Fall Protection, Access & Testing Services

A turnkey solution from conception to commissioning. Design, fabrication, installation, inspection, and a full in-house NDT lab — all from our Metro Vancouver shop.

Custom Fall Protection Design

Engineered systems for unique structures where off-the-shelf products fail. Our designers work in SolidWorks to model your site, simulate loading conditions, verify factors of safety, and produce sealed shop and as-built drawings — ensuring 100% tie-off and full ANSI Z359, CSA Z259, and OSHA 1910 compliance for complex geometries.

Industrial Ladders & Access Platforms

Custom ships ladders, retracting ladders, vertical fixed ladders with cages, mezzanines, and mechanical-room access — always built to fit even the most difficult locations. Code-compliant by design, and dimensioned to your site using our in-house 3D measuring capabilities for a perfect first-fit installation.

Annual Anchor & Fall Protection Inspections

Independent third-party annual inspection and recertification of installed roof anchors, davit arms, lifelines, ladders, and guardrails — to the cycle and standard required by ANSI Z359.2 (managed fall protection program), CSA Z259, and OSHA 1910.140 / 1926.502. Findings are delivered as stamped engineered reports with photo documentation and corrective-action recommendations.

NDT, Weld and Destructive Testing

Complete in-house non-destructive, destructive, and weld-inspection capability — covering everything from a single shop-floor weld qualification to full structural verification on installed steel. All work performed by qualified personnel and reported under engineered seal where required.

Visual Testing (VT) — coded to AWS D1.1 / CSA W59
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) for surface and near-surface flaws
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT / dye penetrant) for surface flaws
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) for internal weld and material flaws
Ultrasonic thickness testing for corrosion and material degradation
Hardness testing for HAZ and material verification
Destructive testing — tensile, bend, macro-etch, nick-break and Charpy impact
Welder and weld procedure qualification (WPS / PQR) to CSA W47.1 / W59 / AWS D1.1
Pull-tests on fall protection anchorages and structural connections
Concrete strength testing, scanning and rebar layout
Engineered NDT reports stamped where required
