For temporary or permanent  entertainment venues

Rope access is cost effective

When correctly performed Rope Access offers a quick, cost effective and safe alternative to using aerial work platforms, cranes and cradles or scaffolding.

In many circumstances it offers the only practical option for access to some structures in some venues, and can be especially useful on temporary installations like concerts and festivals.

MCL-UK can advise on the best use of the rope access and the range of other working at height and fall protection  solutions.
