Industrial Plant Custom Engineered Solutions

Industrial Access is your go to service provider for industrial plants and facilities in Minneapolis MN, Edina MN, Golden Valley MN, Roseville, MN, New Hope MN, and the surrounding towns and communities. Experience the difference of utilizing both rope access methods & custom-engineered solutions.

Rope access methods have become a popular choice for facilities for many reasons. These methods are more cost-effective and safe than traditional methods. Also, due to the level of knowledge we require our technicians to possess, they consistently provide high-quality results. We require all of our rope access technicians to be SPRAT (Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians) certified, which is the highest level of certifications in this field.

Rope access methods make tasks at tall heights obtainable. But they can also assist with routine maintenance completed at regular heights. These methods allow for easier work inside a structure since it doesn’t require complicated scaffolding setup and takedown. Due to the diversity of capabilities, there are many possibilities.

Below is a list of the capabilities that Industrial Access can perform in Minneapolis, MN.

Structural Survey & Inspection

Structural surveys are used to detect any issues on structures at your facility. Rope access methods make it quicker, safer, and easier to perform a structural survey on buildings, industrial chimneys, plants and mill structures, and more. Surveys and inspections such as these will reveal any potentially serious issues early on, which can save your company money in the long run.

Ground Anchoring / Geotechnical

Geotechnical engineering and ground anchoring can present issues in difficult-to-reach areas. We combine our innovative rope access techniques with the latest rock drilling technology to install rock bolts, soil nails, dowels, and earth anchors to make geotechnical work efficiently while remaining a cost-effective solution.

Sand Blasting / Surface Preparation

An important step to prepare for painting or coating is to perform a sandblasting. Our technicians can expertly perform sandblasting on any industrial structure. Our rope access methods save time and allow us to access tall structures in as soon as an hour.

Painting, Sealants & Coatings Application

After sandblasting, you’ll be ready to reapply any paint, sealing, or coating to your structure. Since environmental factors can impact the structure of your industrial chimney, smokestack, or tower, services such as painting, sealing, and coating application can mitigate erosion and wear and tear.

Gunite Application

Gunite liners and coatings can benefit the interior of industrial chimneys, smokestacks, furnaces, tanks, and pipelines. This lining can help reduce energy costs, offer fewer maintenance requirements, and produce fewer emissions.

Glazing

Glazing glass windows and building structures is a fragile task requiring extreme caution and safety measures. These systems require regular maintenance to ensure they are performing correctly and not susceptible to water ingress. From annual glazing maintenance, glazing surveys, and inspections, or glazing cleanings, Industrial Access can assist.

NDT (Non-Destructive Testing)

NDT is performed to examine the condition and strength of tall or hard-to-access structures. We perform the following NDT methods to offer quick and cost-efficient structural testing:

Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UT)
Schmidt (Swiss) Hammer Testing
Infrared Thermography
Laser Surveys
Hot Camera Inspections

Pipework

We perform inspections, regular maintenance, and any repairs on pipework at your facility. Whether you need PMI for Carbon Steel Pipe Inspections or welding to repair cracks or vulnerabilities, our technicians at Industrial Access can help.

Our methods minimize downtime and allow facilities to get back to normal operations quickly.

Welding

IA also performs welding services where it is needed. Our welding services are completed quickly and efficiently to maintain your asset and prevent further erosion or decay.

Slope Stabilization

Slope stabilization helps minimize erosion and prevent it from becoming a safety issue for construction crews and the public. Our expert team can easily complete this task with customized methods by installing anchored reaction blocks for steep slopes or large retaining walls.

Rigging & Demolition Services

Our innovative techniques can help move large and cumbersome debris at the site. We pair heavy lifting and rigging equipment with our innovative rope access methods to expedite clean-up at your facility. We can also provide demolition services if you need a structure removed from your facility.

Standby Rescue

Our SPRAT training enables our technicians to be prepared for the self-rescue of one another if needed. They can safely lower injured workers to the ground in minutes. Industrial Access Safety Standby Services are tailored to meet the exact requirements of many types of high angle work, regardless of if you are working in restraint, positioning, or a fall arrest system.
