With rope access STONE uses ropes, climbing techniques and safety equipment to gain access to inaccessible areas. This can be at low or high heights along all building facades to get a close up observation of all possible façade defects close up without the need for full mobilization and sidewalk shed installation.
STONE provides Rope Access and Suspended Inspection services at all types and levels of building to ensure a non impactful method of observation without the obstruction of scaffolding. STONE works closely with the Department of Buildings in and around NY to follow all guidelines and safety requirements for rope access. Working with management and ownership to allow accessibility at any location along the building with rope access:
In height or depth, there is always a solution to reach an ‘inaccessible’ place by using rope access.
Rope access, following all safety guidelines, is a safe way of working at height. STONE technicians will be attached to two independent anchor points, so there is always a backup line present.
It is fast & efficient. Rope access is quickly assembled and disassembled without the need for full mobilization scaffolding installation, and the expense of permitting for all those safety requirements. This makes it time-saving and also suitable for urgent assignments.
It brings minimal inconvenience. Rope access takes up very little space compared to other methods such as outriggers or hooks, which means that the inconvenience for the ongoing business processes is kept to a minimum, less workers on site, and less maintenance.
It is an environmentally friendly working method. Where there is no need for a boom lift or additional obstructions, thus allowing for a "green" method of inspection and observation at a building when required.
STONE can assist in filing and procuring approvals of CD-5 Permits for suspended and Hanging Scaffold applications and installation for project observation or repairs.
