| Rope Access & Inspection

Skelton Thomas rope access & inspection offer a range of services including:

• Unmanned air vehicle (UAV) inspection – confined space and external
• 3D mapping
• Thermal and volumetric scanning
• Non-destructive testing (NDT)
• Magnetic particle inspection (MPI)
• Ultrasonic thickness checking (UT)
• Dye penetrant inspection (DPI)
• Traditional visual inspection (PCN qualified inspectors)
• Surface-eddy current testing
• Phased array ultrasonics
• Time of flight diffraction (TOFD)
• Installation of debris and man safe netting (FASET)

Our inspection techniques reduce the requirements for working at height and in confined spaces allowing us to undertake a safe first audit so that further inspection and maintenance can be prioritised. Where working at height is unavoidable, rope access is an excellent alternative to conventional access methods such as scaffolding and mobile elevating work platforms, delivering fast and efficient mobilisation.

“Rope access has proved itself to be the safest and most cost effective solution on land-based and off-shore installations.”
