FAQ's
What is high rise glass replacement and why is it needed?
High rise glass replacement involves removing damaged, cracked, broken or unsafe glass panels from tall buildings and installing new glazing. It is needed to maintain building safety, structural integrity, weather protection and appearance. Replacing faulty glass also improves energy efficiency, reduces risk to occupants and the public and ensures compliance with building safety standards.
What types of glass replacement services are offered for high rise buildings?
High rise glass replacement services include replacing broken windows, cracked façade glass, failed double glazing, damaged curtain wall panels, faulty seals, leaking glass panels, balustrade glass, skylight glass and façade glazing repairs. Services also include inspection, removal, supply, installation, sealing and finishing to ensure the building façade remains safe, functional and visually appealing.
How does high rise glass replacement work using rope access methods?
Rope access glass replacement allows certified technicians to safely position themselves on high-rise façades using specialised rope systems and anchor points. Glass is carefully removed, transported and replaced using controlled lifting devices and secure handling equipment. This method is highly efficient, cost-effective and precise, enabling technicians to access difficult areas without scaffolding or machinery.
What safety standards apply to high rise glass replacement in Sydney?
High rise glass replacement in Sydney must comply with Australian height safety regulations, glazing standards, rope access industry guidelines and workplace health and safety laws. Strict risk assessments, rescue planning, certified equipment and safe work procedures are followed throughout the project. These standards ensure safe installation, reduced risk and full compliance for building owners and managers.
What qualifications do technicians need for high rise glass replacement?
Technicians performing high rise glass replacement must hold recognised rope access certifications like IRATA or SPRAT, along with height safety training and glazing trade qualifications. They must be trained in safe glass handling, rigging, rescue readiness and working at heights. This combination of rope access expertise and glazing skill ensures safe and professional installation.
How long does a typical high rise glass replacement project take?
The duration of a high rise glass replacement project depends on the glass size, location, access difficulty, weather conditions and planning requirements. Many replacements can be completed within a day, while more complex glazing works may take several days. Rope access generally speeds up the process with faster setup and minimal site disruption.
What factors affect the cost of high rise glass replacement services?
Costs depend on the type of glass, building height, access difficulty, panel size, labour requirements, equipment needs, safety planning and installation complexity. Additional factors include transport logistics, glazing specifications and repair scope. Rope access is often more cost-effective than scaffolding or cranes because it reduces setup time, labour and overall project expenses.
Can rope access glass replacement be done without scaffolding or lifts?
Yes, rope access allows high rise glass replacement to be completed safely without scaffolding, cranes or heavy machinery in most cases. Certified rope access technicians can reach difficult glass panels directly using secure rope systems. This reduces setup time, costs and disruption while ensuring precise, efficient and professional glass replacement on tall and complex structures.
How do technicians ensure safety and prevent damage during glass replacement?
Trained technicians follow strict safety procedures, use certified rope systems, secure lifting equipment and advanced handling techniques to protect both workers and the building façade. Protective measures prevent falling debris, while controlled removal and installation minimise glass stress and structural impact. Every project includes risk assessments, rescue plans and compliance with height safety and glazing standards.
