Making problems history
October 1st 2009 Many listed buildings have no safety anchor eyebolt
systems, and window frames often leak, so using reach
and wash or pure water technology is problematic.UP2
Access has the solution
Historic buildings have been a passion
for me throughout my career," says
Peter Hulstrom, UP2 MD.
"I've worked on many over the years,
including a number of Grade I buildings of
national importance."
These buildings are often not allowed to
install anchor eyebolt systems, or the
appearance of the systems would not be in
keeping with the aesthetic of the property.
Hulstrom says he has enjoyed
overcoming the challenges presented by
such factors, but has always been aware
that access difficulties and the constraints
imposed by the nature of listed buildings
were areas that needed to be addressed.
"We recently purchased the new CE
Marked Rope Access Portable Rigs from
Clear Cleaning Access Solutions,"says
Hulstrom,"and we're delighted with them.
Our access problems are solved."
"This rig is a CE Marked portable
suspension anchorage system that can be
wheeled into place, and it's attracting a
great deal of interest from specialist
contractors who need safe suspension
during rope access," says Richard Emanuel,
Clear Cleaning's director."It's also valued by
high level window cleaners who want to
use the rig internally to facilitate the need to
provide self rescue solutions."
UP2 argues that fixed suspension anchor
eyebolt systems are expensive to install and
have to be annually inspected.There's also
an additional six monthly examination at
further cost.The company says portable rigs
don't incur any of those expenses. For
