Skala is North America's leading provider of work-at-height training, equipment and services. Since 1994, Skala has been known for its pioneering use of industrial rope access techniques and its professional and fun-loving team. The Skala team helps its customers inspect and maintain vital public infrastructure particularly in the wind energy, hydropower and transportation fields.
In the process of redefining how to work at height, Skala is joining fellow B Corps to leverage the power of business to affect positive change in the world.
Skala rope access teams provide expedient and cost-effective service because they don't rely upon lifts or cranes to complete most work. Skala technicians don't need to wait for additional resources to begin working. The work is completed efficiently and economically minimizing downtime of the asset. Skala technicians have been engaged in rope access work since 1994 and wind energy services since 2003 - building experience with nearly every major utility-scale wind turbine manufacturer in the world.
