Skyscrapers are iconic landmarks in the Philippines, gracing the skyline of major cities like Manila and Cebu. These towering structures symbolize progress, innovation, and modernity. However, maintaining these colossal buildings presents unique challenges, making the role of Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) solutions crucial in ensuring their upkeep and longevity.
The Skyscraper Boom in the Philippines
In recent decades, the Philippines has witnessed a skyscraper boom, with developers competing to construct ever-taller buildings. Notable skyscrapers like the Pinnacle Tower in Manila and the Horizons 101 Tower in Cebu City stand as testaments to this architectural ambition.
Challenges in Skyscraper Maintenance
Skyscrapers face a set of maintenance challenges unlike any other type of building. Their immense height and complex designs necessitate specialized maintenance procedures. Neglecting maintenance can lead to safety hazards, reduce a building’s lifespan, and affect its overall aesthetic appeal.
What Are Building Maintenance Units (BMUs)?
Building Maintenance Units (BMUs) are specially designed systems that play a vital role in the upkeep of skyscrapers. These systems consist of equipment like traversing ladders, traversing gantries, davit arms, traction hoists, and rope climbers, which enable workers to access various parts of the building’s façade safely.
