Access across mining plant and structures
Mining infrastructure presents work at different heights and within restricted spaces. Our specialist access capability supports tasks on assets such as:
- Crushers and hoppers.
- Conveyors.
- Processing plant.
- Elevated structural steelwork.
The task may require close inspection or hands-on maintenance. Rope access can provide a means of reaching the relevant area where conventional equipment would be difficult to position.
Inspection and asset maintenance
Inspection and NDT
Vertigo undertakes inspections, NDT and data collection on industrial assets. Visual inspections, measurements and defect mapping help establish condition and identify areas requiring further investigation.
Protective coatings and corrosion control
Our painting capability includes protective coatings and corrosion-control work on exposed steelwork and plant. This supports maintenance of components positioned beyond straightforward ground-level access.
Concrete remediation
We undertake concrete patching and repairs to deteriorated concrete in difficult-access locations. Inspection and testing can also be discussed where the repair scope needs further investigation.
Shutdown support
Vertigo provides specialist access support for shutdown work. Rope access can reduce access setup requirements where it suits the asset and the planned task.
The work programme needs to account for the job location, including remote mine sites, and surrounding site conditions. We meet site induction, training and certification requirements and prepare safe work method statements and risk assessments for the planned work.
Confined-space and lifting requirements
Our broader capabilities include confined-space access and standby rescue, together with specialist rigging and lifting. These can support tasks where restricted entry or the position of equipment adds another access requirement.
The scope of each service needs to reflect the work being undertaken. Bring us the project requirements so we can discuss Vertigo’s role within them.
Discuss your height safety installation
Tell Vertigo about the building or site, the areas people need to access and the work involved. Our team can discuss anchor points, static lines or access infrastructure for your project.
