Owensby & Kritikos, Inc. (O&K) has entered in a strategic alliance with a local rope repelling company.  This unique agreement allows both parties to expand the business relationship with each other’s client base.  Additionally, it provides an expanded base of trained NDE personnel that have received authorized and approved rope repelling training and safety instruction.

 

Our rope repelling alliance partner also brings an expanded base of services to O&K by furnishing our customers with services such as welding, minor blasting and painting, insulation replacement and repairs.

This combination of talent has incorporated the strength of two solid organizations.  Rope repelling in the workplace has carved a unique niche that is rapidly being recognized as a viable combination.  The quick and efficient access to difficult work areas and tremendous cost savings versus fixed scaffolding are quickly making this technology widely accepted by the industry.  

 

The rope repelling industry is safe.  All of the set-ups include dual attachment to tie off anchor points.  The work crew is normally made up of three workers.  One person is a Level III, which through hours of actual rope time and training classes qualifies him to be the site supervisor.  He is the person responsible for overseeing the selection of set-up points and rigging of the safe lines.  There are two other individuals who support the team that perform the actual work duties on the elevated system.

This technology is widely accepted by chemical plants, the refining industry, the offshore oil and gas industry and the drilling contractor/operators for access to difficult work areas.
