Rock Scaling / Descaling
Controlled scaling and descaling removes loose, fractured, and unstable rock from steep slopes, cliffs, cuts, and exposed rock faces. Rope access places technicians directly on the face to identify and remove hazardous material in targeted areas, helping reduce uncontrolled rockfall and prepare surfaces for subsequent stabilization or protection systems.
Why Rope Access?
— Hands-On Access to Unstable Areas
— Controlled + Targeted Removal
— Access Across Steep + Vertical Faces
— Flexible Movement Across Irregular Terrain
