1.800.706.0064 Home About Course Designs Projects Program Services Blog Contact OUR DEVOTION TO QUALITY CRAFTMANSHIP AND DESIGN IS SECOND TO NONE Focused engineering, high quality materials, incredible designs, and first-class carpentry are at the foundation of every installation. This means you can count on Alpine Towers to produce an environment that’s built to last, simple to maintain, and designed to inspire a sense of possibility in every individual who comes in contact with your facility. Since 1989 and over 1200 facilities later, Alpine Towers is a quality choice for your trusted partner. Alpine Towers uses several engineering firms to perform design evaluations. As necessary, engineered plans and drawings are provided to help secure building permits or a special use permit. All designs meet and/or exceed specifications established by the Association for Challenge Course Technology and the Climbing Wall Association. Our construction teams attend internal trainings every year to ensure the highest building standards and adherence to best industry practices. ESTABLISHED DESIGNS We create structures with specific criteria in use, look, and function, then work to improve and refine them through feedback from facilitators that are using them every day. The result is highly successful courses that organizations have confidence in selecting. READ MORE CUSTOM DESIGN/BUILD Often times, our customers approach us with an idea of what they envision for their facility, and we work closely with them to understand programming needs, capacity and budget for creating a custom design that matches their vision. We truly appreciate this process and have the experience to deliver something truly unique as a showcase for the organizations we serve. READ MORE WE CREATE ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE DESIGNED WITH USER SAFETY AS OUR TOP PRIORITY Alpine Towers’ designs use a variety of systems for safeguarding participants. The Alpine Tower series was specifically created to use a dynamic belay system referred to as a “top-rope belay system”. A belay rope is tied directly to the participant’s harness. The participant remains on belay until back safely on the ground. Several other designs use this same system, including the Carolina Climbing Wall Series. Other designs use a static system, which is created by attaching a participant into an overhead safety cable via safety lanyards. As participants move horizontally through the course, they sequentially reconnect their tethers to new overhead safety cables. Modern technology allows for participants to make these transfers in a way that they cannot accidentally disconnect themselves from the safety system. Some ATI courses use a combination of both the dynamic and static system. ALPINE TOWER The Alpine Tower creates the ideal setting for fostering team-building, improving communication, and developing self-esteem.
