Our team delivers the engineering expertise required to revitalize aging assets and helps every facade access building maintenance unit maintain peak safety and reliability for long-term operation through targeted BMU refurbishment.
Extending the operational life of a building requires high-performance facade access equipment that remains fully operational. Across the APAC Region our team delivers technical excellence to upgrade existing equipment and aging installations. Whether you manage a commercial facade access setup or a complex high rise system, our facade access maintenance programs help your equipment function as a dependable height safety system across existing buildings.
Our approach focuses on modernizing your facade access building maintenance unit by integrating current technologies into the existing system. This process allows building owners to avoid the high costs of full replacement while improving the safe working load (SWL) and operational efficiency, delivering significant cost savings.
In many situations, an existing system can be significantly improved through a strategic facade access retrofit. Our engineers evaluate your current facade access design to identify mechanical components and electrical components that require updating to meet applicable local and international safety standards. By using components from Tractel, Manntech, and CoxGomyl, we help equip your facility with a compliant height safety system.
Our refurbishment solutions integrate with existing edge protection and roof access hatch configurations with minimal disruption to building maintenance schedules. We offer a detailed height safety consultation to review every element of your facade access solution against modern safety requirements. For a comparison of upgrade paths, see our guide on BMU refurbishment vs. full replacement.
A vital part of our service involves the precise replacement of parts to maintain height safety certification. Our refurbishment solutions cover the wire ropes, safety devices and safety systems that keep an original BMU running safely, and include:
Choosing to modernize your facade access systems is a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to full replacement for facility management. Our facade access engineering team focuses on extending operational life through preventative maintenance of your facade maintenance systems to maximize your return on investment. Every project concludes with a thorough height safety inspection and height safety recertification to help your facade access assets be ready for immediate use across high rise buildings and tall buildings. For related reading, see our overview of types of building maintenance equipment.

Systems generally require a partial or complete overhaul after 10 to 15 years of service. If your facade access equipment no longer passes a height safety inspection, shows signs of structural fatigue, or its replacement parts are difficult to find, it is time for a retrofit.
Yes. While we are experts in CoxGomyl, Manntech, and Tractel, our engineers have the engineering capability to service and provide refurbishment solutions for various bmu systems and facade access systems found across the APAC Region.
A facade access retrofit is often more efficient and delivers minimal disruption to building occupants. It allows you to improve your height safety system and rope access system compatibility without needing to modify the roof’s structural footprint, and offers significant cost savings over a full replacement.
Are safety features like a lifeline or anchor point updated during a retrofit?
Yes. We frequently integrate a new height safety lifeline or anchor point during the modernization process, along with updated safety devices across the existing system. We help every horizontal lifeline and fall arrest lifeline meet applicable local safety codes for your specific location in the APAC Region as local regulations evolve.
