Facade Cladding Maintenance
Rope Access Facilities Management Services undertake expert independent condition surveys on all types of commercial, residential and industrial type of buildings. All our surveys are performed by our specialist team of highly experienced IRATA technicians.
The exterior facades of many modern buildings are constructed from numerous component parts. These components may have been installed on-site or assembled in a factory to form a cladding unit. Recent building designs have been tailored to achieve some stunning appearances using an ever-increasing variety of materials but coupled with such diversity comes the potential for problems associated with design, workmanship, and durability of materials and security of fixings.
At Rope Access Facilities Management Services, we specialize in surveying cladding systems, both for general defects and cladding refurbishments. Using rope access techniques allows an unparalleled speed of data gathering and survey accuracy to be achieved, without the exposure to the high costs involved in scaffolding erection or the installation of powered access systems.
Wherever possible, we always undertake thorough literature reviews of the cladding panel specifications, construction drawings and related documentation prior to embarking on the survey, in order that we thoroughly understand how the system was installed.
