North Sydney Council engaged our team to refurbish the Lavender Bay Wharf after significant timber deterioration, peeling paint, and general wear had compromised its appearance and condition. Traditional scaffolding was deemed impractical for the over-water location, so our technicians used rope access and creative rigging to reach all required areas safely.
The works included sanding and repairing timber, replacing damaged screws, applying primer and topcoat paint, painting the corrugated metal roof, and cleaning the glass panels. A paint analysis revealed that lead was present in the existing coatings, requiring the use of specialist tools with integrated vacuum systems to capture debris during sanding. This ensured no contaminants entered the bay, meeting environmental protection requirements.
Our methodology prioritised safety, precision, and environmental responsibility, combining skilled rope access techniques with detailed preparation and hazard control measures. The result was a restored wharf that met council’s expectations while safeguarding the marine environment.
