Project Overview
Industry: Construction
Location: VIC
Duration: 2 Days
Types of Laser Used: Needle 300W
Summary: Precision laser cleaning (PLC) was engaged to remove the infamous "Pam the Bird" graffiti from the upper facade of a new multi-storey building in Footscray, Melbourne. The project required a rapid response and a highly specialised access strategy due to the location of the graffiti.
)
The Challenges
Inaccessible Location: The graffiti was several storeys high, making scaffolding or EWPs impractical.
Time Sensitivity: Immediate removal was required and traditional abrasive methods would have extended the timeline and increased costs.
Environmental Conditions: Wind, rain and temperature changes affected rope access work, requiring schedule flexibility.
The Solution
Laser Equipment Used: The 300W Netalux needle laser, weighing just 40 kg, offered the versatility required for vertical graffiti removal.
Efficient & Cost-Effective Access: Rope access allowed faster, more economical work compared to scaffolding or EWPs, meeting the client’s time requirements.
Effective Environmental Management: Careful monitoring of weather conditions enabled safe and timely execution despite urban environmental challenges.
