AT-PAC’S DAVID CLARK PARTICIPATES IN THE PUSH-UP CHALLENGE FOR MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

June 8, 2022

Mental health impacts your well-being and can affect your overall health conditions. Many suffer in silence continuing to face mental illness on their own. Coming together as a community to help spread mental health awareness and remove the societal shame surrounding it is the clear mission of The Push-Up Challenge founded by The Push For Better Foundation. The foundation focuses on the prevention and early intervention of depression, anxiety, and suicide. Since 2017, The Push-Up Challenge has seen over 250,000 participants and raised over $16 million for mental health and suicide prevention.


Acknowledging and understanding the importance of mental health and the benefits of speaking up on the issue compelled AT-PAC employee David Clark to join the movement. Completing 3,139 push-ups over 24 days to raise awareness and funding for mental health is the challenge that many like David Clark have taken on to help change the narrative surrounding mental health. “I was drawn to this cause to help in busting this stigma around mental health and emotional wounds! I have spent my career in the construction industry, where only now is it becoming socially acceptable to talk and share your thoughts.” Says David on why he chose to be part of the Push-Up Challenge for a second year in a row. The Push For Better Foundation aims to raise awareness while educating the public on mental health. “If we haven’t been there ourselves, we at least know someone who has had or continues to struggle with mental health in their daily lives” stated by David. Mental health doesn’t have to be a road anyone should have to take alone. Join thousands of people for this great cause and mental health awareness that could change your life and others.


Get fit, learn about mental health and join the movement to push for better mental health.

Project Spotlight: A World-Class Access Solution for Challenging Marine Conditions at Hastings Port, Australia

By Tim Quick • June 26, 2026
Browse the complete project gallery AT-PAC Australia supplied a comprehensive Ringlock scaffolding solution to support JVAT Industries in delivering a complex headstock refurbishment project at Hastings Port, Victoria, Australia. Working in a challenging marine environment, the project required a fully engineered suspended scaffold system that provided safe access to every headstock and pile beneath the jetty. Designing a solution capable of performing in tidal conditions while withstanding harsh marine weather presented significant engineering and logistical challenges. Parts of the scaffold system were required to operate below the waterline, demanding careful planning, innovative engineering and close collaboration between AT-PAC, Dre Designs and JVAT Industries. Through detailed design and technical expertise, the team delivered a solution that provided safe, reliable access while standing up to the demanding marine environment. AT-PAC's versatile Ringlock system delivered the strength, adaptability and performance required for this highly specialised application, enabling JVAT Industries to deliver a critical access solution for refurbishment works with confidence. This project demonstrates how engineered access solutions, backed by technical expertise and strong collaboration, can overcome even the most demanding industrial access challenges.
