Abseiling system is used to access buildings where a BMU is not feasible. The abseiling pipe rail is installed along the perimeter of the building. One end of the rope is positioned on the stainless steel pipe rail and from this point the abseilers lower their ropes to reach the cleaning facades.

Abseil systems are the ideal solution where a building design does not lend itself to installation of a full permanent access system or would be incapable of bearing the load of a large counterbalanced machine.

Abseil systems allow access to building exteriors through industrial rope access techniques. We can advise on the design and installation of such systems, to allow suitably-trained operatives to use them correctly.

Rail systems are arguably one of most flexible and useful fall protection systems. With a range of abseil and fall-arrest application, rail systems often offer flexible installation options that include surface mounted, side-mounted and overhead. Most rail systems allow multiple users making them extremely productive and efficient when completing work. They are also extremely useful in rescue situations. A key benefit in the rail vs cable system decision is that rail systems often have even load distribution which ensures that even if one user falls, the integrity of the system will not be compromised.

Our range of abseil (rope access) systems includes:

Rope Access Track Systems

• Suitable for buildings with large expanses of façade
• Monorail-based system for ease of movement along façade
• Suitable for face or soffit mounting
• Eliminates needs for multiple rope rig and de-rig

Rope Access Eyebolt Anchor Systems

• For buildings with smaller areas of facade or that require infrequent rope rigging and
• De-rigging
• Suitable for face, roof, or soffit mounting
• Suitable for fixing to concrete, masonry, or steelwork
• Roof-mounted systems work in conjunction with parapet protection measures
• Eyebolts spaced to allow optimal ease of movement between each anchor
