Moving swiftly on....

Building climbing walls is not all that we do here in Sabah and we are often asked about that. What does a rope access company do?
Traditionally rope access company's are heavily involved in construction, deconstruction and maintenance or inspection. Big buildings, dirty overalls oggling passing women.
Not Ropeskills though, its far too hot to be out in the sun in the city when there are so many interesting jobs to be found.
For example; at the moment we are building Borneo's best canopy walk on the island of Gaya at the brand new 5-star Bunga Raya Resort.
An ambitious project to build a canopy walk that doesn't require much exertion from guests, so no ladders to climb or big steps. It also needs to be big and stable enough for couples to stroll along at sunset or sunrise to enjoy the forest and beach view without struggling to hold on the whole way.
Sabah only has a couple of canopy walks that have a deck more than a foot or so wide, one at Borneo Rainforest Lodge and the other at Maliau Basin. Curiously both constructed by the legendary Philipinno, Emiliano.
Once this stage is completed we will be adding to the facilities by building six ziplines into the surrounding forest for the more adventurous guests, we will keep you posted....
