ROPES COURSE INSPECTIONS AND COURSE RENOVATION
Ropes Course Inspection Services | Challenge Course Inspections | Zip Line Inspecitons
The Association of Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) standards recommend that in addition to daily and periodic inspections completed by the course manager that challenge courses be inspected annually by a qualified challenge course professional. Our professional builders will help ensure the integrity of your course and keep you abreast of changes in the challenge course industry and up to date on standards and leading practices. All of our inspections are conducted "hands-on". Everything on the course and local environment is inspected, including:
|
nearby surroundings |
included structures |
tree health |
Small repairs can often be made on site during the inspection. Tightening wire rope clamps, replacing worn out clamps, backing out bolts, and removing dead branches and other hazards. Inspectors will also check the course for functionality, and on request, may review and assess challenge course program operations. A verbal report on the course will be provided at the time of the inspection. A written report that reviews safety and operating procedures, course policy, covers inspection findings, details larger repairs and upcoming needs for your challenge course, and suggests improvements will be issued shortly after.

Following an inspection, or upon request, our builders will work with you to create a detailed maintenance plan so that you and your program can plan accordingly for the future.
