Who We Are & What We Do

     

We are 'North America's Leading Rope Access Service Company'.

RAT provides a flexible, cost-effective alternative to scaffolding for industries with difficult to reach locations. Our multi-disciplined technicians use Industrial Rope Access methods to safely reach areas of concern and perform the work at hand, Inspection, Maintenance, Non-Destructive Testing, and more.

Rope Access OfffshoreRemote Access Technology (RAT) was formed in response to the need for a safe, cost effective method of reaching the under-decks of offshore oil platforms. RAT adopted and refined early Industrial Rope Access techniques, as they were being applied in the UK and brought them to North America. The majority of our business in the United States continues to be generated by the oil and gas industry where we have over 18 years experience providing NDE and maintenance services. We perform continuing work for such companies as ConocoPhillips, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Valero and Shell Oil.

 

Remote Access Technology generates realized cost savings in part by eliminating scaffolding and reducing the total project time. In addition, we improve communication and reduce headaches by providing a single contact to both access the site and perform the work at hand. Remote Access Technology has continued to adapt services and apply rope access techniques not only to oil platforms and petrol-chemical refineries, but also to hydroelectric plants, bridges, shipping, amusement parks, construction and more. Our innovative approach to access and expertise in new inspection technologies has made RAT the leading provider of Industrial Rope Access services for the United States.
