The use of rope access technology in the petrochemical industry has contributed to great savings in both time and cost over conventional access methods such as scaffolding.  Areas of improved efficiency include:

• Speed of set up and dismantling  
• Quick access and egress  
• Disruption of operations is minimised  
• Valuable deck space is left uncluttered

 Access has been made markedly easier to such areas as:  

• Jacket structure  
• Under deck  
• Splash zone areas
• Outboard areas  
• Flare boom
