Rope Access is used extensively on stabilisation works on cliffs and slopes. Where steep slopes require stabilisation, or netting to reduce debris hazard, rope-access is often the most cost-effective method of access. Materials and equipment can be safely lowered and secured as required using light, self-contained teams. The flexibility of equipment allows rigging and removal much more efficiently than conventional access, returning cost savings for the client.
