Rope access & difficult access
Certified technicians working faces too steep, too high or too soft for machines.
What it does
Some faces cannot take an excavator or a platform. Our certified rope access technicians rig from engineered anchor points and carry out drilling, scaling, meshing and planting directly on the face. It is often the fastest and lowest-impact way to work steep terrain: no benching, no scaffold, no heavy plant on unstable ground.
Methodology
How the work runs
Every stage is matched to the engineer’s design and the conditions found on the face.
- 01
Access plan
The face, hazards and anchor options are assessed, and a rigging and rescue plan is set before anyone goes over the edge.
- 02
Rigging
Technicians rig working lines from engineered anchor points, with an independent backup line on every system.
- 03
Works on rope
Scaling, drilling, meshing, anchor installation or planting is carried out directly on the face.
- 04
Inspection and demobilisation
Completed work is checked, gear is stripped, and the site is left clear with nothing tracked over the slope.

Questions
Common questions
Is rope access safe for working on steep sites?+
Absolutely. Our rope access technicians are fully certified and trained to carry out high-access geotechnical work safely and efficiently. It's often the best method for working on steep or inaccessible terrain without heavy machinery.
What types of ground stability services do you provide?+
Geo Mana delivers slope stabilisation, slip repair, soil nails, ground anchors, rock bolts, mesh and facing systems, difficult access, retaining remediation, drainage, erosion control, field testing, condition assessment and planned slope maintenance. The right combination depends on the ground, design and access.
What areas of New Zealand do you operate in?+
Geo Mana is based in West Auckland and mobilises across New Zealand. Commercial and specialist crews can deploy nationally; residential work is assessed by scope, access and location.
