22-storey mixed-use complex opposite Chatswood Station: 117 private strata apartments + 165-room hotel

Scaffold-Free™: PEARS® portable elevators + SkyPod® remedial workstation (project-specific design & certification)
Remedial concrete & render repairs • Waterproof façade coating • Full repaint
≈ AUD $150,000 vs. full-height scaffolding
Safe execution of heavy demolition elements at heights and debris management.
A busy corner site directly opposite the railway station, constant pedestrian traffic
and hotel operations made traditional scaffolding a non-starter. After 17+ years
without major façade works, the building had widespread concrete spalling,
deteriorated render, and failing coatings—while the Owners Committee needed zero
business disruption, tight safety controls and a predictable program.
We designed and certified a project-specific SkyPod® remedial workstation and deployed PEARS® to service every elevation without blocking footpaths, entries or views.
Using our Sky-FIMMS™ mapping and deep quality inspections, CPR completed 3,000+ individual defect repairs, including concrete spalling treatment and render reinstatement.
Applied an ARDEX waterproof membrane across all exterior walls to lock out moisture and extend façade life.
Director-led supervision, staged work zones and clear resident/hotel communications minimised inconvenience and kept the station precinct moving.
≈ $150k Access Saving by eliminating full-height scaffold hire, erection and dismantle.
On Time & On Budget – delivery for the head contractor and Owners Committee.
Minimal Disruption to residents, guests and the high-foot-traffic rail frontage.
Safety Assured heavy demolition and remedial tasks executed in a controlled,engineered setup.
Longevity Secured with a waterproofed envelope and documented QA for warranty and AssetCare™ maintenance.
“All works—including heavy demolition—were executed in a safe, organised and efficient
manner. CPR’s scaffold-free process with Portable Elevators and SkyPod® provided safer,
quicker access while minimising inconvenience. Their disciplined team delivered quality
results to spec, on time and on budget. We would not hesitate to recommend or use CPR
again for safe height access and large-scale remedial and painting works.”
