Data centres
Engineered height safety and access for hyperscale, colocation and edge data centre facilities, with minimal impact on critical infrastructure and operational uptime.
Compliant height access for mission-critical data centre infrastructure
Data centre facilities house some of Australia’s most critical digital infrastructure. Access systems need to support reliable maintenance of rooftop plant, HVAC and facade systems without compromising operational uptime, fire compartmentation or facility security.
We design compliant height safety and access systems for new-build and operational data centres, working with designers, head contractors and facility teams from specification through to installation. Our pre-engineered aluminium systems are configured to suit each project and installed without hot works, reducing site complexity and disruption.
Designed around data centre constraints:
Maximise space and protect roof membranes
Suspended and elevated systems provide safe access around plant and services without compromising valuable floor space or roof membrane integrity.
Safe access to rooftop HVAC and plant
Modular walkways, crossovers and stair systems provide compliant maintenance access around condensers, pipework and rooftop plant.
Faster installation with less disruption
Lightweight aluminium systems can be pre-assembled for reduced hook time and installed without hot works. T-Bolt connections allow adjustments on site as plant layouts change.

Height safety and access for data centres
Explore three system types used across new-build and operational data centres.
)
Suspended walkwaysModular access systems mounted to roof purlins or concrete, providing safe access above plant and white space with no impact on floorspace below.
)
Crossovers and step bridgesAdjustable crossovers for access over pipework, conduits, condensers and plant. Indoor and outdoor configurations, with onsite adjustability to suit each installation.
)
Facade maintenance accessRigid rail systems support rope access for facade maintenance. Powder-coated finishes blend with building aesthetics where visual impact matters.

Case study
CDC BK2 Data Centre, Brooklyn VIC
CDC BK2 is part of CDC’s expanding Brooklyn campus in Melbourne. Kattsafe supplied a complete access and fall protection package for the facility’s rooftop plant, generators and cooling infrastructure.
Project Scale & Specs
Part of a broader data centre campus planned to deliver more than 350 MW of capacity.
Height Safety Systems
Aluminium walkways, guardrails, fall arrest anchors and static lines provide compliant access around rooftop plant and roof edges.
Plant Access Infrastructure
Modular aluminium stairs and elevated platforms provide safe access to generators and cooling equipment, with rapid assembly and onsite adjustability.
