Specialist access capabilities with high rise structures (ranging through multi-storey residential development to bridges and cliff faces) for structure and fabric surveys. The overriding philosophy to place qualified and trained personnel at the place of concern. Very economical versus temporary access structures.

Rope access was developed by PDP from modern mountaineering and caving techniques. It is intrinsically safe and exceptionally flexible. 15 years of applications includes structural assessment of Church spires; assessments of deep mine work; making safe panels on tall buildings; and pigeon netting of ancient monuments. Contracts are throughout the UK.
