OBSTACLES SHOULDN'T STOP YOU

Challenge courses, climbing towers, zip lines, and giant swings are critical tools for promoting group and personal development (and just plain old scream-inducing fun) and we know how important they are to your programming. As the challenge course industry matures, so has the standard of care and tools and resources available to manage risk. What may have been acceptable design and operation practices only a few years ago are being replaced with better strategies and equipment more specifically designed for the job. All these rapid changes in standards, regulations, design, equipment, and practices can be hard to keep up with. Challenge Towers is your trusted partner who can help make sense of these changes and make sure you have the resources to stay ahead of the curve.

Maintenance and Repairs

Keeping up with regular maintenance not only extends the life of your facility, it’s a key component to a well rounded risk management plan. While many items can be addressed in-house, improvements and modifications to critical components and substantial structural changes should always be completed under the supervision of a qualified vendor. Challenge Towers has decades experience maintaining a wide range of challenge courses, climbing towers, zip lines, and giant swings. No matter who built it, Challenge Towers can fix it.

ACCT Accredited Inspections

Annual accredited inspections provide critical and independent feedback about the overall condition of facilities and compliance with prevailing standards. Challenge Towers certified inspectors take a thoughtful and hands-on approach in the assessment of critical components and equipment. Each inspection includes a comprehensive review of overall course design and constructions standards in addition to assessing the condition of trees, poles, cables, ropes, hardware and other critical course elements. An organized and timely report is returned outlining the inspector's findings including any required actions necessary to remain compliant with standards.

Training and ACCT Certification

Having a well trained, skilled, and attentive staff are one of the risk managers sharpest tools. In-house only training programs can suffer from the silo effect leading to operations creep where inappropriate practices become normalized over time. Planning for an independent annual training to complement your in-house program keeps your whole staff current with the latest standards, practices, and equipment. You get an objective assessment on your staff capabilities and limitations and insightful observations about your programming and policies. Our trainers or passionate and experienced educators who blend instructional and hands-on learning to deliver personalized trainings and ACCT accredited certifications.
