Over the past decades, architects, builders, financiers, and engineers have all been competing to build the tallest structures in the world.

In the past, the title was held by many buildings. These include the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Empire State Building in New York, and Kuala Lumpur’s Petronas towers.

The Burj Khan towers at 829.8m, or 2,722ft, above all others. The Kingdom Tower is currently being built in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). Rumors suggest it will rise to 1,000 meters.

These magnificent architectural marvels attract crowds from all over the globe. It is hard to imagine how these buildings are painted. A simple ladder won’t work!

Safety first when painting buildings

Safety is of paramount importance when painting the largest buildings in the world. Many safety precautions are taken to ensure the safety of workers in the air and the people below.

Falling could cause serious injury to a worker. It could be very dangerous for a worker to fall. However, it could also prove fatal if equipment falls and crashes down hundreds of yards. Safety nets are usually hung under workers to catch any equipment that falls.

Suspended Scaffold

There are many ways exterior house painters in auckland can do their job depending on the building’s height, shape and other requirements.

To support workers, scaffolding can also be constructed from the ground for shorter buildings.

Painters use a suspended scaffold for tall buildings. A suspended scaffold is a thin structure hung from ropes so workers can move up or down the building.

Height Access System

A height access system is another option for large buildings. This system is a harness that the worker wears and is tied to the anchors at the building. This gives workers a lot more freedom of movement. To protect workers, there are many safety lines.

We have gained a lot of experience over the years as Cumming exterior painters. The knowledge goes into painting some of the most iconic structures in the world.
