Riggers are responsible for the assembly and disassembly of structures, pipelines, and mechanical equipment, as well as the placement and securement of loads. They can work closely with crane operators or can work as a team of riggers within an enclosed work area with no crane access. They ensure that all lifting operations are properly planned and carried out in a safe and controlled manner whilst adhering to UK Legislation, such as the LOLER Regulations 1998.
The team at Hightech Industrial Access have been providing Rigging & Lifting Services to a multitude of sectors going back as far as 2007, sectors we have worked in include, Construction Sites, Shipyards, Petrochemical Sites, Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms, along with various warehouses within the Private and Public Sectors.

Furthermore, no matter if it is a small domestic job or a large-scale industrial project, we will ensure to provide a team promptly at a competitive rate.
Steel Erecting is the assembly of a steel structure, you will often find most warehouses, units, multi-story car parks, football stadiums, petrochemical sites or oil rigs require some form of steel erecting service when building the structure. Henceforth as the structures previously mentioned are usually of an imposing scale in size, steel frame Erection, or Module Erection (on platforms and vessels) can be a complex process, that requires the team to be fully capable of following detailed construction drawings and plot plans whilst erecting the structure. With addition to having to read complex drawings the team will also need to understand the build sequence to erect the structure safely and efficiently, whilst working against challenging environments such as Working at Height. That’s why at Hightech Industrial Access most of our CSCS Gold Card Steel Erectors are also Rope Access Trained & MEWP Trained assuring you that our team will be familiar when dealing with such hazards, allowing the team to be fully focused on the job at hand, rather than being more focused on the working conditions they are surrounded by.
Likewise, because they are also IRATA Rope Access Technicians, if issues do arise were it is not possible or feasible to work from either a MEWP or Scaffold our teams have the skills and knowledge to be fully adaptable to allow them to continue with their intended work scope, allowing you to have a streamlined delivery of your project, such as no downtime. Consequently, if you have a structure that you require erecting, you can count on the experts at Hightech Industrial Access to assemble your structure, in a timely manner whilst also complying with regulations such as the CDM Regulations, LOLER Regulations and WAH Regulations.
In addition to our rigging and lifting services, we also offer supervision of those operations. Any one of our lifting teams will always consist of a Rigging & Lifting Appointed Person who will be on hand to oversee the safe execution of the work, along with being able to provide advice and assistance where required.
Or if you have a team of riggers on site but only require assistance with supervision, we can provide one of our experienced Appointed Persons to oversee your project, acting as either a Rigging Supervisor, LOLER Focal Point, or Appointed Person. This service is particularly beneficial for larger projects, or for those who are not familiar with rigging and lifting operations. Therefore, if you want to ensure the security of your load, and the safety of those carrying out the lift, choose Hightech Industrial Access for rigging and lifting supervision in the U.K.
Under LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) when going to undertake any lifting operation it is detrimental that operation is properly planned, firstly because it is a requirement of Regulation 8 of the LOLER Regs, but also because of how dangerous the Job actually is, generally if things can go wrong there is a high chance that they will, and with no planning or poor planning, things will in most circumstances more than likely go wrong. Therefore, by planning lifting operations it ensures that the lifting operations are carried out safely and within accordance to the law. At Hightech Industrial Access, we have a team of qualified professionals who are fully conversant at planning any lifting operation. We will work with you to assess your needs and develop a tailored plan to allow you to safely deliver the lifting operation on your project. This will ensure that all lifting operations are carried out carefully and in compliance with the law.
As well as LOLER planning, we also offer LOLER consultation services. This involves meeting with you to discuss your project in detail and assess your specific needs. We will then provide you with advice and guidance on the best way to make your project LOLER regulations compliant. This service is particularly beneficial for those who are not familiar with the regulations, or for those who are overseeing an especially large project.
