INTERNATIONAL VERTICAL ACCESS NETWORK
The new project for the SPECIALIZED RESCUE ASSOCIATION is to create new experimental initiatives, like utilizing a helicopter anchoring/rigging system simulator for non-profit air rescue training in urban environment.
The International Vertical Access Network (I.V.A.N.) is a non-profitable and non-formal network of pears with interest rope access and rescue initiatives with a broad range of applications. One of them is the experimental project for creating a new academical program for rope access technicians, who can achieve a Bachelor’s degree in vertical and aerial rope access work. That is why we are building the Institute for Vertical Access operatioNs, under the same abbreviation (I.V.A.N.). During this process, we will use our 11-storey crane as a vertical and aerial platform for specialized technical and confined space rescue training.
I.V.A.N. endorses new disruptive volunteer rescue models, with a particular focus on the ongoing (r)evolution for this sector. We support in early stage concepts of ideas, where our expertise and experience can leverage our sponsorship to help realize the full growth potential of new initiatives for vertical/aerial rope rescue. We assist volunteers in the following areas:
TRAINING

OUR FOCUS IS INNOVATION
The STUDIO for VISUAL and AUDIO COMMUNICATIONS (I.V.A.N.) for volunteers, wil visualize the innovative projects for the vertical and aerial world of rescue.
Specialized Training with our New Aerial Rescue Methodology
High elevation of open and confined space training will prepare volunteers and professional firefighters better for high angle and high-risk rescues
ER and EMS can make a special simulations to run some “real-world” scenarios at our hard to reach places. Ivan Kristoff offered up his #BuxtonHeights and Mountain SkyView project for the training.
