Confined Space Rescue Services

Specialist Confined Space & Rope Access Rescue Services

At Igoe Up Ltd, we provide expert confined space and rope access rescue services across Scotland. Our teams operate in the most demanding environments — from tanks and tunnels to shafts and high-risk industrial sites — ensuring safety through certified personnel, detailed planning, and specialist equipment.

Certified Teams, Safe Operations

We combine IRATA-qualified rope access technicians with City & Guilds high-risk confined space training. This ensures every project is completed safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with UK regulations.

Confined Space Entry & Rescue

We deliver fully managed confined space operations, including entry supervision, atmospheric monitoring, and rescue readiness. Our teams are trained and equipped for:

• Entry into low, medium, and high-risk confined spaces
• Continuous gas testing and air quality control
• Use of escape breathing apparatus and full BA sets
• Rescue planning and standby cover for planned works
• Casualty extraction and first-aid response

Typical applications include tanks, silos, culverts, tunnels, manholes, process vessels, power generation facilities, and water treatment plants.

Rope Access Rescue

For vertical or restricted environments, our rope access specialists use advanced rigging and haul systems to enable safe access and efficient rescue. Our capabilities include:

• IRATA Level 1–3 technicians
• Rope-based extraction and stretcher rescue systems
• Anchor installation, tripod/winch setups, and mechanical advantage haul systems
• Seamless coordination with confined space teams

Whether it’s a vertical shaft, high tank, or complex plant room, we ensure safe and controlled rescue procedures.

• Pre-site assessments and risk planning

• 24/7 coverage for planned or emergency works

All operations comply with the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 and site-specific safety plans.
