What Is Rope Access?

It is a technique used to access hard to reach places, to clean and conduct maintenance of higher buildings. It can be used for cleaning, waterproofing, cladding, painting, installing or removal of billboards, and much more using only ropes and a set of tools. Rope Access technicians can safely perform difficult tasks at heights.

Offshore Rope Access Solutions

In the offshore environment, access is everything. Whether you are managing an oil and gas asset or a wind farm, our IRATA-certified teams provide the rapid-deployment, high-safety alternative to scaffolding and heavy machinery.

OIL & GAS OFFSHORE SERVICES

Maintaining asset integrity in high-risk, volatile environments.

  • Flare Boom & Derrick Maintenance: Specialized access for inspection and repair of flare tips and derrick structures without costly shutdowns
  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Advanced NDT inspections (Ultrasonic, Magnetic Particle, Dye Penetrant) to detect structural fatigue in pipelines and hulls
  • Corrosion Control & UHP Blasting: Surface preparation using Ultra High Pressure (UHP) water blasting and industrial coating application in splash zones
  • DROPS Surveys: Comprehensive “Dropped Objects Prevention Scheme” audits to secure loose items at height and protect personnel
  • Rigging & Heavy Lifting: Providing expert rigging support for decommissioning or component replacement in confined spaces

Offshore Wind Energy Services

Maximizing turbine uptime through precision blade and tower care.

  • Blade Inspection & Repair:Leading-edge protection, composite repairs, and lightning protection system (LPS) testing from the rope
  • GWO-Certified Operations:Our technicians are Global Wind Organisation (GWO) trained for survival and technical work on offshore turbines
  • Tower & Nacelle Maintenance:External cleaning, structural bolt torqueing, and visual inspections of the nacelle exterior
  • End-of-Warranty (EOW) Surveys:Detailed asset condition reporting before warranty expiration to identify manufacturing or environmental defects

 

Why On Point Skyriders is the Superior Choice

Benefit How It Helps Your Project
Safety First Statistically the safest access method, utilizing a dual-rope redundancy system (Working Line + Safety Line)
Drastic Cost Savings Eliminates the need for scaffolding hire, crane barges, and large support crews
Minimal Downtime We can rig and begin work in hours, not days, allowing for “live” maintenance during short weather windows
Zero Footprint No heavy machinery on deck. We keep walkways clear and minimize the risk of environmental contamination
Precision Reach We access areas standard platforms can’t, including under-deck areas, jack-up legs, and internal ballast tanks

Our Safety Standards & Compliance

Whether it’s a commercial or industrial project we operate under the world’s most stringent offshore safety protocols, ensuring every technician is fully compliant with:

  • IWH/IRATA Levels 1-3for rope proficiency and supervision
  • GWO Basic Safety Trainingfor offshore wind specific hazards
  • BOSIET/FOETfor oil and gas emergency response and survival
  • Medicalsensuring all personnel are fit for offshore deployment
  • Safety File for any work at height
