Facade access systems are specialized facade access equipment that create safe and efficient access to building exterior surfaces for maintenance, cleaning, and inspections. Designed to integrate seamlessly with building architecture, they deliver reliable and compliant performance for all types of structures. Common system types include building maintenance units (BMUs), davit arms, monorails, and suspended platforms.
A Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) provides permanent, code-compliant facade access to building facades. It allows safe and efficient window cleaning, inspection, glass replacement, and repair work at height. BMUs are crucial for high-rise buildings that require regular exterior maintenance.
Custom-engineered facade access systems are designed for complex or uniquely shaped buildings with limited roof space or unusual geometries. They provide scalability and adaptability for the building’s unique needs. Standard systems suit simpler, low-rise structures and offer cost-effective, long-term maintenance access.
Every system is designed, tested, and certified in full compliance with international and local safety regulations. This includes standards such as EN 1808, OSHA, ASME/ANSI A120.1, and CAN/CSA-Z271. Our certifications cover worker fall protection and operational reliability. For a detailed overview, visit our codes, regulations, and standards page.
Our engineers collaborate closely with architects and developers during the design phase. Through our integrated design services, we plan facade access systems that complement building aesthetics while maintaining safety, functionality, and performance. This early coordination is crucial for new construction projects.
Regular inspections, testing, and servicing are required to maintain continued safety and performance. Our preventive maintenance programs help extend system lifespan, minimize downtime, and maintain compliance throughout the product’s lifecycle. Learn more about our asset management programs.
Yes. Our systems can be custom-designed and retrofitted to existing structures without major modifications. Building owners looking to upgrade aging facade access equipment can explore our retrofit services for options best suited for their building’s design and operational needs.
The right system depends on your building’s height, geometry, limited roof space considerations, and maintenance requirements. Our global team of industry professionals can assess your project and recommend a compliant, cost-effective facade access solution for your property. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
