Replacing windows at hard-to-reach facade areas

Facades aren’t always straight, but can have angles, twisting or protruding parts or other elements that make some facade areas hard to reach. To be able to replace glass panels at those areas, we have developed special equipment and tools.

Do not overlook BMU maintenance

Building Maintenance Units (BMUs) are used for maintaining and cleaning the facades of a building. Whether it is a low to mid-rise building or a skyscraper, a BMU must provide 100% access to the facade while being 100% safe.

BMU’s on glass guildings – The challenge

How do Building Maintenance Units keep unique glass structures of mid- or highrise buildings in pristine condition? Let’s see how these BMU’s can be used for maintenance work on glass facades.

Comparing 3 different Facade Access solutions

To provide you with some guidance in the search for the right facade access solution, we will briefly explain and compare some available options in facade access solutions. Each with its own characteristics.

Reversed Osmosis system on a BMU

We always strive to meet and exceed the wishes and demands of our clients when developing a BMU. This results in innovative and unique machines being created by our skilled engineering team.

Spotting an unsafe facade access situation

During one visit to a facade access project, we were taken to the roof of the client to check out the facade access system, a locally made machine. Once we entered the roof, we were startled by what we saw.

XSClimber – the safest hoist for self-hoisting gondolas

In a Facadexs solution, self-hoisting gondolas use the XSClimber – an electrical self-reeving traction hoist, to take any gondola to the desired height safely/without any noise. The mechanism blocks the hoist at overload.
