I am level 1 rope access irata technician. I am working in London uk abseiling building in my orange suit.
The building is 70 meters tall.
The repair is a standard splice procedure to make sure the expansion joint is in the right place - otherwise bricks pop off when the building wobbles.
An expansion joint allows the building to naturally wiggle and not crumble . However this building was poor constructed so we will have to repair every single incorrect expansion joint.
I am using a Pretzl harness, descender, back up ASAP.
This is a look at what it’s like to do rope access in London.

Love the content! Can't believe the amount of work that is required just to move an expansion joint. By the looks of it, the expansion joint was 10cm too low? Or was the initial gap in the steel channel for something else?

This kind of work isn’t really a thing where I come from unless you work on trees

no barrier below was giving me the fear, ik you weren't directly over foot path dw lol, much different safety regs to oil and gas industry I'm used to. great and interesting work on the ropes though, cool to see how these buildings are made.
