OVERVIEW

High-Rise Telecom Installation with Rope Access

Telecom infrastructure is only as good as its installation. For Vodacom’s 5G rollout, new antennas had to be mounted securely on a high-rise structure in Johannesburg. Traditional scaffolding or cranes would have slowed the project and driven up costs. Rope access provided a faster, safer, and more controlled way to reach the installation points without disruption to operations or the surrounding area.

REDUCING RISK

Antenna Installation and Testing

Every high-access project begins with rigging and safety checks. Our technicians used permanent anchor points and IWH-compliant systems to secure access. Each harness, rope, and line was checked before work began. By choosing rope access, Vodacom ensured the project was done with zero disruption to the building’s daily functions, and full compliance with safety regulations.

PROFESSIONAL PROCESS

Step 2: Antenna Installation

The team installed the new 5G Vodacom antennas, ensuring proper placement and security according to required standards.

OPTIMAL COVERAGE

Antenna Installation and Testing
