Forget the scaffold. Forget the disruption. SkyPod® brings a smarter, faster, and safer way to conduct high-rise building diagnostics.

In a world where compliance deadlines tighten and urban density rises, CPR’s SkyPod® access system is leading a quiet revolution in facade inspection and building envelope diagnostics. This is the future of vertical access—Scaffold-Free™, non-intrusive, and precise.

High-Rise Maintenance Without Scaffolding: Why It Matters

Traditional scaffolding is bulky, expensive, and slow. It often causes prolonged tenant disruption, requires heavy approvals, and exposes crews to unnecessary risk.

SkyPod® changes all that. Designed for rope-free façade maintenance, this proprietary platform offers vertical movement with surgical control—ideal for diagnostics, detailed façade inspections, and remediation planning.

Key Benefits of SkyPod® Over Traditional Methods:

  • No tenant disruption – Setup and pack-down are rapid.
  • Fully Scaffold-Free™ – Zero scaff structure required.
  • Safer access to building exteriors – Minimises manual labour risk.
  • Pinpoint building envelope diagnostics – Allows fine-grain inspection of defects.
  • Faster reporting cycles – Integrates with CPR’s SFS360® dashboards.

The Technology Behind SkyPod®: Modern Building Inspection Methods

SkyPod® isn’t just a platform—it’s part of a broader CPR ecosystem. Powered by the same vision behind PEARS®, MARS™, and Upseiling®, SkyPod® enables vertical inspections with unmatched clarity and speed.

Our vertical inspection systems combine:

  • Motorised tracked platforms for stable movement along façades
  • HD imaging and infrared cameras for non-intrusive façade inspection
  • Live-feed diagnostics that sync with predictive modelling tools

This ensures that the condition of your building isn’t just seen—it’s understood.

Safe Access to Building Exteriors: Designed for High-Rise and Difficult Access

Unlike rope access inspection or abseiling-only services, SkyPod® provides a stable working environment that doesn’t rely on technician dexterity alone. This is crucial for tall buildings, heritage structures, or sites with limited clearance.

SkyPod® is often used in:

  • Heritage façade preservation
  • Cladding audits and compliance checks
  • Crack and sealant failure inspections
  • Storm and weather damage assessments

SkyPod® + SFS360®: A Data-Led Inspection Workflow

All findings from a SkyPod® session are uploaded into CPR’s SFS360® reporting platform, which delivers:

  • Interactive façade defect mapping
  • Photo-tagged condition ratings
  • Compliance traceability (including DBP Act references)
  • Digital prioritisation by cost, severity, and urgency

This system supports property owners, strata managers, and facility engineers with clear direction—not technical overwhelm.

Real-World Example: CBD Tower, Sydney

After discovering efflorescence and glazing sealant failure on two elevations, a 25-storey commercial tower in Sydney opted for SkyPod® instead of full scaffolding. CPR completed full diagnostics in just three days, with zero disruption to tenants.

Outcomes included:

  • 3D building envelope diagnostics with mapped defects
  • Projected remediation plan costed to elemental level
  • Validated cladding compliance report

How SkyPod® Supports Scaffold-Free Facade Remediation

For asset owners under compliance pressure, SkyPod® allows pre-remediation planning without waste or guesswork. It enables:

  • Condition-first decision-making
  • Efficient defect scoping
  • Targeted repair schedules

If you’re preparing for a facade upgrade, SkyPod® is the best starting point.
