Benefits
What are the benefits of rope access?
There are many benefits speaking for rope access. Unlike traditional access methods, custom designed rope access solutions can be utilised to fit various applications. Among other benefits, rope access is:
Versatile
Rope access professionals can apply the techniques to a wide variety of environments, from confined-space penstocks to tower structures to complicated steel installations.
Cost-effective
Rope access is very economical. Because fewer personnel can accomplish faster completion it means minimal downtime which effecitively means lower costs.
Efficient and Quick
Rope access systems are installed and dismanteled quickly and require fewer personnel than traditional methods. Less interference with other facility operations means less disruptions and minimised downtime.
Environmentally friendly
Rope access techniques and equipment has minimal effect on the surrounding environment compared to traditional access methods.
Safe
Independently certified rope access technicians uphold an exceptional safety record which makes it one of the safest jobs in the whole construction industry.

These anchors are suitable for work positioning, fall arrest, restraint, rope access and rescue. Eyebolts and anchors offer the user protection from a possible fall from height whilst carrying out hazardous external works such as window cleaning, building maintenance, inspection, rope access and pest control.
PPJ Global can provide and install a comprehensive range of removable or fixed eyebolts and single point anchors for use in Concrete, Masonry, brick and steel. All anchors can be installed either internally or externally. Anchors used are manufactured from high tensile steel with either a galvanized or plastic coated finish or bright polished grade 316 stainless steel.
Installation:
Installation should be carried out in accordance with BS 7883:2005 - Application & Use of Anchor Devices Conforming to BS EN 795 and Appendix A of BS EN 795:1997 - Protection Against Falls From A Height - Anchor Devices - Requirements & Testing. All installations carried out by PPJ Global will include the full test procedure described below In the case of Anchor Devices installed into brickwork, concrete and masonry a 6kN axial load test of 15 seconds must be performed to ensure the integrity of the fixing. Through fixings require a torque setting of 35Nm.
Pre-use inspection:
Prior to each occasion of use, anchor devices should be visually inspected & checked manually, in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. This should be performed by competent personnel.
Inspection:
At least once every 12 months each anchor device should be subjected to a periodic examination in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. If used for rope access purposes, anchor devices come under the Lifting Operations & Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), which requires an examination period to be every 6 months. Anchor devices that have been previously installed that are not used on a regular basis should not be used unless they have been inspected within the previous 12 months (or 6 months for rope access) Suitable labels will also be provided clearly showing the date of next inspection and the use that the anchor is intended.
• Fall Arrest Only
• Rope Access Only
• For work Positioning & Restraint
For connection of personal fall protection equipment to anchor devices, connectors conforming to BS EN 362 should be used, Advice detailing this is given in BS 843

Main Disciplines
Fibre Optic Installation & Testing
PPJ are proficient In the installation, termination, connection, testing and certification of Fibre optic cables.
Fibre Optics are cables made up of super-thin filaments of glass or other transparent materials that can carry beams of light. Because a fiber-optic cable is light-based, data can be sent through it at the speed of light. Using a laser transmitter that encodes frequency signals into pulses of light, ones and zeros are sent through the cable. The receiving end of the transmission translates the light signals back into data which can be read by a computer.
Because fiber-optics are based entirely on beams of light, they are less susceptible to noise and interference than than other data-transfer mediums such as copper wires or telephone lines. However, the cables are fragile and are usually placed underground, which makes them difficult and expensive to install. Some fiber-optic cables are installed above ground, but if they break, they often need to be completely replaced, which is not cheap. While copper wires can be spliced and mended as many times as needed, it is much harder to fix glass fiber-optic cables.

The Benefits
Rope access is THE primary alternative to scaffold and mechanised access. These traditional methods have many disadvantages; for example, scaffolding can be prohibitively expensive, slow to errect, inconvenient, unsightly, a very real security risk, can damage pavements and block emergency escape routes. Powered access machines provide safety at height, but due to their size and restrictive mobility, do not always provide the best solution. Please have a look at the presentation and short video explaining what rope access is and how it can be used.

Cable Management
Cable management refers to an important step during the installation of building services (i.e. electrical services) and the subsequent installation of equipment providing means to tidily secure electrical, data, and other cables. The term is often used interchangeably to refer to products used for the purpose of managing cables or to the workmanship carried out to cables whilst being installed. Cable management is important in many fields, such as IT, communications, power distribution, facility wiring, local area networks, etc. The purpose of cable management is twofold: to support the cables whilst being routed through the building from Point A to B (often called containment), and to make subsequent management of the cables through the lifetime of the installation easier.
Typically, products such as cable trays, cable ladders, and cable baskets are used to support a cable through cabling routes. The IT industry has special needs because, unlike heavy power cables, data cables often need to be added, moved, or removed many times during the life of the installation. It is usual practice to install "fixed cables" between cabling closets or cabinets. These cables are contained in cable trays etc., and are terminated at each end onto patch panels in the communications cabinet or outlets at the desktop. The circuits are then interconnected to the final destination using patch cords. Cables can easily become tangled, making them difficult to work with, sometimes resulting in devices accidentally becoming unplugged as one attempts to move a cable. Such cases are known as "cable spaghetti".

Cement Manufacture
As part of a £6.4m kiln expansion project, to increase production by 25% from 800k TPA to 1m TPA, several extra cables of several hundred metres was required to be installed. These ranged from fibre-optic to control and power cables. The challenge faced by the project engineers was how to install the cables from the MCC panel in the substation to the field device(s) utilising the existing cable ladders and keeping costs to a minimum. The cable run consisted of vertical ladders within a cable gantry arrangement and a vertical run of 250ft over 6 floors of the pre-heater tower. The commissioning of the plant modifications had to be done during a 4-week shutdown period. Therefore all the new cables had to be installed beforehand whilst the plant was running. Access was required to the cable management systems to install the cables. Several options were considered based on cost, access and safety.
MEWP
- Poor access restricted getting the MEWP to the area of work.
- The cable run was too complex to employ just one type of MEWP.
- Large area restriction zones required which could impede maintenance & process operations.
Scaffolding
- A landing would have to be installed every 2.5m to allow for the dressing in of the cables.
- Excessive man-hours required to errect/dismantle scaffolding in advance of plant shutdown.
- The scaffold would most likely restrict maintenance and process operations.
- As well as the scaffolding team, an electrical team would have to be employed to install cables.
Rope Access
- Personnel are time-served industrial electricians eliminating requirement for scaffolding teams.
- Man-hours are reduced to an absolute minimum.
- Ropes dismantled shift end & re-rigged start of next shift lifting any work area restriction zone.
- All our access equipment requires minimal storage space - it all fits into a holdall.
- Rope access is not likely to interfere with any production requirements.
- Very minimal restriction zones required.
PPJ Global provided the solution, with a team of rope access technicians. All time served electricians, able to install & dress the cables quicker than errecting the scaffold alone!

PPJ Recent Projects
ATOX Raw Mill Belt Weighers
Power and signal cables were required for two new belt weighers as part of a waste reduction process project.
The vertical section of the cable run was approximately 15 to 20 metres off the ground, directly above a ground mounted vibrating screen.
To scaffold up to the ladder rack would have meant errecting the scaffold around the screen. This would have restricted access to the screen should maintenance be required or blockages to be removed. There was no access possible for a MEWP.
The ATOX Raw Mill is scheduled to be shut down for maintenance for 12 hour periods on a weekly basis. PPJ Global were able to coincide with the down day and install the cables using rope access techniques for working at height.
The working at height operation was completed during the 12 hour window.

Fibre Optic Installation - Tunstead Quarry
Buxton Cement Works (1M tpa Cement Manufacture)
PPJ Global Ltd were commissioned to install the power, control and fibre cables as part of the install of an ammonia injection system. The project was aimed at further reducing the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, thus decreasing the carbon footprint of the plant.
The cables ran vertically over five floors of the pre-heater tower. The plant posed many obstacles and components that required round the clock access for the efficient running of the plant. The employment of scaffolding required a plant shutdown for the duration of the scaffold erection/dismantle as well as the duration of the cable install.
PPJ Global Ltd completed the cable install without any disruption to production with minimum amount of equipment onsite. At the end of each working day all equipment is dismantled and packed away in a matter of minutes eradicating any tripping hazards and barriers.
