The assessment of rock face stability and the execution of appropriate remedial measures are often hampered by constraints in data collection and equipment access. Traditional access systems such as scaffolding and hydraulic platforms are restrictive, incurr time delays and are costly. In most instances it is possible to overcome these constraints by the application of rope and cable access systems. This paper describes how the use of these access systems has increased the quality and scope of rock face inspection and has improved the cost effectiveness of rock face remedial works.
