Safety is number one! We will not compromise on Safety

Our experience is that our clients think the same way. We like that. It means our values align and we have a shared goal of ensuring every person on our projects returns home safely at the end of every day. Painting at heights in an energised zone is a very high risk activity requiring specialist training and stringent work practices. Our crews are disciplined and highly trained in painting energised circuits. Our work practices and methodologies incorporate safety at every level.

Capable and Trained Energised Tower Painters

We have a well-seasoned team of multidisciplined tower painting/rigging and industrial rope access technicians.

All members are certified in tower rescue, working at heights and high risk work environments. Some of our staff have been painting energised circuits around the world for over 15 years.

All team members, before deemed competent, must undergo an intensive training and certification process. Many of the team are Train the Painter and NACE qualified.

Other training topics include:

  • Site – specific electrical theory and practical knowledge – critical for working at heights on energised structures
  • Equipotential bonding of plant and machinery
  • Mechanical preparation, water blasting and/or wet abrasive blasting steel lattice towers
  • Application of various protective coatings
