Fremantle Ports — Roof Replacement & Corrosion Remediation

Project Overview

The project involved working on a very steep roof pitch extending well beyond 100 metres in length, presenting significant access and safety challenges. The building's proximity to saltwater had caused accelerated corrosion, requiring a comprehensive replacement solution rather than patchwork repairs.

These challenges were effectively managed through detailed planning, experienced personnel and FMR's strong commitment to a zero-harm safety culture. The result was a long-term roofing solution that eliminated the persistent leaking issues and restored the facility's weather-tightness for continued port operations.

Scope of Works

• Full roof replacement on steep-pitch shed (100m+ length)
• Corrosion assessment and remediation in saltwater environment
• Long-term leak elimination solution
• Height access and safety system design for steep pitch
• Detailed planning for live port environment
• Coordination with ongoing port logistics operations

Key Outcomes

• Long-term roofing solution delivered — persistent leaks eliminated
• Zero safety incidents despite steep pitch and extreme length
• Managed saltwater corrosion challenges through material specification
• Zero disruption to port operations throughout
