High-rise
Engineered facade and rooftop access systems for commercial, residential and mixed-use high-rise buildings, designed alongside architects, head contractors and building owners.
Engineered height access for commercial, residential and mixed-use high-rise buildings
High-rise buildings present some of the most complex height access requirements in commercial property: occupied tenancies, restricted street-level staging, architecturally driven facades, and lifecycle maintenance demands that span decades.
We design and supply facade access, rope access and rooftop plant systems for new-build and operational high-rise assets, working alongside architects, head contractors and building owners. Every system is engineered to AS 1657 and AS 1891, with AS/NZS 5532 applied to anchor devices used in rope access. Full design documentation is supplied for handover and ongoing compliance audits.
Facade maintenance designed into the building
Rigid rails, davits and rope access needles integrated into the building envelope provide safe, repeatable access for window cleaning, glazing replacement and facade maintenance. Specified during design, systems sit within the architectural intent rather than as a visible add-on.
Lift motor rooms and rooftop plant
Lift overrun spaces, motor rooms and rooftop plant areas are often confined and difficult to access. Our modular systems are delivered piece by piece, installed without onsite welding or hot works, and can be modified in situ as plant configurations change over the building’s life.
Architecturally driven facades
Where building geometry is non-standard, we engineer to the design rather than the standard catalogue. Powder-coated finishes, soffit-mounted rigid rails and concealed davit bases allow access systems to be integrated without compromising the architectural intent.

Height safety and access for high-rise buildings
Three system types cover the access scenarios that come up across commercial, residential and mixed-use high-rise developments.
)
Rigid railsRigid rail systems engineered to AS 1891, providing continuous attachment for rope access teams working on facade cleaning, glazing replacement and maintenance. Soffit-mounted and powder-coated finishes available where visual impact matters.
)
Rope access davitsDavits engineered to AS/NZS 5532, enabling safe rope access from parapets and curtain walls for maintenance, inspection and emergency response. Bases can be permanently installed or used with portable systems depending on facade design.
)
Rope access needlesHeavy-duty rope access needles for window cleaning and maintenance over parapets and curtain walls. Engineered to handle multiple users and heavy equipment loads where conventional davits are not suitable.

Case study
Quay Quarter Tower, Sydney, NSW
Quay Quarter Tower is one of Australia’s most distinctive recent high-rise developments. The stepped, sculpted facade resists conventional facade access approaches and required a rope access system that could maintain the building without compromising the architecture.
Facade Safety Systems
Rigid rails integrated into the building soffit, enabling rope access for window cleaning and facade maintenance while remaining almost invisible from street level. The slimline rail profile preserves the architectural design intent.
