Bridge Inspection and Maintenance

Since 1994, Skala has specialized in bridge inspection and maintenance using rope access. By using a broad range of access techniques, our specialists can place themselves within arm's reach of critical members in the most safe, efficient and economic way possible.

Rope access capabilities allow the Skala team to work on structures that would otherwise be inaccessible or too expensive to reach using other means. Minimizing or eliminating lane or track closures is just one way Skala lowers costs to the project and the regional economy.
