Our training facility is approximately 2,500 square feet with a guyed tower, self supporter and monopole. We also have examples of boom and mounts, torque arms and anchor heads. Our training program uses more information than just what is sold off the shelf, we incorporate safety, client standards, fall-protection and our in-house certified Rescue Training program. We test our climbers to ensure understanding and then test again in the field to ensure continued performance.
