Building Maintenance

New Zealand’s intense light and extreme weather conditions mean protecting buildings and other structures is an ongoing effort that requires skill and expertise. Abseil Access provides a comprehensive building maintenance package to maintain and repair buildings, water reservoirs, subdivisions, airports, tunnels, and dams.

As the building sector is diverse, our team will analyse each situation individually and construct a package tailored to the client’s needs. This ensures that clients get high-quality results without the high-end price tag.

Project Examples

Lighthouse Paint & Blast

Abseil Access Ltd was contracted to remediate a 110-year-old, 16-meter high, cast iron lighthouse in Kahurangi National Park. The site was challenging, with no onsite water, power, accommodation, communication, or road access. This meant establishing the site required transporting 16 tons of equipment by helicopter. The project required the removal and containment of the original lead-based paint. The bare cast iron was then garnet blasted to SA2 before applying six coats of Resene epoxy paint. The eight-person team completed the project within the designated seven weeks.

Cape Foulwind Cement Plant

Abseil Access Ltd was contracted to inspect the four cement storage silos, three chimneys and five water storage silos using rope access and specialist access systems. The chimneys are 50m, and the silos are up to 40m high. Spall sites were marked, measured, and recorded. Serious concrete deterioration at the top of two chimneys resulted in removing 15m of concrete and brick lining. This required installing a temporary upper platform, scaffold and crane lifting operations. The inspection of cement and water storage silos was followed with a full repair programme for all spall sites.
