When is a lifeline needed?

  • Roof with no anchor points
  • Solar panels or plant on the roof

    We assess the substrate, the routes and who will use the system.

  • Horizontal lifeline

    Stainless steel cable with posts and a tensioner along the roof.

  • Single anchor points

    Fixed points for rope access on the façade or areas with no continuous line.

  • Vertical lifeline

    For fixed ladders and vertical access to the roof.

  • Leak-free fixing

    Chemical or mechanical anchors to suit the substrate, with the waterproofing resealed.

Roof anchors in Ciutat Vella: what we survey first

In 1960s and 70s blocks in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval, air conditioning units and solar panels have been added to the roof over the years with no thought for who maintains them. We propose a line that runs past each unit and anchors near the light-well parapets.

When fitting the line in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera we tension the stainless steel cable with its tensioner and indicator, keep the ends a safe distance from the edge and make sure the route never forces anyone to unclip at corners or changes of level.

On the visit we go up on the roof, explain the proposed route and prepare a detailed written quote. When we finish we clear away offcuts and packaging. We also work in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions

01

Lifeline and anchor installation in Ciutat Vella: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

02

What is the difference between a lifeline and a single anchor?

A lifeline is a continuous cable that lets you move across the roof without unclipping. A single anchor is a fixed point to attach to in one specific spot, as in façade work.

03

Does a lifeline need inspecting after installation?

Yes. Manufacturers call for periodic inspection, usually once a year, and always after a fall. We can take care of those inspections.

04

Can it be fitted on a tiled or metal roof?

Yes. We use posts and fixings designed for each roof type, whether flat, tiled, metal sheet or sandwich panel, and seal every penetration to keep water out.
