CDM regulations place strong emphasis on access provision as
part of new build projects Many leading architects and engineers
actively design in- access points for rope access techniques.
Such foresight can generate enormous cost savings when
compared with complex mechanical cradle or ladder systems
and allows the designer considerable freedom to incorporate
large or complex architectural features such as atria. |

CleaningPrior to the introduction of the CDM regulations, many buildings were constructed without adequate access provision for high level cleaning of glazing, brickwork and structural steelwork. In such cases, rope systems have often provided a cost effective, flexible and safe solution for cleaning and fabric maintenance. Quick to install and dismantle, unobtrusive rope systems are particularly useful for 'handover cleans' which often proceed whilst finishing trades are still on site. For industrial sites such as power stations and petro-chemical plants, CAN offers a comprehensive range of chemical, jet spray and grit blasting techniques. If required, cleaning can be undertaken within lightweight enclosures which suppress rebound overspray. |

MechanicalOperations such as drilling, bolting and cutting can all be undertaken using rope access and CAN also have teams of coded welders. Using specially adapted winches, rope technicians can lift and manipulate large and heavy objects such as air conditioning units and ducting. CAN's proprietary modular work platform - CAN-Span - may be used to reach, for example, bridge and jetty soffits. CAN-Span may also be modified to many different configurations. This adaptability makes it particularly effective to work within congested areas of pipework or complex steelwork. ElectricalAll of CAN's JIB approved electricians are able to work safely at height using industrial rope access techniques. Without the constraints of scaffolding, CAN is able to install traywork, cabling and electrical fittings at any stage of a project. |
