Oil & Gas / Petrochemical.

Access That Keeps Your Plant Running.

Oil & Gas / Petrochemical

Petrochemical and oil and gas facilities present some of the most complex working at height challenges in industry.

Live process plant, hazardous atmospheres, confined space adjacency and some of the most stringent contractor management regimes in any sector. Think Access has the experience, the accreditations and the operational discipline to work safely and effectively in these environments.

We operate on live sites and planned shutdown programmes, providing rope access for inspection, maintenance, painting, surface treatment, insulation and fireproofing across tanks, vessels, structures, flare stacks and process equipment.

F.A.Q’s

Yes. We have experience working on live sites under PTW frameworks, including hot work permit, confined space adjacent and ATEX zone awareness. Our planning process accounts for live plant constraints from the outset, not as an afterthought.

We hold CHAS accreditation, Constructionline Gold membership and ISO 9001 certification, and can provide full RAMS, COSHH documentation and insurance schedules as required. We’re used to operator pre-qualification processes and are happy to engage early to ensure everything is in order before mobilisation.

Yes. We offer confined space entry capability alongside rope access, including vessel and tank internal inspection and maintenance access with full rescue standby provision. Both services can be delivered as part of a single mobilisation.

Yes. We regularly combine painting and coating, fireproofing, insulation and inspection within a single shutdown programme. Combining trades under one contractor reduces interfaces, simplifies coordination and helps you get more done within a tight outage window.
