Services
Anchor Installation
Our certified technicians install permanent fall protection anchors meeting OSHA 1910.27 standards. We use structural analysis to determine optimal placement for rigid post, tip-over, and portable anchor systems. Each installation includes substrate testing to ensure 5,000 lb. load capacity compliance. We specialize in complex roof configurations including standing seam metal, membrane, and concrete surfaces.
Industrial Rope Access
SPRAT-certified technicians perform maintenance using Industrial Rope Access techniques. This method eliminates scaffolding needs while maintaining 100% tie-off compliance. Applications include high-rise window cleaning, HVAC maintenance, and structural inspections. Our dual-rope system ensures continuous worker protection at heights exceeding 300 feet.
Fall Protection Training
We deliver OSHA-authorized fall protection training programs. Courses cover anchor system inspection, personal protective equipment (PPE) use, and emergency rescue procedures. Participants receive SPRAT Level I-III certifications. Training includes hands-on practice with horizontal lifelines, rigid rail systems, and davit arm installations.
Roof Anchor Certification
Comprehensive anchor certification includes visual inspection, load testing to 5,000 lbs, and documentation per ANSI Z359.1 standards. We provide 10-year compliance certifications with annual inspection reminders. Our process identifies corrosion, substrate degradation, and load distribution issues in existing systems.
High Rise Window Cleaning
We clean skyscrapers using OSHA-compliant rope descent systems and motorized monorails. Our technicians maintain 100% tie-off while working on buildings exceeding 50 stories. Services include glass restoration, silicone caulking, and hard-water stain removal. We use deionized water systems for streak-free results on all architectural glass surfaces.
