About Us

Responding to a need for highly specialized inspections in extreme locations, Kent Diebolt founded Vertical Access in 1992, pioneering the use of industrial rope access in the United States.

Vertical Access has since worked on hundreds of structures, historically significant buildings and landmarks throughout the United States ranging from Independence Hall in Philadelphia to the Chrysler Building in New York City, and from the 19th century wooden Hanging Flume structure in Colorado to the Arthur Ravenel Bridge, a cable-stay bridge in South Carolina.

Through our work with scores of different clients we have developed a flexible, customizable, and collaborative approach to each of our projects and take great pride in this keystone characteristic of our firm.
