Do you have a facade that’s either ageing and not repelling water like it used to, or a new facade requiring a protective coating which will extend the life and functionality of the facade?
Our team of specialist industrial rope access personnel are able to apply coatings which make use of the latest technology to your facade and assist to give your building the kind of longevity which your investment demands.
Facade maintenance is an inevitable need for any building. Protecting the facade using a water resistant coating or other type of coating is one way of reducing the amount of maintenance which will need to be done long term.

Whether you’ve got a tiled roof, a colourbond or trimdeck roof, or a concrete slab roof area, there are anchor points that are suitable to many applications and will serve different purposes.
Roof anchors provide personnel with an engineered solution to protect them in the event of a fall. Roof anchors can not be installed by just anybody. Height safety technicians are trained and knowledgeable in all facets of roof anchor and other fall arrest and prevention device installation and use.
Roof anchors must be inspected & certified on installation and also every 12 months to remain in use.

When working at heights, the safety of personnel is paramount.
Ensuring that height safety systems, components and techniques are in place, is the responsibility of all people involved in carrying out work at heights. When planning a job where there is a risk of a fall, you must correctly identify the height safety needs of the project and ensure that they are implemented in accordance with all relevant legislative requirements.
Height safety technical services require providing up to date and relevant information to contractors, building owners and managers. Our team of technicians are able to implement height safety systems for you which comply to the Australian standards and workcover guidelines.

Managing the risks associated with working at heights requires a thorough and competent knowledge of fall arrest and fall prevention equipment, as well as the legislative requirements surrounding these types of works.
Fall arrest anchor points are mandatory where personnel are working in an area with exposure to a fall risk. They must be manufactured and certified to the relevant Australian standards and provide access to roof areas in compliance with workcover requirements.
Working at heights carries a high risk of falls, injuries and even deaths. Don’t risk your life or the life of other personnel by working at height without a fall arrest and fall prevention system in place.

Anchor points, no matter what type, need to be inspected on an annual basis in order to remain certified under Australian standards requirements.
Personnel should not use anchor points where there is no evidence of testing, inspection & certification taking place within the previous 12 month period. Anchors should be tagged and all relevant information should be clearly visible to the operator. There should be a certification document or statement of compliance, dated within the previous 12 month period and located at the entry point to the roof area. An induction and operator manual should be available to use in the planning of undertaking works via an anchor point system.
Personnel, whether employees or contractors, should seek this information and any other relevant information relating to the use of any height safety and roof access system before they conduct a JSA and go through risk assessment and safe work method statement development.
Anchor point testing saves lives and are governed by strict requirements. Make sure your anchor points are tested and certified before allowing a contractor or personnel to use them.
Personnel are also required to have completed training in safe work at heights and have achieved a practical and theoretical level of competency in the use of ancillary equipment and height safety systems.

When looking at how to ensure that your premises has adequate and cost effective access for general and specific maintenance purposes, anchor points are not only a way to comply with standards & practices as mandated by legislation, but also a means to set up facade and roof access so that future works can be done by abseiling professionals.
This will cut costs in a significant way in the long run, as for most jobs, you’ll never need scaffolding or elevated work platforms again. Rope access operators can carry out works with limited interruption and cost.
Investing in an access system for your roof area or other area at height is a critical element of maximising the potential of your maintenance budget by eliminating expensive access requirements and enabling rope access and working safely at heights.

Concrete repair on a large building facade can be a simple or complex process, depending on how you go about accessing the area where work needs to take place.
Some building maintenance companies will try to convince you to scaffold the entire facade just to get to one small area of the facade needing maintenance, turning what is a relatively simple and inexpensive repair, into a monumental exercise with massive costs.
Using industrial rope access techniques, professional abseilers can safely and efficiently carry out repairs to your facade with minimal fuss. Our team of rope access concrete repair technicians, can assist you to undertake repairs easily and with minimal interruption to tenancy and the public.
