Transport for NSW engaged our team to carry out lead paint removal on the Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of a major refurbishment program. Many of the bridge’s existing coatings dated back decades and contained lead, which had to be safely removed to protect both the structure and public health.
The project required work in extremely tight, poorly ventilated areas, making access and safety paramount. Our team developed a detailed methodology for the removal process, incorporating specialist blasting techniques and stringent containment measures to prevent environmental contamination.
Equally critical was our rescue planning — working in such hazardous conditions demands a robust emergency response procedure. By identifying potential risks and establishing effective controls before work commenced, we ensured the safety of all personnel throughout the project’s 13-month duration. This combination of technical skill, hazard management, and access expertise underscores why Specialist Height Access is trusted for some of Sydney’s most complex maintenance projects.
