Rock Scaling & Block Removal

Safe removal of unstable blocks and loose rock to prevent uncontrolled failures.

Scaling is a critical hazard removal method used to dislodge unstable rock before failure. Geovert’s rope access and mechanical scaling teams safely remove blocks using airbags, jacks, and scaling bars. With extensive emergency response experience, we deploy quickly to make high-risk slopes safe, protecting crews, infrastructure, and operations.


Benefits:

  • Removes unstable rock before uncontrolled failure

  • Rope and mechanical scaling for different site needs

  • Proven record in emergency response and disaster recovery
