Advanced Retrofit and Service Programs for Modern Structures

Every building across the APAC skyline presents unique challenges ranging from aging equipment to new regulatory requirements. This is why Facade Access Solutions provides five core programs: training, inspections, maintenance, retrofits, and repairs.

Professional Building Inspection and Compliance Services

Routine inspection and load testing are crucial to keeping facade access systems safe and operational. Our certified technicians perform both Annual and Pre-Use Inspections as part of comprehensive compliance programs. Annual inspections provide a detailed assessment once per year, while pre-use inspections confirm equipment safety every 30 days.

We adhere to international standards such as OSHA, ANSI, CSA, EN and other globally recognized codes. Each inspection identifies risks, detects early signs of material fatigue, and provides actionable recommendations.

Our compliance specialists support building owners and facility managers in understanding their responsibilities and staying informed about evolving safety regulations that may affect their assets.

Through regular inspection programs, clients can be confident that their facade access systems operate at peak safety minimizing downtime, avoiding costly repairs, and ensuring the well-being of occupants and the public.

Preventive Maintenance Programs for Facade Access Systems

Proactive maintenance and energy-efficient upgrades are key to long-term equipment performance and workplace safety. We provide customized maintenance contracts for Tractel, Manntech, and CoxGomyl, among other global brands. Scheduled maintenance helps reduce downtime, manage costs, and maintain compliance.

Our programs cover building maintenance units (BMUs), davits, monorail systems , and powered platforms. Each maintenance plan is adapted to local environmental conditions—whether coastal climates, extreme heat, or heavy rainfall—ensuring system reliability worldwide.

We also offer emergency response services to quickly restore operations and minimize disruptions. Availability may vary by region and can be confirmed through your local Facade Access Solutions service office.

Certified Training for Maintenance and Access Teams

Safe operations start with knowledgeable, certified personnel. Our hands-on, site-specific training programs ensure teams are properly certified on the equipment installed in their building.

Our compliant and globally aligned programs provide training for powered platforms, facade access systems, and height safety equipment. Refresher courses are also available to keep operators updated with the latest standards, reducing liability and improving efficiency.

Expert Retrofit and Modernization Services

Aging buildings deserve safe and sustainable upgrades. Our retrofit and modernization services enhance safety, compliance, and performance,without the need for full system replacement.

By integrating new technologies into existing structures, we deliver cost-effective modernization solutions that extend system lifespan and improve operational reliability. Each project is custom-engineered to meet architectural challenges from historic facades to complex rooftops ensuring safety, functionality, and minimal disruption.

Comprehensive Refurbishment Solutions

Replacement isn’t always necessary when systems age. Our refurbishment solutions restore existing equipment to optimal performance and compliance standards.

We perform component replacements, structural adjustments, and control system recalibrations in line with original manufacturer specifications, ensuring continued reliability and safety.
