This week, we say goodbye to our Depot Manager, Karl, as he begins an exciting new chapter moving to his dream location in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

Karl has been an integral part of Vertical Access for 20+ years. He has ensured the smooth running of our depot and overseen the logistics that keep our projects operating on site. His hard work, commitment, and eye for detail have been a huge part of our success and growth.

Beyond the role, Karl has been a valued colleague and friend to many of us at VA. His presence will be truly missed both in the depot and on-site, but we are thrilled for him as he takes on his next adventure.

From all of us at Vertical Access: thank you, Karl, for everything you’ve contributed to the company. We wish you nothing but the very best for the future.

✈️ Skylink Success at Manchester Airport
- Recent Project

✅ The Overview
Recently, our team was called in to conduct intrusive surveys on the Skylink bridge roof at Manchester Airport, helping to establish the roof’s composition ahead of a major refurbishment.

⚠️ The Challenge
With live passenger traffic, strict time constraints and a busy operational footprint, scaffolding was simply not an option.

The survey data we captured also had to be recorded in a precise and easily interpreted format so that the architect could immediately begin their work.

🔎 Our Response
We combined a range of access methods including MEWP, Spider MEWP, rope access & work restraint, to safely reach and record the required areas without causing disruption.

Our bespoke digital recording systems meant that the information could be handed over quickly, clearly and in a format that was ready to use.

All of this was achieved while working closely with the main contractor and airport management, ensuring the highest standards of safety throughout.

🎖️ The Outcome
The surveys were completed smoothly and efficiently, with minimal impact on the day-to-day running of the airport.

By avoiding scaffolding, the client benefited from a faster turnaround and reduced costs, while still getting the precise technical information they needed.

Another great project in a challenging environment completed safely and professionally by our Structures Team! 👏

Schools out? We're in👀

🎉Congratulations to all the pupils & faculty of the schools, colleges & universities across the UK on surviving another academic year!

Whilst many of you are taking a well-earned break, Vertical Access are ready to maintain, repair & refurbish the empty halls and lecture buildings in your absence.

⌛ The summer holiday period is the perfect time for facilities, maintenance & estate managers to act quickly and book structural repair contractors before September soon arrives...

🤔 So, why is the summer break period the perfect time to arrange maintenance & repair services?

✅Working outside of term-time schedules means there are fewer building occupants. This makes projects more time-efficient, whilst reducing your overall costs

✅ Essential works carried out in the summer break will keep disruption levels down during the upcoming academic year for students & staff members

✅ Reduced levels of foot traffic make exclusion zones easier to monitor & manage, enhancing public protection by lowering the risk of accidental and unauthorised on-site entry

🎖️ We have award-winning, well-experienced teams available to provide a range of structural remediation services to universities and schools across the North of England.

Contact us today to discuss your options with one of our facilities management experts.

Recent Project: WiFi Installation
📍 Location: Etihad Stadium

➡️ Project Overview
Over the past two weeks, Vertical Access has supported Electro UK in the installation of 85 new WiFi antennas at the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City FC. This forms part of the club’s wider stadium redevelopment project, which includes a significant upgrade to their WiFi system.

⚠️ The Challenge
With the ongoing construction of the new stand, the stadium site saw an increase in foot traffic and heavy plant movement. Our teams were required to work carefully and strategically to minimise disruption to other on-site operations.

🔎 Our Response
Our rope access operatives worked flexibly alongside multiple third-party contractors, adapting to design changes and shifting scopes while maintaining the project timeline. We maintained close communication with both Electro UK and stadium representatives to ensure a smooth project outcome.

🎖️ The Outcome
The antenna installation was completed on time and to specification, with zero issues and all parties were satisfied with the result.

Great job, team!

Emergency Call-Out?
No Problem.

Last night, we were called out to an urgent situation in a busy city centre high street where a dislodged glass panel was looming over a high footfall retail area.

In these scenarios, speed and safety are everything. Had the team waited on traditional access methods like scaffolding or MEWPs, the risk to the public could have quickly escalated.

➡️ Enter rope access.
Our rapid response team was on-site, up the building, and resolving the issue before sunrise. The panel was safely located, removed, and replaced with zero disruption to the public or surrounding property.

This is exactly where rope access shows its value:
✅ Rapid mobilisation
✅ Minimal disruption
✅ Safe resolution in hard-to-reach areas

👏 Huge thanks to our night shift heroes who took it all in stride and did a smashing job (pun absolutely intended).

Need urgent assistance? We offer rapid response rope access solutions for emergency situations. Fast, safe, and with minimal disruption.
