Rope Access Industrial Painting

When it comes to painting your home, the main objective is an aesthetic one, and the main decision to make is colour.

The same cannot be said for industrial painting.

It’s not difficult to spot a rusty, damaged looking industrial structure around and of the larger cities in Scotland, and while painting can help with the appearance of these industrial structures, this is not its primary function.

Industrial painting is a very important part of the preservation, protection, and maintenance of an industrial buildings structure. Specific paints used to protect industrial buildings and assets help ward off corrosion, can increase fireproofing as well as improve the temperature regulation of a building. In the damp environment of Scotland with the heavy rain, acidic air pollution, road salts and freezing and thawing conditions, protecting your industrial property is an essential and regularly required task.

With air pollution, in and around the city damaging the exterior of industrial structures, the maintenance of paint work is required, not only for the overall appearance but also to provide sufficient protection. If neglected, climate conditions can cause lasting and irreversible damage.

The problem is allowed to develop because of two principle factors. Access and cost. Specialist exterior paint can be expensive and usually requires specialist access equipment to reach points in the building that a simple ladder can’t. But access platforms and scaffolding are both very expensive but essential to reach ‘at height’ locations to complete the industrial painting work. Most industrial structures are not in easily accessible areas and whether they require work platforms or erecting scaffolding, you can be almost certain of slight or major disruptions to work or general movement such as closed roads. Is there another option? Yes there is. One that is faster, cheaper and safer than access platforms and scaffolding. The alternative solution to this, and a much more efficient one – Rope access.
