Stadium Support Services is proud to announce the launch of VertiCulture, a new division dedicated to providing rope access solutions for the maintenance of living walls.
Living walls bring green spaces to stadiums and office buildings while promoting biodiversity. Traditional maintenance methods have historically relied on diesel-powered platforms, contributing to increased carbon emissions. VertiCulture changes this by offering a greener approach through the use of rope access, reducing environmental impact.
Our IRATA-certified technicians, who are also trained horticulturists, use rope access to reach even the most challenging living wall areas. This allows us to deliver comprehensive maintenance solutions without the limitations of heavy machinery.
“Living walls are gaining momentum in the UK, and we’re committed to maintaining them in an environmentally friendly way. Our approach, combining expert horticultural care with rope access, ensures these ecosystems thrive while keeping disruption and costs low,” said Daniel Scott, Head of VertiCulture.
