Learn how careful planning ensures safety and successful repairs.","content":"<p>This online talk, organized by RIBA South Conservation Group, delves into the practical and technical challenges of working at height and utilizing rope access in building conservation. James Preston will share his extensive experience in inspecting, stabilising, and repairing historic structures, demonstrating how specialist access methods can facilitate conservation work in areas difficult or unsafe to reach with conventional equipment. The session will cover the selection of rope access, scaffolding, mobile platforms, and other working-at-height systems for various conservation projects.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion will include a case study of the emergency response at St Thomas\u2019 Church in Wells, where rope access techniques were crucial in stabilizing a storm-damaged spire. Attendees will learn about the types of inspection and repair feasible from ropes, alongside practical limitations, planning requirements, and circumstances warranting alternative access arrangements. The talk emphasizes risk assessment, rescue planning, communication, equipment, site constraints, and health and safety responsibilities. This session offers practical insights directly applicable to your design practice, particularly for conservation architects and heritage professionals.<\/p>","website":"https:\/\/www.riba.org\/whats-on\/riba-south-conservation-working-at-height-and-rope-access\/","dates":"16 September 2026, 13:00","location":"Online event","cost":"Free","date_order":"20260916","banner":false,"banner_back":"","region":"europe","country":"albania","event_type":"Conferences & Summits","event_source":"","event_status":"","batch_id":"","show_until":"","subscription_only_content":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/62180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beedier.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-categories?post=62180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
