People queue at Sydney domestic airport ahead of the Easter long weekend. Thursday 14 April 2022 was predicted to be the busiest day for domestic travel in two years, with 82,000 passengers set to pass through the airport.Building operations staff inspect tiles on the Sydney Opera House sails on 5 April 2022.
The ‘tile tapping’ test is conducted every five years to inspect the health of the tiles that cover the building’s iconic sails and takes six weeks to complete. A specific type of hammer is used to lightly tap the tiles, with each tile emitting a particular type of sound which indicates whether it is due for repair or still in good condition. There is a limited supply of backup tiles in stock for replacement, so the tile tapping check is an essential maintenance activity for the building.
