Rope access cleaning at FrieslandCampina

Additional advantages of rope access / abseiling techniques

No hard or solid surface needed
Not only above water but also factory installations, storage tanks or machinery make locations difficult to access. These obstacles do not make maintenance work above them easy. Nevertheless, periodic maintenance is needed everywhere. Using rope access is an excellent solution for this. Depending on the situation, we look for suitable anchor points above the obstacles. In an industrial environment, these are usually always present. By installing the ropes at the anchor points, we can perform the required maintenance work while working on the ropes through abseiling techniques. Often even without disturbing the production process.

Hygienic working method at height
In a hygienic environment such as in the food industry, high demands are placed on all resources needed for maintenance work. One of the many advantages of industrial abseiling techniques is that one needs very few (labour) resources to carry out work at height. So there is no need to drag scaffolding parts or drive in aerial platforms which often create unhygienic situations. Apart from the necessary tools for maintenance work, ropes and abseiling materials, our rope access technicians do not need much else to carry out the work. Furthermore, they always adapt their work clothes and PPE to the working environment in order to work as hygienically and safely as possible.
