Clients Speak
"Vertical Access, with their documentation software stood head and shoulders above the numerous proposals we had reviewed. As they were working in a nearly inaccessible location, a loose, hazardous condition was discovered. VA had the capacity to review the problem, and perform a design / build stabilization on the spot. The finished product of their report was detailed enough to facilitate a thorough design and minimal change orders in the construction phase."

Construction Project Manager
Boston College

"The Vertical Access crew climbed and inspected each structure, [Princeton University: Cleveland Tower, Holder Tower, University Chapel, Firestone Library], with the aid of still and video photography. Their inspection was thorough and detailed.

In addition to observing and documenting conditions, they removed and lowered to the ground small unstable stone units. Particularly impressive was their attention to safety, both for the climbers and for people on the ground.

At the conclusion of each survey, Vertical Access produced highly professional documentation, including drawings documenting conditions encountered with the still photos keyed to these drawings.

We are eager to work with Vertical Access again should the opportunity arise, and would recommend them enthusiastically for other projects."
