Mariner's Reach, Teneriffe
A full external repaint on 171 apartments.
MARINER'S REACH, NEWSTEAD
FULL EXTERNAL REPAINT AND PAINTING REPAIRS TO ICONIC WATERFRONT APARTMENT COMPLEX IN BRISBANE
THE PROPERTY
Mariner’s Reach is a 171 luxury apartment complex located right on the Brisbane riverwalk, where thousands of pedestrians and cyclists can access the city from New Farm and Howard Smith Wharves. These top dollar apartments were first built in 1998 and it was time to tick some large maintenance boxes to restore its beauty.
The painting access plan included abseiling to all buildings due to varying elevations of the building.
SCOPE OF WORKS
Leisuretex was contracted to the perform the following works on all 4 buildings within the apartment complex:
FULL WASHDOWN & EXTERNAL REPAINT
CONCRETE RENDER & SPALDING REPAIRS
CAULKING/SEALANT TO BALCONIES
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Accessing all 18 storeys of the 2 tower complex called for time and resource management to ensure the project could be completed effectively while ensuring the safety of residents and visitors on-site as well the height access workers.
Areas around the pool, main entrance and garden walkway had water ingress problems that couldn’t be left any longer. A podium refurbishment required a plan that would provide a long term solution, minimise disruption, update the old for new, and allow residents of the building to use these popular spaces soon again.
Keeping the site clean and tidy and the regular removal of debris was important for everyone’s safety. We needed a positive approach that would be systematic and easier for our workers to implement while working on the multi-storey buildings.
THE SOLUTION
To help oversee the project from start to finish, we had a site supervisor and site manager to assist the nominated project managers being Dec Con Pty Ltd.
A range of access equipment were decided on which involved – rope access, platform ladders and mobile scaffolds. These would also assist in control disruption to a minimum for residents.
A high water pressure clean was performed on the complex, including its roofs.
Chemical injection into concrete structures was done to help eliminate water ingress and bring back its structural integrity.
