Hello,

How are you? Have you had a good week?

Today id like to share some images of a job on Blackpool Tower.

The above image on the left is obviously not one of mine, but wanted to show how things have changed, and thank god that they have.

The guys in the past had little or no working at height protection.

These days we use advanced techniques such as rope access, to access these hard to reach places safely.

Arrived to site early and so I walked the long way there. Was surprised to see early morning council worker cleaning the front.

Sophisticated control gear, power the lighting on the Tower, helps it to change colour and be programmable.
