Industrial Repainting Project

3 Colours was contracted to repaint power generators valued at over $5 million, which had been transported from Japan to serve as critical backup units for power failures across Sydney’s CBD. The project required precision, compliance, and adherence to strict Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations due to the high-value and technical nature of the equipment.

Scope of Works

• Full surface preparation and repainting of industrial-grade power generators
• Application of specialist industrial coatings designed for corrosion resistance and long-term protection
• Compliance with stringent WHS standards for confined-space and high-risk work environments
• Coordination with engineers and site supervisors to meet safety, environmental, and quality requirements

Challenges

The repainting process involved high-stakes logistics and exacting safety protocols. Each generator required careful handling and controlled coating application to prevent contamination or damage to sensitive components. Strict timelines and environmental controls added to the project’s complexity.

Outcome

The project was delivered safely and successfully within specification. The protective coatings now provide robust durability against corrosion and environmental stress, ensuring these critical generators remain operationally reliable and compliant for emergency deployment within Sydney’s CBD.
