In some situations, particularly in high rise developments, access by rope provides the only solution. 

Access is achieved by rope work utilising existing eye bolts and latchway systems or by abseil teams who work from the A Frames which they rig and are part of their mobile equipment. 

This highly technical work is carried out by skilled and experienced professionals and as with all other solutions is only undertaken after a risk assessment and method statement has been drawn up, approved and committed to by all parties.
