The Façade Access Rail System enabled One Vision’s abseilers to safely slide along the rail(s) rather than relocating and dropping ropes every 2 – 3 metres. Since installation, the abseilers have gained easier and faster access to the building façade for ongoing maintenance, repairs and painting. > > — Brian, Secretary, Strata Plan 262, Cronulla ## Jade Apartments, Surfers Paradise **Case study** · Surfers Paradise · 2011–12 · https://onevisionprojects.com.au/projects/jade-apartments Beachfront tower: pressure washing, painting of all external surfaces, balustrade resealing and concrete repairs, all by rope access. - Location: Surfers Paradise, QLD - Years: 2011–2012 - Building: Beachfront tower - Access: Rope access Services: Painting, Remediation, Rope access ### The problem A beachfront tower exposed to salt and sun, due for a full external repaint and repairs, with every surface at height. ### How we accessed it The whole job was done by rope access, from pressure washing through to the final coat, with no scaffold on the building. ### The result All external surfaces repainted, glass balustrade joints resealed and concrete repaired, delivered interstate by our own team. ### Scope of works - **Pressure washing** (Cleaning) - **Painting of all external surfaces** (Painting) - **Resealing glass balustrade joints** (Remediation) - **Concrete repairs** (Remediation) - **Caulking** (Remediation) ## Brooklyn, Cornwallis St, Redfern **Case study** · Redfern · 2016–2026 · https://onevisionprojects.com.au/projects/brooklyn-redfern Access systems, leak investigations, balcony rebuilds, new gutters and flashings, and a cleaned, repointed and sealed brick facade. - Address: 31–41 Cornwallis St, Redfern - Years: 2016–2026, ongoing - Building: Brick residential strata - Access: Rope access, own anchor system Services: Remediation, Waterproofing, Roofing, Rope access, Cleaning ### The problem A brick strata with recurring leaks through windows, balconies and gutters, and a facade that needed cleaning, repointing and protection. ### How we accessed it We installed the building’s access systems in 2016 and recertify the anchors, so every repair since has started from a certified, fast rope set-up. ### The result Leaks traced unit by unit and fixed, balconies waterproofed and rebuilt, new gutters and flashings, and the external brick facade cleaned, repointed and sealed in February 2026. ### Scope of works - **Installation of access systems** (Height safety, 2016): Roof anchors and access systems designed and installed for ongoing rope access work. - **Leak investigation and water testing** (Waterproofing, June 2024 – July 2025): Water testing around windows, balconies, stairwells and gutters to trace leaks into apartments, then targeted repairs. - **Balcony waterproofing and rebuilds** (Waterproofing, September 2024 – 2026): Balcony waterproofing, remediation and full balcony upgrades. - **Gutters and flashings** (Roofing, May 2025 – February 2026): Gutter system investigation, new gutters on one block and flashing replacement. - **External brick facade cleaning, repointing and protective coating** (Remediation, February – March 2026): Cleaned the brick facade, repointed failed joints and applied a protective coating, by rope access. - **Roof pressure washing** (Cleaning, March 2026): Pressure washing of the roof. - **Anchor recertification** (Height safety, October 2024 · February 2026): Inspection, load testing and recertification of the anchor system. ## Across Sydney and beyond. - Bridgeview, Kirribilli - 55 Pyrmont Bridge Rd, Pyrmont - Peninsula, Manly - Gateway, Maroubra - Metro Hotel, Pitt St - Peninsula Tower, Milsons Point - 330 Wattle St, Ultimo - Sheraton on the Park, Sydney - Durham Village, Surry Hills - Selsdon, Potts Point - 350 Kent St, Sydney - Peejays, Sydney - Guide Dogs, Chatswood - Bay Apartments, Elizabeth Bay - Kimberley, Cremorne - Bariston Ave, Cremorne - Glenavy, Cronulla - Satellite Dishes, Sydney - Wolseley, Lindfield Source: https://onevisionprojects.com.au/projects
