What Abcas have been up to – from cliff stabilisation in Gibraltar to paint thickness testing
07/11/09
New smoke detector heads were fitted as part of an upgrade to an existing fire alarm system within a food processing factory. The works were above a fragile floor area and our technicians were able to use aiding techniques to move along structural steelwork to carry out the works in a completely safe manner and without loss of factory production.

As part of an inner city mixed use redevelopment this new multi storey car park was to be faced with a “Living Garden”. Climbers were planted in borders along the base of the walls and encouraged to climb the stainless steel wire support system we were commissioned to install. Once established the plants would soften the impact of the structure to nearby residents.
Roped access was used as the site was restricted and the terrain uneven.
The project was completed ahead of programme.

As part of a feasibility study into the construction of a new viewing platform on top of a 100m high cliff on the Pembrokeshire Coast a geological survey of the cliff below was required.
Abcas were employed to provide a safe means of access & supervision for the duration of the site works.
The benefits of using rope access techniques for this work included:
11/05/09
Following an investigation into water ingress brickwork re-pointing was carried on this high rise block in Bristol
07/12/08
Following several rockfalls onto a narrow main road in West Wales Abcas were awarded the contract to initially scale the rock cutting and then install rockfall protection netting. Protective fencing and a traffic management system were required to ensure the safety of road users during our works as the road had to be kept open.
Works were completed within budget and on schedule.
