Built by climbers, for the duty holder
Inspection and compliance for climbing walls, to BS EN 12572.
Get in touchBuilt by climbers, written for the duty holder
Your climbing wall is your responsibility, and a certificate is only worth anything if its conclusions follow from what was actually found. Bluco Projects inspects, categorises and signs off climbing structures against the standard they were built to — so the person carrying the liability knows exactly what was checked, what was found, and what needs doing. We started as climbers and rope access technicians, and that grounding still shapes how we inspect. The system we've built just makes it consistent, traceable and easy to hand over.
Every visit is assessed against the same three-tier framework used across the industry — routine visual, operational, and main — so what gets checked matches what is actually due, not a generic once-over.
Every finding is scored 1–5 against a fixed action timescale — so you can see at a glance what is urgent, what is monitored, and by when it must be resolved.
Every report is reviewed and signed off against the standard it was assessed against, and issued promptly after the visit — not written up later from memory.
Method
This level of detail isn't a template — it's how the work is actually done. Every protection point is mapped to its exact position and referenced individually. Every finding is tied to the specific component it belongs to, and to the clause it's assessed against — so a defect points to one location and one requirement, not a general walk-round.
Anchors, bolts and top protection points are plotted against the wall's own bay layout, so a finding points to one exact location, not “somewhere on panel 3.”
The structure and the harnesses, helmets and belay devices are inspected together, on the same visit — one appointment, one report.
Every checklist item references the standard clause it's assessed against, so what's recorded traces back to the requirement it satisfies.
