Essentials Services
Lifeline Inspection Services
If your building has a horizontal or vertical lifeline system for window cleaning, facade maintenance, or rope access work, it needs to be inspected at least once every 12 months by a competent person, and re-certified at set intervals as the system ages. We inspect, load-test, and certify lifeline systems so your building stays compliant and safe for whoever uses the line next, including our own team.

PE endorsement of the completed inspection.
Handover of the certification record for your compliance files or BCA/MCST submission.
Bird Control
Pigeons and other pest birds damage ledges, block drains, and leave droppings that corrode metal and stain facades over time. We supply and install bird deterrent systems using our rope access team, which means ledges, signboards, and rooflines that would normally need a cherry picker or scaffold can be treated directly.
Bird Control Methods We Install
|
Method |
Best For |
|
Bird Netting |
Full exclusion of balconies, courtyards, rooftops, and open service areas |
|
Bird Spikes |
Ledges, parapets, signboards, and window sills where birds land and roost |
|
Anti-Perching Wire |
Discreet deterrence on architecturally sensitive or heritage-facing facades |
Our Bird Control Process
Site assessment to identify nesting points, roosting spots, and the scale of the issue.
Recommendation of the right method or combination for the property type and area.
Installation via rope access for ledges and rooflines that are otherwise hard to reach.
Clean-up of existing droppings and nesting debris where required.
Follow-up check to confirm the deterrent is holding and no gaps remain.
Steel Structure Work
Exposed steel, support beams, canopy frames, signage structures, and external staircases corrode and weaken faster in Singapore’s climate than most owners expect. We handle steel structure inspection, repair, and reinforcement, working via rope access where the steelwork sits at height, with PE sign-off for any structural repair.
What’s Included
Structural Inspection
Close-range inspection of steel beams, columns, and connections for corrosion, cracking, or deformation.
Corrosion Treatment
Rust removal, surface preparation, and re-coating to stop corrosion from progressing.
Repair & Reinforcement
Weld repairs and reinforcement of compromised structural steel sections.
PE Certification
Structural sign-off on completed repairs, supporting BCA or insurance documentation.
Our Steel Structure Process
Site inspection of the steel structure and its current condition.
Assessment report identifying corrosion, damage, or load concerns.
Repair plan covering surface treatment, welding, or section replacement as needed.
Repair works carried out via rope access or conventional access, depending on location.
PE inspection and sign-off of completed structural work.
Handover of the certified report for your records or regulatory submission.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a lifeline system need to be inspected in Singapore?
At minimum, once every 12 months by a competent person, with re-certification required at longer intervals as the system ages. We track your due dates and issue a PE-endorsed report after every inspection.
Are your bird control methods humane and NEA-compliant?
Yes. We use netting, spikes, and anti-perching wire that follow NEA and AVS guidelines, targeting only recognised pest bird species without harming them.
Do you provide PE certification for steel structure repairs?
Yes. Any structural repair or reinforcement work is signed off with a PE-stamped report, which you can use for BCA submission or insurance documentation.
Can lifeline inspection and steel repairs be done without scaffolding?
In most cases, yes. Our IRATA-trained rope access team can inspect and repair anchors, lifelines, and steelwork at height directly, without the cost and time of erecting a scaffold.
Do you serve HDB, MCST, commercial, and industrial properties?
Yes. We take on Essentials work across residential (HDB, condo, landed), MCST-managed developments, commercial buildings, and industrial sites.
What do I receive after an inspection or repair job?
A written report covering what was inspected or repaired, any components tagged for follow-up, and a PE-stamped certificate where structural sign-off applies, kept on file for your next compliance check.
