Confined space access and rescue Adelaide

Vertigo provides confined-space access and specialist rescue support across Adelaide and South Australia. We help project teams reach restricted work locations and arrange standby rescue capability for relevant high-risk activities.

Confined-space access for planned work

Some inspection and maintenance tasks require entry into spaces with restricted access. Vertigo brings rope access and confined-space capability to these locations so the work can be considered alongside its entry and retrieval requirements.

Inspection and maintenance access

We provide confined-space access for inspections, industrial cleaning, maintenance and repairs. Applications include internal silo work and building riser shafts, with access for shaft inspection, sealing and formwork.

Silo access

Our team undertakes internal and external silo work, including access for inspection and maintenance. Internal access requirements can be discussed alongside the specific task and the need for rescue support.

Standby rescue support

Rescue arrangements form an important part of planning work in confined or difficult-access locations. Vertigo provides standby rescue capability, as well as height safety supervision and standby support for planned work at height.
‍
Tell us about the planned work and the environment involved. The required support needs to reflect the access conditions and the people undertaking the task.

Complex rescue capability

Vertigo supports rescue requirements involving height and rope access, as well as confined spaces. These settings can present different retrieval challenges, so the rescue scope needs to be discussed in the context of the project.
‍
Our workforce includes technicians trained in rope access and rescue techniques. That capability supports our role in planned high-risk work and specialist access operations.

Planning access and rescue requirements

Access to the work and the ability to retrieve people both need consideration. Useful information for an initial discussion includes:

  • The structure and location of the work.

  • The task to be undertaken.

  • Known entry and access restrictions.

  • The standby or rescue support required.

Vertigo prepares project safety documentation, including safe work method statements and risk assessments. The work scope and site conditions inform that planning.
