Rope Access

As one of the leading Rope Access companies in South Africa, ASAP Rope Access Technologies provides fast, efficient and quality workmanship while abiding by industry safety standards as governed by IWF (The Institute of Work at Height), the SABS and the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

Rope access is a form of work positioning applying practical ropework which allows access to difficult-to-reach locations. The technique has evolved from those used in climbing and caving. The attraction of this methodology is that it negates the need for scaffolding, cradles or mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPS). Rope workers use a back-up rope fall arrest system in the unlikely failure of their primary means of support.

Signage Installation

Our forte at Signsmith ASAP is our craftsmanship and the innovation with which we install signage of any type, size and weight to our extensive range of clients nationwide via industrial rope access and working at height technologies. Our unrivaled reputation has been built upon the vast array of signage installation services we offer while never compromising on quality, standards and safety. 

Flighting and Deflighting of Building Wraps & Billboards

Signsmith ASAP specialises in the flighting and deflighting of building wraps (which can include the wrapping of an entire silo); and construction of any type of frame, including cable frames. Working with material signs is cost effective as there is no need for extensive steelwork, and the material itself is strong and durable yet non-intrusive, causing less damage to buildings. Signsmith ASAP provides services to convert billboards to a cable structure for flighting purposes which is easier than the Pocket and Bar system, nonetheless both options are possible.

Rope access offers safety, environmental and cost benefits

Working at height by means of ropework removes any access limitations encountered with conventional approaches of erecting scaffolding and using cranes, resulting in a much lower impact on the environment.   ASAP Rope Access Technologies opens up a whole range of safer and cheaper signage installation options, not to mention the flexibility to think bigger, better and more creatively! The convenience of using this approach is a perfect match for maintenance requirements and services in the mining and construction industries, all of which Signsmith ASAP is renowned for.

Difficult access

Clients are increasingly choosing rope access solutions for installation and maintenance requirements. The ease with which difficult to access areas can be reached with rope access technology combined with the safety standards employed by ASAP often outweigh the space and cost restraints experienced with scaffolding and aerial platform alternatives.

Inspections

We offer ad hoc, shutdown and scheduled maintenance inspection services which include the upkeep of pipes and pipelines, structural steelwork, large manufacturing plants (including cement cyclones), electrical connections and electrical installations (LED’s, floodlights, aerial masts and normal globes).

Silo Cleaning

Rigging
