LA LÍNEA VERTICAL shares knowledge and experience at a workshop on working at height organised by BP Energía in Germany

LA LÍNEA VERTICAL, as a company specialising in work at height and difficult access using the most advanced rope positioning techniques, has been one of the companies selected by BP Energía to participate in the workshop on work at height held at the company’s facilities in Germany.

This was a workshop aimed at colleagues from BP Energía in Holland in which LA LÍNEA VERTICAL, with the participation of our BP Gelsenkirchen work coordinator, Amancio Catalán, and our international work manager, Vanessa Escoí, shared their knowledge and experience in carrying out work at height in refineries and other energy plants, emphasising the results and improvements applied in the refinery that BP Energía has in Gelsenkirchen (Germany). Furthermore, LA LÍNEA VERTICAL discussed with other companies and with the client, with participants from BP Gelsenkirchen and BP Rotterdam, the great advantages of working at height using rope positioning, highlighting this technique as opposed to others such as scaffolding.

LA LÍNEA VERTICAL has highly trained personnel, capable of carrying out END and advanced END work at height, such as Phased Array, volumetric UT in metal and welding and support for other techniques at height, such as X-Ray and Long Range UT among others; as well as the dismantling-repositioning of calorifuging in the areas to be inspected, without the need for scaffolding or calorifuging companies in 99% of the work at height. With this, LA LÍNEA VERTICAL has been providing greater flexibility to its clients for three years, being able to carry out all the work necessary for access, preparation and execution of inspections on its own. This leads to a reduction in work and waiting times, as there is no need to coordinate several companies (scaffolding company, lagging company and non-destructive testing company), which ultimately leads to a reduction in costs for the client.

LA LÍNEA VERTICAL had a high participation in the work at height workshop held in Germany, and we would like to thank BP Gelsenkirchen for trusting our company to share our knowledge and experience.

It should be noted that in 2023, LA LÍNEA VERTICAL expanded its business with BP Energía in Germany, carrying out work for the plant located in Gelsenkirchen and participating in the technical shutdown of the BP Lingen plant.
