Anti Slip Stair Nosing

 Here is an example of new anti slip we installed to a flight of concrete stairs in a factory. The existing rubber strips which had been attached using contact adhesive were lifting and creating more of a hazard than they were preventing. all existing rubber strips were removed and replaced with safety yellow fiberglass strips coated with an aggressive anti slip media.

Paving and Drainage

 Here are photos of a job we completed where waterproofing installed by the original builder had failed and existing drainage installed by the builder was very inadequate and failing. To complete this repair we undertook the following work.

  • Lifted concrete pavers over the concrete slab where waterproofing below had failed.
  • Lifted pavers laid on clay which had sunken.
  • Removed lucky stones which had been placed over clay allowing weeds to grow through.
  • Waterproofed the exposed slab.
  • Removed inadequate storm water pits and excavated fo lager one piece pits.
  • Installed larger storm water pits and grates.
  • Formed up then mixed and poured concrete slabs where pavers and stones had been placed on clay.
  • Relaid pavers over new slabs and filled surround with higher quality stones salvaged from elsewhere on the same job.
  • Re-laid concrete pavers over correctly waterproofed existing slab and rebating larger galvanised steel grates into the relaid pavers.
  • All clay and other waste not required was removed from site.

Solar Inverter Enclosure

 Installers had located a solar inverter and ABS switch boxes externally to a steel shed and the inverter and switch boxes were being affected by UV. We constructed this steel enclosure with a lockable steel door using the same sheeting profile and colour as the steel shed and steel privacy fencing rails and posts creating a protected and lockable enclosure for the inverter and switching.
