A new facade access system was required for Fulbright Tower, a 52 storey skyscraper in Houston, after the old Building Maintenance Units (BMUs) were seriously damaged during a hurricane.

Manntech has a long history with over 60 years of experience in providing facade access solutions and developing new innovative technologies for a constantly changing environment.

Abu Dhabi’s World Trade Centre is one of the oldest sites in the city and the vision of architects Norman Fosters for this project was inspired by the traditional architecture of the Gulf, with the aim of reinventing the market place and giving the city a new civic heart.

There are a whole host of reasons why a compact facade access solution is often desirable or even a specific requirement. This might include finding the most economical solution, minimising the visual impact, dealing with tight spaces or preserving space for other building uses. Our range of compact BMUs provide safe, practical and effective solutions for many types of building access challenges.

For some projects, traditional, roof-mounted Building Maintenance Units are not the best choice of building access system. There might be more economical and practical solutions, or the characteristics and architecture of the building might make a roof-mounted BMU unworkable. In these instances, Manntech can deliver a range of other access solutions to suit the unique requirements of any project.

From standard, economical options for buildings of lower complexity, through to a wide range of BMUs with customisable features and completely bespoke engineering for the most challenging architectural structures in the world, Manntech has the right solution.
