Rope Access Works

Rope access systems are a safe method of working at height and is commonly used as an alternative to gondolas, boom lifts and scaffolding, due to their flexibility. The advantages of using rope access include the speed of deployment, safety, and ability to access difficult spaces in order to carry out work. It also has minimal impact on its surrounding areas, which is important in places where buildings are clustered close to each other. Hydro-seal specialises in rope access works which employ a complete system — where planning, management, competence and equipment are treated with equal importance, as each is dependent on the other to ensure a safe system of work. We provide rope access works for all industrial building works, and supply certified, experienced workers, equipment and all necessary documentation.

Applications

Sealant Application & Replacement

Sealant is commonly applied for sealing joints between cladding and window panels. Failed joint sealant at leaky skylights, windows, building cladding and flashing are all frustrating problems we encounter in weatherproofing. There are a wide variety of waterproof sealant/silicone solutions and different methods of access to achieve an economical, aesthetic, and permanent watertight sealing solution.

Hydro-Seal's rope access technicians are able to assess the situation up-close and apply sealants properly due to their ability to easily access the repair site.
