Tiebacks and lifelines provide the foundation of safe and reliable facade access. These essential systems secure outrigger systems, lifelines for suspended platforms, and other building maintenance equipment to the structure while protecting workers from falls. Each anchor is carefully engineered and tested to resist applied forces in wood, concrete, or steel, ensuring dependable performance in every project.
Facade Access Solutions supplies tiebacks with a rated capacity of 5,000 lbs in any direction, meeting local regulations and global industry standards. Lifeline systems deliver continuous fall protection, allowing smooth horizontal and vertical movement during maintenance work. Together, tiebacks and lifelines provide a complete safety solution for both new construction and retrofit applications.
Tieback anchors play a vital role in facade access systems. They secure outrigger systems, suspended platforms, and other fall protection equipment to structural wood, concrete, and steel. Designed for safety and tested for strength, these anchors offer dependable performance across all project types, from new builds to modernizations.
Installed directly into wood, concrete, or steel structures, roof-mounted tieback anchors deliver secure connections for suspended platform rigging. Proof testing confirms capacity and compliance with local regulations, making this an efficient and cost-effective solution for building maintenance projects.
When roof installation is not possible, wall-mounted systems offer durable and secure anchor points. These systems connect fall protection and outrigger systems directly to the building’s wall, enabling safe and efficient facade access. Each anchor is rigorously tested for load resistance, providing long-term reliability and safety on site.
Flush-mounted anchors sit level or below the roof surface, creating discrete anchor points without visible hardware. Ideal for projects where aesthetics and safety are equally important, these designs ensure compliance, performance, and reliability for BMUs and integrated facade access systems.

A tieback anchor provides a secure point for suspended platforms, and other facade access systems. These anchors are engineered to resist applied forces in wood, concrete, or structural steel, ensuring equipment stability and worker protection in construction and maintenance operations.
Anchors undergo proof testing, where controlled tension verifies load capacity and performance. Each test measures installation torque, bond length, and structural resistance to confirm the anchor’s safety and compliance for supporting suspended platforms and fall protection systems.
Yes. Vertical, horizontal, and self-retracting lifelines can be installed as part of retrofit projects. These systems are typically mounted on roofs or walls to create safe anchor points for workers and are reviewed for compliance with local and international safety standards.
Tiebacks and lifelines should be inspected periodically, usually once a year, and after major events such as construction, equipment changes, or severe weather. Regular maintenance confirms load capacity, checks resistance, and ensures long-term system reliability and compliance.
Yes. These systems are a long-term investment in safety and efficiency, reducing liability while supporting smooth facade access. Built from high-strength rods, bolts, and accessories, they resist tension and movement, which is ideal for both new builds and retrofits.
Facade Access Solutions provides complete technical documentation for tiebacks and lifelines, including BIM files and detailed specification sheets for architects, engineers, and contractors. These resources include data on anchor capacity, embedment depth, rod size, installation torque, and bond length to guide the design and selection process.
All anchors are proof tested according to local safety codes, with detailed resistance values for concrete and structural steel. Our team supports each project with references, accessories, and system requirements, ensuring accurate and compliant equipment selection.
Facade Access Solutions offers full-service support for tieback and lifeline installations, starting from initial project assessment to on-site installation. Every anchor is tested for capacity under applied loads, with installation torque and proof testing managed by our experienced technicians to meet global safety standards.
Our commitment continues after installation. We provide ongoing inspection, recertification, and maintenance services to ensure long-term reliability and compliance. With extensive experience across global markets, our specialists make it easy for building owners and contractors to maintain safe and efficient facade access systems.
