Façade Access System for Building Maintanance
PERMANENT FAÇADE ACCESS EQUIPMENT
Building Maintenance Units (BMU)
Building Maintenance Units (BMUs) are permanently installed systems engineered to offer thorough access to the exteriors of high-rise structures. These units are highly versatile, designed to reach extensive areas of a building’s façade, thus playing a crucial role in the maintenance of skyscrapers and complex architectural designs. BMUs facilitate safe and efficient cleaning, repairs, and inspections of external surfaces, with adaptable features and functionalities to meet various project demands.
Links Metalworks Corp, in partnership with its specialized providers, produces a diverse range of BMU systems tailored for different building projects, ensuring reliable and secure access to external façades.
Davits
Compact and highly flexible, davits offer an ideal solution for buildings with limited space behind outer parapets and a practical height range. These innovative systems allow for efficient setup and removal of access points, enabling maintenance crews to perform tasks safely and effectively even in space-constrained environments.
Designed to provide temporary yet stable support for platforms and equipment, davits present a cost-effective option for locations that can accommodate their adaptable configurations. At Links Metalworks Corp, all equipment, including davits, is engineered to meet the highest safety standards, ensuring secure and reliable support for façade maintenance tasks.
Monorails
Monorails are a versatile, effective access solution crafted to meet the demands of contemporary architecture. Like davits, monorails provide stable suspension for platforms and equipment, making them reliable for building maintenance and inspections. They offer a unique advantage by allowing for sleek installation along the façade or discreetly beneath soffits. This design enables access to challenging areas that other systems may not reach.
Equipped with manual or electric trolleys, monorails allow platforms to glide smoothly along the rail, enabling horizontal movement without the need for constant repositioning. This adaptability ensures efficient transitions across the building’s exterior, significantly reducing labor and time for maintenance and specialized projects.
Self-Powered Platforms
Self-powered platforms are access solutions specifically designed for use with dependable rigging systems such as davits and monorails. Unlike conventional platforms, self-powered models are fitted with hoisting motors, which can be powered either through an electric cable connection or on-board batteries, providing versatile operation for a wide range of building maintenance tasks.
These platforms facilitate smooth movement along building exteriors, making them ideal for accessing various areas efficiently. Integrated safety features—including automatic braking systems, load sensors, and emergency descent mechanisms—ensure a secure, stable working environment, even at substantial heights. Self-powered platforms are an adaptable, efficient choice for maintaining the highest safety and performance standards in façade maintenance.
Traversing Gantries
Traversing gantries are advanced access solutions designed to provide comprehensive façade access for complex architectural structures such as domes, barrels, and similar designs. Gantries consist of customized platforms or ladders that traverse horizontally along tracks installed at dedicated structural points on the building. Ideal for wide or irregular façades, traversing gantries allow maintenance teams to access extended areas of the exterior safely and efficiently.
Fall Protection
Fall protection is a critical safety component commonly used with façade access, and we offer a variety of solutions to ensure the safety of all personnel. Along with traditional fall protection systems, we also offer ceiling-mounted rails. Our fall protection systems include lifelines, harnesses, and personal fall arrest systems. These systems are designed to prevent accidental falls from height, providing workers with essential protection when accessing challenging areas.
Tie-back Anchors
Anchors are fixed points installed on the building that serve as secure attachment points for safety equipment. They are essential for fall protection and are particularly effective for locations with lesser heights, tasks that don’t require frequent access, or temporary maintenance activities. Anchors provide flexibility and safety for rope access and other equipment, ensuring that workers can perform their tasks confidently.
