RCD Linear Ropes Course
Typical Cost: £23,000 - £30,000 plus optional extras
Description
This ropes course really does provide unbeatable value for money. It is possible to have up to 10 High Ropes elements on only two main structural poles!
General Specifications
- Conforms to EN:12572 for artificial climbing structures
- Meets the requirements of EN:15567 for Ropes Courses
- Includes independent inaugural inspection
- Designed to address the Working at Height Legislation. This includes, amongst other things, the new RCD tracking system and vertical life lines
- Poles protrude 13 metres above the ground. Heights of elements vary between 9.5 metres and 12 metres, Main supporting beam is at 12.5 metres. Higher or lower structures possible
- Operational ground area required is approximately 17 metres x 10 metres. Four guy cables (these are not a structural but stability requirement only) extend beyond the operational area
- Designed to minimise the need for maintenance in every respect
- Has a lifetime guarantee on workmanship
- Designed to be used by as many as 3 groups of 12 people simultaneously
- Steel finish can be painted or galvanised. The latter is recommended in most circumstances as this will generally provide 15 - 20 years protection
- Designed to prohibit unauthorised access for the first three metres when the ropes course is not in use
- Poles can be mounted above the ground to maximise longevity. New EU regulations pertaining to timber treatment have reduced the effectiveness of the preservation process. The new pole mounting method, adopted by RCD, is expected to provide over 20 years life expectancy under normal circumstances.
- Tested ground anchors included
- Safety signs included
- Can accommodate the new POWERFAN® designed and tested in accordance with relevant parts of BS: EN: 341 1992 and conforms to EN:15567 for Ropes Courses
- Can accommodate an RCD Zip Wire and abseil platform
- Option for complete ground covering (pea gravel to 150mm minimum with geo-textile membrane and appropriate retainers). This is necessary both from an aesthetic perspective and to ensure operational efficiency.
