Challenge & Solution

What We Had to Work Through

⚠ The Challenges

  • The church is a heritage-listed building, requiring careful planning to protect its architectural features throughout the installation.
  • The height of the building limited safe roof access using conventional installation methods.
  • Working on a historic structure required additional care to prevent damage during installation activities.
  • Access and logistics needed to be carefully managed due to the building’s size and surrounding environment.

✓ Our Solutions

  • Developed an installation methodology that respected the heritage structure while delivering a modern renewable energy solution.
  • Utilised an elevated work platform (EWP) to provide safe and efficient access for installers and equipment.
  • Followed strict installation procedures and careful material handling to preserve the building’s existing condition.
  • Planned site operations and equipment positioning to ensure safe, efficient installation with minimal disruption to the property.
