What Abcas have been up to – from cliff stabilisation in Gibraltar to paint thickness testing
10 December 2010
As part of Newport’s festival celebrations Abcas rigged a giant promotional “washing line” of colourful nylon clothing attached to a steel cable.
The clothes were attached at ground level and then the whole assembly hauled into position by our experienced riggers.
An electric winch was used to assist the access and hauling operations.

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.
