A second comparative study, to understand the advantages of using industrial climbing, in relation to the assembly of scaffolding, was carried out by the technical team of ROPE STEEL. In this case, the operation was an inspection on 29 twinned spring supports (G), installed at a height of 10 meters each. Industrial mountaineering was used to access the supports, which generated savings of 85% compared to the cost of scaffolding.

It is worth remembering that the number of employees to assemble the scaffold would be greater, which would increase exposure to accidents, both for people and for materials, in addition to the increase in operating costs.

In the table below, there are the quantitative data of the number of staff, days and people needed to carry out the inspection, please note:

Benefits

• Unlimited height
• Significant reduction in the number of professionals involved
• No need for tubular or suspended scaffolding
• No need for pre-built structures
• Risk reduction, with trained rescue workers, on standby
• Greater mobilization agility, in case of emergency, leaving the site is safer and guaranteed
• Higher quality of service
• Improvement in the work environment.

Disadvantages

• Climatic limitations, some activities should not be carried out in the rain
• No parallel activity can be performed, where access is being performed.
