Rooftop

Rooftop safety at its finest.

My team and I have been providing annual inspections, five & ten-year certifications, and testing of roof tie-back anchors, davits, BMUs, lifelines, and other façade access tieoff structures for over 14 years. Even though we are based out of Minnesota, we’ve enjoyed traveling across the country making sure anchors and davits are safe to use, keeping the workers that use them safe. We’ve seen a lot in our travels over the years and, while most testing and inspection jobs are straightforward, we know what to do if they aren’t because we’ve seen so many unique situations and types of equipment.

In the last 14 years we’ve tested and inspected anchors on almost every type of building. We’re particularly good at managing campuses with multiple buildings, keeping all the records and timelines current (and providing certifications and logbooks) so property management or engineering doesn’t need to. Universities, hospital and corporate campuses, sports stadiums, hotels, office buildings, apartments, tall, short, big or small we’ve been on them all.

I pride myself on taking care of the customer’s needs first starting with a quick reply to a request for quote or a new inquiry. I know that often property managers or building engineers simply can’t always plan far ahead, and we have retained many loyal customers because we make a commitment to meet their timeline whatever that may be. Customers also take comfort knowing that once a building is in our system, we hold copies of all the records and timelines and send reminders to schedule the inspections with plenty of lead time, making sure they are always covered by code requirements and standards.​​​

Give me a call and let me provide a quote for testing, inspections, consulting, design, or installation of façade access tie-offs, anchors, davits, and/or BMUs. Although we are not affiliated with any brand of anchor, davit, or BMU, we test and inspect all brands, including Pro-Bel, Tractel, American Anchor, Spider, and Swingstage. You’ll appreciate our attention to detail, expertise, prompt communication, and responsiveness to your needs be it one building that needs testing or inspection before a scheduled window cleaning or dozens of buildings under one management across states on a multi-year contract.​

"Full-Service Fall Protection"

Lorne Wikstrom of Wikstrom Engineering Consulting was an invaluable resource providing fall protection solutions for an older mid-rise building I manage in Midtown Phoenix. The asset lacked a complete system allowing us to paint the exterior. Lorne evaluated our current system, identified our needs, and collaborated with a manufacturer to create the additional anchors. He also provided oversite for the installation of the new system to ensure everything was installed properly. The project, from design to install, was completed in a very short time, with no issues. He will return in March to do our annual certifications. I highly recommend Wikstrom Engineering Consulting for your fall protection needs.
