Chimney & Stack Cleaning, Repair, and Other Services
Industrial Access Specialty Multi-Craft has a well-trained team to perform various methods to solve work-access challenges. Heavy machinery, scaffolding, or lifts can be impractical and costly, so we introduced rope access techniques. Rope access methods require thoroughly trained technicians to work closely with engineers and project managers. Together, they make it possible to access tight, high-angle, and hard-to-reach areas.
About Industrial Access
Hard-to-reach areas and confined spaces are no roadblock for Industrial Access Specialty Multi-Craft. Our team is highly trained and experienced in every step of the process. We train our rope access technicians to meet the highest of standards, such as SPRAT (Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians). Planning, monitoring, atmospheric testing, and rescue & emergency services are all important areas of expertise as well.

Inspection / Testing
Testing and inspection is an important step to ensure the safety of your workers. We provide structural and chemical attack analyses, a detailed inspection report, as well as video and photographs.
Our process meets the highest industry standards. Some common tests and methods we use:
- Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
- X-Ray
- Ultrasonic thickness
- Petrographic testing
Cleaning/Maintenance
We offer hydro blasting/power washing, sandblasting, and hydro-media blasting to keep your structures clean and efficient.
Coatings/Paintings
Our rope access methods make quality painting, coating, and refinishing for industrial chimneys and smokestacks easy. We’ll help you save money and maintain high quality products.
Lining Systems
Lining your structure improves its performance and protects it from premature deterioration. Our team is trained to install, repair, and replace lining systems in industrial structures. We work with the following lining types: borosilicate block, gunite refractory, refractory brick, and vinyl ester resin.
Lightning Protection, Ladders, and Cages
Making sure structures are safe is a priority at IA. Properly configured lightning protection is vital to avoid any devastating effects that lightning could pose for your structures. We also set up ladders, fall arrest, and Saf-T-Climb and provide maintenance on those if desired.
Engineering Solutions
Our engineers lead the way in providing solutions to strengthen structures. These projects include chimney and stack design or components, inner stay-bands, structural analysis, and breaching ducts, as they require advanced engineering skills.
