1. How do you inspect a canopy tour? What do you inspect?
EBL conducts "wrench on" inspections. Everything on the canopy zip line tour is examined: bolts, rope, clamps, utility poles, clamp tension, cable, tree selection, tree health, platforms, welds, policy and procedure manuals, operating practices, risk management plan, and so on. A written report of inspector findings will be issued to the location and kept on file.

2. How many tours has your firm built?
EBL has built out 25 phases of tours over 20 locations since 2002.  We have also consulted for a combined 50 locations.

3. Will your construction methods meet the PRCA Installation Standards?
All EBL courses exceed the voluntary industry minimum guidelines. EBL has established its own set of building practices which have been reviewed and endorsed by structural engineers and call for superior products. Further, EBL contributes to and constructs tours to the installation standards set forth by the Professional Ropes Course Association (PRCA). EBL is an Accredited Vendor with the PRCA.

4. What makes EBL different from other vendors?
EBL has specialized in programming over the years and intends to continue delivering quality tours and programs.  This experience in conjunction with our building expertise platforms us to understand both sides of the business experience.  Further, we own and operate our own tour locations.

EBL promotes a down scaled approach to tour construction projects, starting with the end in mind and working backwards to ensure budgeting for training, gear replacement, inspection, and then construction. This more managed view allows for better integration into other existing programs and less of a strain on the annual budget. This allows us to provide our clients with straight talk and avoid a "hard sale". Actually, we have talked organizations out of building tours because we did not want our name associated with a large scale construction regret.

EBL is driven on quality, not volume.

5. What types of training do you provide that would assist us in our course operation?
All EBL locations receive an in depth training specifically designed for that tour location and course demands.  All guides pass not only a classroom component but also a practical skills test and a mentorship period.
