When the Site Is Beyond Conventional Reach

Some Kansas sites sit in steep canyons or behind terrain that eliminates conventional access. Along corridors like I-70, US-73, and Missouri River bluffs, dakota sandstone and niobrara chalk create conditions where the only options are Spider Excavators and rope-access crews.

Difficult Access Drilling in Kansas

Access Limited highly skilled team is trained for rope-access drilling and Spider Excavator deployment, reaching places across Kansas where conventional drill rigs cannot go. Whether the site is on a steep cliff along I-70, US-73, and Missouri River bluffs or in a remote canyon, Access Limited brings the equipment and expertise.

Spider Excavator Deployment

Spider Excavators walk from staging areas through the terrain to the work face — no road construction required. On slopes exceeding 60 degrees, these machines drill, excavate, and position materials where no conventional equipment can operate.

Rope-Access Drilling

When even a Spider Excavator cannot reach the face, rope-access certified crews drill from rope. Vertical rock faces, overhanging terrain, and cliff edges are accessible to these specialty-trained technicians.

Remote Location Drilling

Some Kansas sites are hours from the nearest staging point. Access Limited deploys self-sufficient crews through the terrain itself for multi-day operations.

Purpose-Built Drill Rigs

Access Limited operates drill rigs fabricated specifically for the confined and steep conditions that Kansas terrain demands.

Difficult access drilling supports rockfall mitigation, slope stabilization, shoring, and ground improvement across Kansas.

How Access Limited Reaches Remote Sites

Difficult access projects require a different approach from the first step.

Step 1

Access Route Evaluation

Engineers assess terrain between staging and the work face to plan the approach.

Step 2

Equipment Selection

Spider Excavators, rope-access crews, or purpose-built rigs selected for the access challenge.

Step 3

Terrain Deployment

Equipment traverses the terrain directly to the work face.

Step 4

Project Execution

Drilling, excavation, and installation proceed with self-sufficient crews on the remote face.

Demobilization

Completed work verified and equipment demobilized through the same terrain corridor.

Rockfall Mitigation in Virginia

I wish I had been smart enough to let you design the rock mitigation. You and your team turned in an excellent performance. The work ethic of your team impressed everyone on our side of the table. Most companies print a slogan on their company clothing. However, your folks demonstrated every hour that they “Work Hard or Go Home”. You sent us a world class construction team – thanks!

Rockfall Mitigation and Removal in Wyoming

Richard, I wanted to take a quick minute and thank you and Courtney and the awesome crew that you sent here to take care of our huge rock. Courtney, John, and Andrew are some of the hardest working people I have had the privilege to be around. Their attention to safety professionalism, and never quit attitude was amazing to watch. Even when things did not go our way they were committed to finishing the job. I appreciate you sending these great guys to help us out and look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future.

Emergency Rockfall Mitigation for Mining Operations

I recently interacted with some of your rockfall division guys. I have never seen an outfit as competent on safety measures nor any contractors who worked as hard as your guys do. During the work, I was in a room with your guys and some other contractors, and your guys were head and shoulders above the rest in all aspects.
