ARABAC

Aerial Abseil Access (NZ) Limited
Established 1989

The amber and black overalls worn by Arabac's personnel say it all. Arabac (Aerial Abseil Access (NZ) Limited) is proudly parochial and uses every opportunity to promote the resources and technical capabilities available in Taranaki.

Although undertaking contracts nation wide & internationally, the industrial Abseiling Company operates predominantly in the region. "We have been operating in Taranaki for twelve years and have built up a solid clientele network in that time," says owner David S. McLay. Key clients include: Shell Todd Oil Services, Transfield Worley, Fletchers, Swift, Fonterra and Natural Gas Corporation to name a few.

Our catch phrase "Accessing the Future Together".

Arabac's advanced abseiling techniques are used in situations where other forms of access are impracticable. "Rope access is also an unobtrusive form of access with no negative impact on the environment," adds David. While the majority of their contracts involve industry blasting and painting, inspections and fitter/welding, to name a few. Arabac also offers an array of other trade skills access based through a network alliance with other local specialist companies.

Arabac is a founding member of the Industrial Rope Access Association of New Zealand (IRAANZ) and carries OSH compliance. The award-winning company is also a leader in Height Safety Solutions committed to delivering professional training and consultancy through practical solutions enabling industry to manage their own safety and skills to work at height.
