At Facade Access Solutions EMEAI, we support Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India’s most demanding facade access projects, delivering safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure access. From bridges and tunnels in the UK to nuclear facilities and high-rise building construction in the UAE, our team designs permanent and temporary access systems matched to your site, schedule, and compliance requirements. As a leading provider of work at height solutions, we prioritise operator safety across all infrastructure types.
We provide specialised access systems for infrastructure projects where safety, reliability, and precision are non-negotiable. Our engineers combine global expertise with local standards to ensure complex operations remain safe, efficient, and fully compliant. By implementing a robust fall protection system, we help mitigate risk during both building construction and long-term maintenance work.
Every facade access project has its unique challenges. Our engineers create access solutions that adapt to environmental conditions, safety regulations, and operational objectives, delivering systems that are safe, compliant, and performance-driven. We integrate every working at height protocol into the design phase. This includes the strategic placement of anchor points to protect workers and cleaning operatives in the most challenging environments.
Our experts bring unmatched knowledge to tunnel and shaft construction, improving underground safety and site productivity. Solutions include:
These access systems are designed to meet the highest safety standards while supporting efficient project workflows. We can integrate a horizontal lifeline for workers navigating narrow or elevated sections of the tunnel. Explore our complete range of tunnel access solutions engineered for safe site operations.
With experience on more than 50 bridges across 20 countries, including projects in the UK and UAE, we offer both permanent and temporary bridge access solutions. Permanent systems include underdeck gantries, building maintenance units (BMUs), stay cable gantries, tower inspection units, and specialised davits. Temporary platforms provide safe access during construction or refurbishment. Our suspended access equipment is engineered to provide stable work platforms for technicians and operatives at height. Furthermore, we provide the necessary safety equipment, such as a high-quality safety harness and safety lanyard, to ensure total security for bridge teams and cleaning operatives.
As an ISO 19443-certified supplier, we deliver access, lifting, and fall protection solutions that support critical nuclear facility operations. From filter replacement systems to precision winching units and overhead cranes, every solution enhances safety, reliability, and operational efficiency in nuclear facilities.
We are part of the Alimak Group, supported by world-leading brands Tractel, Manntech, and CoxGomyl. This means our clients receive proven engineering expertise, advanced technologies, and a global track record of over 16,000 installations.
Our solutions combine international innovation with European, Middle Eastern, African, and Indian codes, regulations and standards. Every system is designed for compliance with local codes and stringent safety regulations, ensuring long-term reliability. With teams across the UK, Dubai, and other key EMEAI markets, we provide consistent support for building projects of any size.
We design custom access systems for complex global building projects.
These are specialised access systems, including fall protection, gantries, building maintenance units (BMUs), travelling ladders, elevators, and platforms, designed to ensure safety while providing efficient access for building construction, inspection, and maintenance work in complex environments.
Industries including transportation, energy, oil & gas, manufacturing, and nuclear rely on custom access systems to meet safety and compliance challenges. Commercial building construction projects also depend on purpose-built infrastructure access systems to meet long-term maintenance requirements.
All systems are engineered to meet or exceed international and local regulations, industry codes, and project-specific requirements. UK projects align with BS 6037 and BS EN 1808, while UAE installations meet Dubai Municipality requirements alongside EN regulations. Our compliance-driven design supports safe, legally sound operations. Review our full guide to codes, regulations and standards for more information.
Permanent systems, such as building maintenance units (BMUs), gantries, and davits, provide ongoing access for inspection, maintenance, and repairs. Temporary solutions, including suspended platforms and travelling ladders, are for short-term construction or refurbishment projects. Both are designed for safety, durability, and efficiency.
Building maintenance units (BMUs) are roof-mounted access systems that deliver safe, repeatable platforms for cleaning operatives, technicians, and inspection teams. They reduce reliance on scaffolding and travelling ladders for tall buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure assets. Architects and engineers across the UK and UAE specify BMUs to meet demanding long-term maintenance requirements. Browse our range of BMU products for full details on design and capability.
