Why hire the East River Rigging team?

East River Rigging was formed with two things in mind: recognizing the market for a rope access and rigging company designed from the ground up to work in and with the City of New York; and using the power of technology in the work place.

New York City presents a number of unique challenges to working at height. East River Rigging has been designed from the ground up to meet the specific requirements of the Department of Buildings and other NYC agencies. We are legally able to work where similar companies are not. By utilizing state-of-the-art hardware and software, we have eliminated potential record keeping errors while maximizing efficiency and productivity.

What does this mean for you?  First, you are assured that your work will be conducted within the constraints of NYC-DOB.  Observing all safety and permitting requirements means no stoppages, fines or holdups. Second, complying with the many safety and permitting requirements of the DOB requires specific paperwork and record keeping on a daily basis. This documentation process has traditionally been very time-consuming, making it difficult to maintain compliance.

Utilizing an industry-unique bar code-based asset-tracking system, we have shortened equipment inspection time lines while increasing accuracy. East River Rigging is one of the only companies capable of complying fully with many current OSHA and NYC-DOB requirements. Project management is facilitated by software from the first contact to completion of a project. Schedules, man hours, material cost and phased billing are all integrated, maintaining seamless workflow and documentation. This forward-thinking turnkey approach to the business of work at height results in a significant increase in efficiency and productivity in every project that East River Rigging undertakes from day 1 to day 364.
