Assembly work Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam
On behalf of Damen Shiprepair in Amsterdam, ATI Abseiltechnieken carried out assembly work in a boom of a large crane. To replace the cables, ATI had to mount protection on the boom. Due to the height of the boom, not everything could be reached using aerial platforms. Using our industrial abseiling techniques, also known as rope access, our technicians were able to position themselves at the sites and mount the protection on the boom.
Additional benefits of rope access / abseiling techniques
Working safely at height
Rope access is the safest way to work at height. A.T.I. Abseiltechnieken works exclusively according to IRATA and VCA guidelines. This means that all our personnel are trained to perform work at locations that are difficult to reach. Statistics collected worldwide by IRATA since the association’s inception show that the work/(near) accident ratio with rope access work is almost zero. Especially when compared with conventional aerial work methods.
Time savings
The required abseiling materials and tools are often easy to take to the work site. Once on site, the ropes can be installed at the appropriate anchor points and our rope access techniques allow us to quickly position ourselves at the desired location. Compared to erecting and dismantling scaffolding or deploying a crane, this is a huge time saver.
