Facade Maintenance, Cleaning and Access Planning

Facades need to remain cleanable, maintainable and repairable throughout their service life.

• That is why maintenance logistics and safe access belong in the design from the start.
• Priedemann considers not only cleaning and maintenance equipment, but also the facade design itself, moving or electrical components and the future replacement of glazing.
• This helps prepare operation and maintenance in a practical way over the life of the facade.
• Priedemann considers maintenance, cleaning and facade access during design.
• Moving and electrical components, glazing, cleaning methods, access routes, fall protection, walkways and building maintenance units are coordinated with use, safety and construction interfaces.
• Depending on the appointment, the work produces maintenance and cleaning concepts, access strategies and technical requirements for subsequent design.

• The objective is a facade whose operation and care are practicable.
• Testing, certification and specific maintenance intervals are addressed only within the agreed scope.

Access and replacement as design considerations

• Facade access is not only about routine cleaning.
• Maintenance of moving or electrical components and the future replacement of damaged glazing also need to remain practicable.
• Design considerations can therefore include access routes, fall-protection systems, walkways and building maintenance units, together with their loads and interfaces with the facade and primary structure.
• Maintenance and cleaning concepts can also define how different facade areas are to be reached and cared for in practice.
