Facade Engineering, Access & Cleaning Strategy
We design facades combining beauty and performance: thermally and water-tight facade systems, with access, maintenance and cleaning (BMU) solutions keeping your project looking its best.
Service Overview
Facade engineering is a precise discipline ensuring building-envelope performance: thermal insulation, prevention of water and air infiltration, wind resistance and durability. We design facade systems (curtain walls, cladding, stone) achieving efficiency, beauty and code compliance.
We also address maintenance and cleaning access strategy via Building Maintenance Units (BMU), anchor points and safety lines, especially in high-rise buildings. We coordinate the design with architecture, structure and MEP, and provide performance calculations, details and specifications.
Scope of Work
- Designing facade systems (glass, cladding, stone)
- Thermal/water performance and wind-resistance calculations
- Designing BMU maintenance access and anchor points
- Setting a facade cleaning and maintenance strategy
- Sealing, joint and expansion detailing
- Coordination with architecture, structure and MEP
