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 height safety and access systems for new-build and operational data centres in collaboration with designers, head contractors and facility teams. Every system is engineered to AS 1657, with installation methodologies developed to suit live-facility constraints.
We know the challenges you face:
Minimal footprint on valuable floorspace
Data centre real estate is at a premium. Our suspended and elevated access systems are designed to maximise plant access without compromising white space or rack density.
Safe access to rooftop HVAC and plant
HVAC systems, condensers and rooftop plant require frequent maintenance access. Our walkways, crossovers and stair systems provide compliant access while maintaining roof membrane integrity.
Installs without disrupting uptime
Aluminium construction, no hot works installation and onsite adjustability via our proprietary T-Bolt mean systems can be installed and modified in live facilities without affecting operations.

Height safety and access for data centres
Three system types cover the access scenarios that come up 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.
)
External facade accessRigid rail systems support rope access for facade maintenance. Powder-coated finishes blend with building aesthetics where visual impact matters.
