Due to the height and shape of the main platform shed at St. Pancras Station it presented engineers with a major problem when considering how the roof membrane and ancillary walkways etc.

'On-line' Chimney Repairs

Repairs were required urgently at the top of a concrete process stack. Unfortunately the stack couldn’t be taken offline thus preventing operatives from working at the top due to obnoxious and hot gasses.

Radcliffe Camera, whose dome gathers the surrounding spires and towers together like a hen and her chicks, was built in 1737-1749 from the munificence of Dr. John Radcliffe.

Rope & Cradle Access

Rope access techniques have been used extensively in industry since the mid 1980's. During this type of work safety must be the prime consideration and nothing is ever left to chance. Access is achieved with appropriate equipment and a 100% redundant back up system.

Horizon can carry out rope & cradle access services to many different structures from high rise buildings to water towers, from chimneys to structural steel works.

If you have a structure you would like surveyed, Horizon have IRATA & Advanced Steeplejack trained and experienced operatives who can do the job.
