Prior to the induction of The CDM Regulations, many buildings and structures were constructed without provision of systems for high level cleaning of glazing, cladding, steelwork, brickwork etc.

CAN undertakes, vacuuming and dusting, wet and dry cleaning, or pressure washing using rope access, offering a safe, cost-effective and flexible solution to these cleaning challenges, without the need for any modification to the existing structure.

Furthermore, rope access techniques can be incorporated at design stage as an access system in a new-build project. This allows full access to the structure in the future, supplementing or replacing potentially obtrusive and costly cradle systems.

Rope access offers an ideal cleaning solution prior to the handover of construction projects. The cleaning task can be carried out quickly, without any disruption to other trades completing on site.

Our access techniques result in substantial cost savings on projects. Lightweight, easily movable protective habitats and other bespoke access solutions are used to increase productivity, in areas where painting would otherwise impinge on other activities.

We are also experienced in the application of Metalcoat to steel cables, and the application of protective coatings to concrete. In addition, we work closely with coatings manufacturers to ensure quality of application, whatever the substrate and whether applied by roller, brush or spray.

Whether you are managing a brand-new construction project or overseeing the upkeep of an existing structure, CAN provides a strategic advantage by delivering significant financial savings and reducing overall project timelines. Our comprehensive electrical and mechanical services are executed by a team of highly skilled and experienced tradesmen.

On busy sites the access requirements of different sub-contractors often conflict, requiring complex scheduling and significant knock-ons if one contractor overruns. Use of our rope access techniques means that work at height can be carried out more flexibly, within an increased time window and with less impact on the critical path.

Abseiling is a professional method of working at height in which trained specialists use ropes and specialized equipment to access, inspect, and carry out maintenance or repair work on the exterior of buildings and structures.Abseil inspection is an efficient and cost effective way of undertaking a thorough tactile inspection of high rise buildings, bridges and other structures.

Abseiling techniques enable all areas of the structure to be accessed quickly, with little disruption to occupants or pedestrians.

Rope access techniques are ideally suited to minor works that can be carried out quickly and efficiently, with minimum disturbance at ground level or to occupants.

More substantial works may require the CAN-Span which can be assembled in single suspended lengths ranging from 3 to 20 feet, or in more complex configurations to accommodate unusual building shapes or profiles. This system can also be enclosed to form a protective 'habitat'.

Both CAN-Span and rope access systems are lightweight, flexible and easy to install and move around the structure. Most maintenance tasks can be carried out in less time than it would take to install a traditional access system.
