Why do we need rope access rather than scaffolding?
Scaffolding can take days to construct and remove. It hinders access, disturbs the area, and is significantly more than the work that you have to do.

Our technicians are there and working in just a few hours of being mobilized. We are able to access areas that scaffolding is not able to access, including curving exteriors, interior shafts telecom masts, bridge undersides and cliff faces. We leave no footprints on the ground or cause disturbances to the workers working within or within the structure.
For property owners, facility managers and project managers working in Saudi Arabia, rope access services is often the best solution available.
