Rope installation with work at height

Installation work on suspended ropes is often required for the installation of our architectural projects. Our fitters are specially trained to work at height on ropes. With this service, we support our customers in the realization of construction projects.

Initial situation and concept:

The central building of the St. Josef Foundation in Bremgarten (AG) is being fitted with impressive vertical greenery. Climbing plants will grow along vertical climbing ropes from both above and below, creating interesting green structures.

Jakob Rope Systems was commissioned to manufacture and install the climbing structures in the fall of 2024. Our fitters Stefan and Nico were on hand to install the ropes and tension rod systems. Both are trained specialists for working at height on suspended ropes.
