Rope access eliminates costly, time-consuming assembly and dismantling of temporary work platforms that can cause disruption of production, personnel and traffic flow. The rope access system is removed with personnel at the end of each shift, further reducing the disruption or safety concerns caused by other traditional access methods. Aquatic Sciences has adapted the General Requirements and Guidelines of the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA) as our standard operating procedure.

ASI applies rope access technology for dam faces, penstocks, water towers, piers, bridges and support structures to perform the following services:
