Stair Protection

Season 22 of The Block is a wrap. We look back at the six biggest site protection lessons from the build, drawn from our weekly recaps and our interviews with Mark, David and Nine in Six Builders.

Protecta project specialist David Perna goes behind the scenes on The Block. He shares how a noise barrier became a nightclub, how Protecta Shield XTRA kept a pool spotless, and why protection has to go down early.

Protecta’s Regional Sales Manager, Mark Johnson, goes behind the scenes on protecting one of Australia’s most-watched builds. He covers last-minute requests, the surprise demand for ZipWall®, and why protecting early always pays off.

Seven months, one live data centre, and not a single mark on the newly laid epoxy floor — here's how Protecta kept heavy construction traffic, dust and noise away from mission-critical equipment without missing a beat on schedule. See how it was done

With the tight deadline, Valmont needed to minimise any disruptions to neighbouring live office operations, which required separating the work site to contain noise and dust. Additionally, the client needed to protect the floor during the removal of the staircase and from scaffolding and potential debris. The limited storage space on site meant that deliveries needed to be carefully planned to supply necessary protection and temporary walling materials to the site when required to keep the project on track.
