According to the Health and Safety Commission, Confined Spaces are
described as including
“…any place, including any chamber, tank, vat, silo, pit, trench, pipe,
sewer, flue, well or
similar space which, by virtue of its enclosed
nature, there arises a reasonably foreseeable specified risk”.
Skytek can provide specialist personnel with confined spaces
qualifications and experience, breathing apparatus (either for emergency
or operational use), and the necessary skills to perform the allotted
task.
Skytek can tackle steep, vertical, or overhanging cliffs, cuttings or
embankments which previously would have required the use of expensive
scaffolding. In fact, such is the nature of Rope Access that many sites
are only accessible to climbers and abseilers. In conjunction with our
consultant geotechnical engineers, the entire range of services can be
provided.

Rope Access methods have often proven to be the simplest and most
cost-effective method of cleaning difficult to access
areas.

Skytek can provide teams of highly experienced advertising banner and
sign installers.
SYSTEM DESIGNS
BRACKET INSTALLATION
BANNER INSTALLATION
Skytek can
provide experienced electrical engineers who can access all areas.
Some of our tasks include:
SMOKE VENT INSTALLATION/MAINTENANCE
ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE
HIGH LEVEL LIGHTING SOLUTIONS
Skytek can offer solutions to a very broad range of
maintenance issues that other forms of access simply do not
justify. Essentially, there are very few tasks within the
industrial field that cannot be completed by using Rope Access
techniques.
ANTI-PEST MEASURES(PREVENTION ONLY)
CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
RIGGING/LIFTING
TRAINING IN INDUSTRIAL ROPE ACCESS
Many of our abseilers are also experienced and qualified
machine operators with years of mobile platform usage behind
them. These units range from simple scissor lifts to 35 metre
high Spiders. All have the relevant IPAF ticket. In many
situations, combining the two forms of access can mean that a very
wide range of service can be provided.
