Access Solutions for Commercial Buildings and High-Rise Towers

If your commercial tower has complex facades, limited roof space, or heights above 30 meters, temporary access methods become impractical and expensive. A permanently installed building maintenance unit eliminates recurring scaffolding costs, reduces scheduling delays, and gives your maintenance crews safe, repeatable access to every facade surface. Our BMUs are designed with integrated safety systems, concealment options, and the structural flexibility to handle curved, sloped, or irregular building profiles.

For routine cleaning, inspection, and glass maintenance on low- to mid-rise commercial buildings, davit systems offer a practical, purpose-built façade access solution. They use permanently fixed base points and portable arms that deploy quickly and lower out of sight when not in use. Davits provide permanent, code-compliant access without the cost or structural demands of a full BMU installation.

Glazed atriums, interior facades, and soffits are among the most difficult areas to access for cleaning and inspection. Monorail systemsuse track-mounted platforms or rolling ladders that follow fixed rail paths to reach these surfaces safely. Manual or power-operated, they blend with the building’s architecture and eliminate the need for disruptive temporary access methods.

A facade access system is only as safe as the anchor points supporting it. Non-compliant or missing tiebacks expose building owners to regulatory penalties and serious liability. Our safety tieback anchors and horizontal lifeline systems are designed to international standards including OSHA, ANSI/ASME, BS EN 795, and AS/NZS 1891.

For low- to mid-rise commercial buildings with consistent facade profiles, powered platforms offer a cost-efficient permanent façade access solution. Modular sections adapt to different facade lengths. Built-in emergency descent, tilt detection, and slack cable detection protect operators while corrosion-resistant construction keeps maintenance costs low over the system’s lifespan.

Adding a facade access system after construction is complete often means costly structural modifications and compromised aesthetics. Ournew construction services bring access planning into the design phase with 3D BIM modeling and FEA structural analysis. This reduces cost, avoids coordination conflicts, and delivers a system that integrates seamlessly with your building’s architecture from day one.

For new airport terminals, our engineering team works alongside architects, engineers and consultants to integrate new construction solutions from day one. This includes roof load calculations, track routing, BMU parking positions, and cradle deployment strategies mapped to the terminal layout.

Facade access challenges that are not resolved during design become expensive problems during construction. Our integrated design services provide early-stage facade access consultancy, including BMU placement studies, structural load analysis, concealment strategies, and cleaning cycle planning. We work within your project team to resolve access challenges before they impact your schedule or budget.

Older commercial buildings with outdated or absent facade access systems face growing safety risks and rising maintenance costs. Our retrofit services deliver modern, code-compliant access systems for occupied buildings with minimal disruption to tenants and operations. We handle structural assessments, system design, manufacturing, and installation so your building meets current standards without extended downtime.

Large commercial developments often include podium levels, parking structures, connecting bridges, or atrium spaces that also need permanent access. Our infrastructure access solutions address these secondary structures with purpose-built systems that meet the same safety and performance standards as the primary building equipment.

Unplanned equipment failures disrupt building operations and create safety exposure. Our service maintenance programs range from ad-hoc call-out repairs to fully planned preventive maintenance contracts at a fixed annual cost. Scheduled servicing catches wear before it becomes a breakdown, keeping your building maintenance units, davit systems, and powered platforms running reliably.

Missed inspections put your building at risk of regulatory penalties and, more critically, worker injuries. Our routine inspection programsidentify wear, structural issues, and non-compliance before they become incidents. We inspect your commercial facade access equipment against applicable standards, including BS EN 1808, ANSI/ASME A120.1, AS 1418.13, and local codes, so it stays operational and compliant.

Replacing an aging facade access system is a major capital expense. In many cases, refurbishment can restore your existing equipment to full performance at a fraction of the replacement cost. We assess your current system’s condition, replace worn components, upgrade controls, and recertify the equipment to current standards, extending its operational life by years.

Generic aftermarket parts are a common cause of equipment failures and voided warranties. Our genuine OEM spare parts for Tractel, Manntech, and CoxGomyl equipment are manufactured to original specifications. We also maintain and supply parts for third-party machines, keeping your equipment running to the standard it was designed for.

Without visibility into equipment condition and lifecycle costs, building owners make reactive decisions that cost more in the long run. Our asset management programs provide condition monitoring, maintenance planning, and end-of-life replacement strategies. You get the data you need to make informed capital decisions and maximize the return on your facade access investment.

Untrained operators are the leading cause of facade access incidents. Our training programs cover safe operation, maintenance procedures, and installation protocols for commercial building maintenance teams. All training is delivered by qualified, factory-trained technicians and can be customized to your specific equipment and site requirements.
