Rope Access in High-Rise Facade Repair
In high-rise facade repair, Rope Access provides a safe, efficient and minimally disruptive alternative to traditional methods like scaffolding. Technicians use specialised abseiling techniques to reach hard-to-access areas quickly, reducing costs and downtime. Anchor Safe Rope Access stands out as a leading solution service backed by Australia’s leading height safety company, with a focus on service, communication and client value at every stage.
Step 1: Initial Contact
Upon reaching out to Anchor Safe Rope Access, a dedicated project manager will be assigned to guide you throughout the entire process. We pride ourselves in being a market leader in providing updated and constant communication before starting, during the process and on completion of the project. You will have a dedicated point of contact for any questions or concerns. We provide regular updates on the project’s progress and are available to address your inquiries.
Step 2: On-Site Meeting
The Project Manager will arrange an on-site meeting with key stakeholders to discuss the project requirements, clearly identifying areas to be included and those to be excluded. This step ensures cost efficiency and sets clear targets for our team to achieve to ensure you get the results you’re looking for.
Step 3: Site Appraisal
The Project Manager coordinates with our Design and Estimating Manager to conduct a thorough site appraisal. This involves taking measurements and a photographic survey of the property.
During the Site Appraisal, we inspect any defects, test the substrate when possible, and take necessary measures to provide a comprehensive estimate of the works.
Step 4: Quotation
Anchor Safe Rope Access will provide a detailed quote, which includes:
– Compliance with all Australian Safety Environment and Quality Standards.
– Scope of Works.
– Items/areas included, and items/areas excluded.
– Photographic survey of the project site showing any defects and areas of work.
– Product specification and description.
– Colours, profiles and finishes.
The Project Manager and Design and Estimating Manager will present the quote in person, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the proposed works and providing an opportunity for you to ask any questions. If further information is needed, adjustments will be made and a revised document presented.
Step 5: Project Commencement
Upon project approval, the Project Manager liaises with our Operations Manager and Design and Estimating Manager to align on client expectations, special needs, and any site restrictions.
A meeting is arranged with the client, Project Manager, Operations Manager, and Design and Estimating Manager to provide a clear overview of the project’s execution, ensuring alignment with the client’s timeframe and expectations.
The client is provided the contact details of the Project Manager, Operations Manager and Design and Estimating Manager and we welcome any inquiries or questions at any time throughout the project execution.
Step 6: Safety and Quality Assurance
Safety is in Anchor Safe Rope Access’ DNA. Before any facade remedial repair work begins, a Risk Assessment and Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) are completed. Comprehensive insurance is in place and all products comply with strict Australian Standards. Our technicians are trained and certified specialists.
A full product specification including Product Data Sheets and manufacturer warranties is issued to our clients on receipt of work being awarded to Anchor Safe Rope Access.
Step 7: Project Execution
The execution phase of high-rise facade repair is carried out systematically to ensure safety, quality, and minimal disruption. Anchor Safe Rope Access follows a clear process through each critical stage.
Repairs and Remedial Work
Specialists address facade defects such as cracks, corrosion, water ingress and concrete spalling to restore structural integrity before restoration progresses. All remedial works are completed via rope access and delivered to trade-quality standards.
Surface Preparation
Surfaces are cleaned, tested, and primed to create a reliable base for coatings. Substrate testing ensures compatibility and durability, supporting long-lasting results. This step is critical for facade refurbishment and defect rectification, following both manufacturer specifications and Australian Standards.
Coatings and Finishes
High-quality, compliant coatings including protective coatings, membranes, and weatherproofing products like UV-resistant finishes are applied to restore and protect the facade. These systems ensure long-term resilience against harsh Australian conditions.
Daily Site Management
At the end of each day, ropes, safety barriers, and waste are removed, leaving the site clear and safe. This tidy and efficient approach minimises disruption to residents and businesses compared to bulky scaffolding systems.
Step 8: Project Completion and Review
Once the project is complete, the Project Manager and Operations Manager meet with the client on-site to review all works and confirm expectations have been met. After your approval, the project is officially closed.
All equipment, waste and packaging are responsibly removed from the site. In partnership with Paintback Australia, Anchor Safe Rope Access ensures paint containers and unwanted paint are recycled, supporting environmental sustainability.
