STAGE 01 // CONTAINMENT
Traffic Ingress Isolation
Immediate freeze of pedestrian boardwalk promenades and vehicle lane access at Manhattan and Brooklyn anchorages to isolate perimeter vibrations and spectator hazard.
STAGE 02 // ACCESS RIGGING
ESU High-Angle Ascender Deployment
Deployment of specialized twin-line ascender gear from Gothic tower saddle decks down along the 15.75-inch galvanized wire cables, establishing primary top-down control.
STAGE 03 // ARREST SYSTEM
Suspender Cable Rigging
Application of friction brake knots (Prusik lines) and vertical suspender clamps to arrest lateral translation along the parabolic sag curve.
STAGE 04 // TACTICAL SECURE
Tethered Containment Perimeter
Establishment of standoff distance, non-lethal de-escalation corridors, and twin tether anchors adhering to OSHA/NFPA 1670 high-angle rescue standards.
