At HI-RISE, we provide end-to-end design, fabrication and installation of innovative height safety, fall protection, facade access and suspended access solutions — ensuring safe and efficient access for operators working at height.
Our work is driven by ongoing research and development, with a focus on delivering better, safer and more cost-effective solutions for every project.
Our services include:
Working alongside architects, builders and developers, our engineers develop innovative and compliant solutions that enhance, rather than compromise building design and functionality.
Consulting with clients, HI-RISE’s specialist engineers advise and supply specialised systems and equipment for fall protection and restraint, at all times maintaining adherence to Australian Standards and Codes of Practice to ensure safety of workers.
When designing the appropriate solution, considerations include the type, location and frequency of access required for ongoing inspections and maintenance; the number of people who will be performing maintenance work; risk assessments; hazard identification and compliance with relevant Codes, Standards and industry Regulations.
HI-RISE offers expert consultation services for new high-rise building constructions. Our project design consultation ensures that all aspects of facade access are integrated from the initial design phase, avoiding costly retrofits and future compliance issues.
Our specialist engineering team provides comprehensive guidance and support to architects, designers and developers, ensuring full compliance with Australian Standards and Codes of Practice.
We tailor custom fall protection, height safety, facade access and suspended access solutions to meet the unique needs of each roof or facade. We deliver solutions that protect workers at height, ensure safe access and improve your building’s design and functionality without sacrificing its aesthetic or practical integrity
Our design team utilise 3D CAD Modelling to design compliant height safety systems, allowing them to address each roof and structure’s unique requirements and challenges.
HI-RISE’s engineering capability allows us to design in accordance with the standard, without being limited to off-the-shelf products. Clients benefit from unlimited design choices while remaining compliant with regulations. Based on the access requirements and design parameters, any number of systems may be incorporated, including:
Providing detailed, customised models before commissioning and construction allows clients to visualise the project and finalise designs to ensure the best possible outcome.
These modelled drawings enable clients to accurately understand the systems to be used, access points, load calculations and how the design integrates with the overall project to accommodate the specific needs of each site.
Following the design stage, whether it is walkways, handrails, staircases, hoists, RoofJockey™, or platforms, we custom-fabricate the componentry required for each project from our workshop in Melbourne.
We use locally sourced materials and observe all environmental regulations in regard to the management and disposal of wastes and materials.
Finishing can be completed using various methods, from galvanised solutions through to powder-coating and anodising, to provide the best corrosion protection and colour-matching.
With a full complement of insurances, our technicians specialise in safe work at heights and ensure that all height safety and facade access systems are installed as intended and in strict accordance with Australian Standards and regulations.
Our technicians adhere to comprehensive safe work at height protocols to minimise the risk of injury and are trained in working at height.
Our installation team hold a full suite of competencies, including Safe Work at Height, First Aid and Elevated Work Platform (EWP) use, allowing them to carry out installation work efficiently and effectively.
In accordance with AS/NZS 1891 and AS 1567, which calls for periodic inspection of height safety systems including PPE, we offer routine inspections, testing and recertification services for our own systems as well as those installed by other companies.
We can test all types of installed height safety systems on all types of roofs, including:
All inspected systems are permanently labeled with the testing date and logged in our detailed testing database. Each client receives a comprehensive annual report, ensuring full transparency and compliance.
Our Site Safety Audit service provides a thorough inspection of your site to identify all risks and implement appropriate measures to minimise the risk of falls from height.
Additionally, we assess any existing height safety and fall protection systems to ensure they are operating correctly and comply with AS 1657 and AS/NZS 1891 standards.
