Did You Know: Nearly 8% of fatal falls happen from heights less than 6', the trigger height for fall protection in construction. Plan ahead to prevent falls, by incorporating safety through design, utilizing passive fall protection systems, and selecting proper anchor points. #StandDown4Safety

Recently, we conducted electronic detection on an aged waterproofing system to assess its current quality and lifecycle status by quantifying breaches in the system. Our advanced methods allow us to accurately identify breaches and apply them to a layout map, providing a visual representation of the extent of damage and deterioration. This detailed analysis helps in planning effective maintenance and repair strategies, ensuring the integrity of your property. #WaterproofingIntegrity #ElectronicDetection #AssetProtection #QualityAssessment #Construction #WaterproofingSolutions

🌧️ Water Leaks in Buildings Without Cavity Systems? We've Got You Covered! 🌧️ Buildings constructed without cavity systems often rely heavily on elastomeric coatings and sealant joints to prevent water ingress. Over time, these components can deteriorate, leading to leaks that compromise structural integrity and occupant safety. At Building Protection Group (BPG), we're proud to announce the successful completion of testing on such components using advanced Detec Low Voltage Testing. This cutting-edge technology allows us to precisely identify vulnerabilities in façade systems, ensuring effective remediation. Our recent project in Newcastle highlighted the importance of reliable testing methods. With over 23 years of remedial expertise, BPG provides tailored solutions to protect your assets and maintain compliance with Australian standards. 🔍 Don’t let water leaks damage your property.
