In-situ silo welding
Coded welding repairs to a live storage silo shell, completed via rope access with no dismantling and no crane.
Welding · FabricationQLDHigh-rise render & concrete repair
Concrete cancer and render remediation across a coastal residential tower. Residents kept balcony access throughout.
RemedialSunshine CoastFaçade leak investigation & repair
Years of intermittent ingress traced to failed sealant joints, repaired from rope in two site days.
Leak detection · RepairBrisbaneOffshore crane boom inspection & repair
Hydraulic leak on a platform crane boom, inspected and repaired at height without demobilising the crane. Access rigged from the boom structure.
Marine inspection · NDTOffshoreRope access electrical & lighting
LED flood and high-bay fittings installed and electrical repairs carried out at height, without scaffold or a plant shutdown.
Electrical · Rope accessQLDSpring hanger & pipe support maintenance
Spring hangers set high in the plant structure where no platform reaches, accessed on rope for inspection and correct adjustment — pipe clamps and supports checked and tightened on the same descent.
Mechanical · Rope accessPower stationWelding & steel repairs at height
Welding repairs to plant steelwork carried out in place on rope, with fume extraction and fire watch, rather than cutting the section out and sending it to a workshop.
Welding · Rope accessQLDMonorail rigging & silo section lifts
A three-tonne monorail taken off the crane onto chain blocks, then manoeuvred into position and bolted up by the rope access team. Twin monorails, each running an electric winch, lifted the silo sections into place from there.

Structural crack injection and render reinstatement across a commercial façade, no scaffold hire.

Failed balcony membranes traced by moisture mapping, then stripped and re-waterproofed under QBCC licence with warranty.

The problem
A corrosion management program required wall-thickness readings across an elevated process pipe rack. Conventional access meant scaffold design, erection and dismantling around live plant — roughly two weeks before a single reading.
What we did
An IRATA-supervised crew rigged from the rack structure and completed the UTT survey at every designated test location, with corrosion mapping on the worst-affected spools. Readings were logged against the client's asset register and issued the following business day.
The outcome
Full survey delivered in two shifts with no shutdown and no scaffold. Two spools flagged below minimum allowable thickness and scheduled for replacement in the next outage.
