About Canadian Rope Access Specialists

We are a Canadian Company located in British Columbia with access to any rope access project across Canada. We have worked in Canada, New Zealand and Australia on several high profile projects like the CN tower, BC Hydro Penstocks, BC place Dome and Niagara Falls.

Our Rope Access Specialists are trained and qualified by either Sprat or Irata and are qualified at all levels. We comply with the industries strict requirements for Safety, Quality, Training, and Work Practices.

Our technicians complete a considerable amount of training and undergo a strict selection process prior to taking their place as part of our team. Teams are selected according to work scope requirements and specific job skills. They are supported by a comprehensive range of industrial safety and rope access equipment.

We use back-up fall arrest systems to eliminate danger in the unlikely failure of the primary means of support. All teams hold current First Aid certificates and emergency First Aid training.
