Scaffolding access
Specialist access
whatever the challenge
Our specialist access services support the completion of all
types of remediation, maintenance, shutdown and construction
works in industrial and commercial environments.
As circumstances differ between structures, we design and
engineer each access system to overcome the constraints
specific to each site and satisfy the project’s particular
requirements for access, public safety, environmental
protection and operational continuity.
The OCS team is committed to the
safety of everyone on site when
constructing and dismantling access
systems by rigid adherence to
industry best practice guidelines.
Whatever the challenges presented by the
project environment we can supply fully
scalable access systems appropriate to the task:
• Mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs)
• Rope access
• Suspended cradles
• System scaffolding
• Tube and fitting scaffolding
