Our Award Winning Projects
Sugar Australia
- Difficult Access Project of the Year
- Difficult Access Commercial
- Industrial Finishes
Located close to the marine environment, the challenge was to prepare and recoat the metal housing without stopping production. Difficult access was achieved with an EWP, the surface abrasive blasted, then recoated. Environmental responsibility was a priority, with waste systematically removed from the site, all containers recycled and an exemplary record of zero safety incidents reported throughout the entire process.
Opalia Apartments – Little Bay
- Difficult Access Residential (Multi-Unit)
- Exceptional High Preparatory Works Residential
Multi-storey luxury apartments located 700m from the ocean, effected by water ingress caused by no waterproofing to the flat concrete roof. Anchor Safe Rope Access completed roof waterproofing, removal and replacement of delaminating render and expansion joints, sealed window/door frames and under balustrade post covers to fortify the structure against water infiltration. Post-completion, the facade received meticulous preparation, cleaning, and a coating of the Dulux Acratex AcraSkin coating system.
Finalist Recognition
Cobia Apartments – Little Bay
- Exceptional High Preparatory Works
- Texture Coatings
A photographic facade inspection was undertaken by Anchor Safe Rope Access to provide a detailed assessment of the amount and necessary work required. Remedial works included the removal and replacement of over 875 square metres of render, 1,042 lineal metres of expansion joints, and sealant to window/door frames to provide a watertight substrate. Once the remedial works were completed, the facade was coated with Dulux Acratex AcraSkin in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
The Astor
- Finalist Awarded to Anchor Safe Rope Access for Heritage and Restoration
- Highly Commended Awarded to Anchor Safe Rope Access for Iconic Building and Structures
The Astor recently celebrated its 100 year anniversary and needed urgent restoration to the original metal framed windows and steel structure located in the western lightwell.

The area was difficult to access and required inventive methods in Industrial Rope Access to position the tradespersons into location.
