McElligotts were engaged to complete the repaint of the Nobbys Head Lighthouse. The major work scope was the lead paint removal of the existing coatings and replacement with a modern protective coating system. Additional project requirements included the repair of corroded steel, repair of rotten or damaged timber, removal of asbestos, repair of the masonry and/or render, installation of a Sacrificial Anode Cathodic Protection system, installation of a new lantern room access ladder, installation of new safety railing to the lantern room access hatchway, establishment of a temporary lantern, and re-instatement of the original lantern including new equipment as specified.
This complex scope required a range of expertise, including specialised coatings and linings to withstand coastal conditions and scaffolding access systems to safely manage the difficult-to-reach areas of the lighthouse during works.
