Inspection and Maintenance

EP offers a comprehensive climbing wall and safety inspection service to keep your facility operating safely and successfully.

The Climbing Wall Association (CWA) recommends an inspection every 2-3 years, or earlier, depending on your climbing wall structure. EP inspectors fall under CWA’s inspector recommendations which include experience in design, engineering, manufacturing or installation of artificial climbing structures and have completed a comprehensive inspection training course. Many insurance companies and risk management programs require annual climbing wall inspections.
