Anchor Point Installation in Melbourne

Suspended access equipment requires the installation of safe anchors on your building.

The most widespread of these anchors are safety eyebolts, which are used throughout Melbourne to provide access for cleaning and maintenance at heights.

Sky Access supply and install a range of eyebolts and single point anchors that offer individual fall protection for maintenance personnel.

Safety anchors can be installed on most buildings and construction projects.

Eyebolt & anchor maintenance

Safety legislation for fall protection and rope access anchors requires that all of your eyebolts and single point anchors are inspected and certified at least once every twelve months.

Sky Access skilled experts will provide this service for you, ensuring that your anchors and eyebolts remain safe and secure for as long as they are in use.

Our safety eyebolts and anchors are manufactured to conform to: AS/NZS 4488 Industrial rope access systems AS/NZS 1891.2 Horizontal lifelines and rail systems AS/NZS 1891.4 Industrial fall arrest systems and devices in order to ensure the safety and security of those working at heights.

What is an abseiling anchor?

Abseiling Anchors – sometimes referred to as Twin Anchor Posts, Abseil Points, Abseil Posts, Abseil Eyebolts – are a roof access solution.

Abseiling anchors can be installed and fixed to various surfaces to allow for the safe access of both internal and external spaces on a structure. Sky Access trained rope access technicians use Abseiling Anchors as part of a Façade Access System to perform cleaning and maintenance tasks regularly – even if space is limited on the roof structure.

Access ways

Fixed Davit Sockets (FDS) with Mobile Davit Arm (MDA)

A davit system consists of two primary components, a base and an arm. The base is a permanent fixture to the building structure called a fixed davit socket (FDS). The MDA is portable with the ability to be removed. The davit system will be used to allow access above and over any balustrades or parapet and allow users to abseil away from the parapet not loading the balustrade or parapets

Roof Beam Jockey(RBJ)

Like fixed Davits, RBJ’s also do not place any load on facades or parapet walls and allows its users to land/abseil away from the parapet. Roof Beam Jockey will be a back-leg rail fixed system. For a RBJ back anchored to Rail a suitable hob is required to fix the rail system(Unirail).

Multi Operator Rail System

The Unirail or Rigid rail system is suitable for use as an anchorage system for rope access. The user connects to the rail via two attachment carriages - one for the abseil rope and one for their safety back up rope. If used for fall protection only one connection is required. The entire system maintains a safety factor of at least two for multiple workers as part of a complete personal fall protection system.

Anchor Points

Anchor Points are generally used for fall arrest and for rope access only if designed / rated. Different types of Anchor Points include cast-in, through bolted, mechanical and chemical fix. As per Australian Standards all chemical and mechanical anchors require a pull test to the half of its design load whereas Cast-In & through bolt Anchors only require visual inspection. As for this project cast in anchors will be used.

Horizontal Lifeline / Static line (HLL)

A cable based static line system also provides continuous movement (when used with HLL travellers) to its users however it can be only used for fall arrest. Different types of HLL can be used depending on the situation e.g. Metal Roof mounted, concrete slab/wall mounted; slab mounted raised HLL and overhead application. Each system is generally designed for a specific number of workers.
