Building Maintenance Units (BMU) Products

1- BMU (Building Maintenance Unit )

GinD® manufacturing procedures and facilities are innovative and state-of-the-art. The main feature that GinD® has followed regarding manufacturing facilities development is to have a better control and visibility of main processes involved.

As a consequence of the manufacturing policy described previously, GinD® has taken different stakes in key manufacturing process (cutting, machining, galvanizing, etc.), allowing us to grant maximum quality of our final products as well as having full control of costs. On top of this, we have obtained full flexibility in our process in a way that it is recognized worldwide that we can grant shortest delivery times for our most challenging machines.

Their prestigious engineering team has designed and installed over a thousand of complex and innovative solutions worldwide. The “tailor made” concept followed on every design allows us to develop countless new methods of production and assembly.

2 – SJ model ( Single Jib ) :

The SJ type machine (single jib) is used in buildings where longer outreaches are required. It allows reaching almost any required distance in the building façade profile. Traversing movement of the machine can be done on steel rails or on a concrete path.

Additional options can be added on request:

  • Fixed or telescopic jib.
  • Different approach systems (pantograph, telescopic, stick) to access recess areas on façades.
  • Auxiliary winch system for façade heavy maintenance (glass replacement, lift heavy loads, etc.).
  • Hydraulic system for jib luffing movement.
  • Turning platform.
  • Different systems to hide the jib behind the building parapet: telescopic mast, scissor lift, double luffing system.
  • Slewing body.
  • Detachable, interchangeable or telescopic platform.
  • Water tanks in the cradle.
  • Phone for communication between machine and cradle.
  • Full control in cradle through cable inside suspension wire ropes.
  • ISA/Restraint System when requested.

 

3 – DJ model ( Double Jib ) :

The DJ type machine (double jib) is used in buildings where the outreach requirement is under 5-6 meters (from front rail track) and working heights up to 250 meters. Its main feature is that the machine has two jibs for cradle support.

The most common options offered are:

  • Turning platform
  • Different approach systems (pantograph, telescopic, stick) to access recess areas on façades.
  • Slewing body.
  • Special design of the body for narrow areas.
  • Folding jibs for parking.
  • Water tanks in the cradle.
  • Auxiliary winch system for façade heavy maintenance (glass replacement, lift heavy loads, etc.).
  • Phone for communication between machine and cradle.
  • Full control in cradle through cable inside suspension wire ropes.
  • ISA/Restraint System when requested.

 

 

4 – Monorail :

In some buildings where access to roof deck is not feasible or the building covers a huge surface (airports for instance), we can propose a monorail system as the most suitable solution.

A monorail system is made of:

1.- Aluminium/steel track. This track will follow façade profile on curves, corners and even high slopes if required.

2.- Motorized/manual Trolleys that run on the track.

3.- Self-Powered Platform (GinD® MRT): it is suspended from the trolleys through a connecting beam and at least 2 wire ropes. It can be designed for 1 or 2 operators.

The monorail system allows different building maintenance teams working on different areas providing a better cleaning performance. GinD® Monorail systems are designed and manufactured in a way that allows the GinD® MRT to be disconnected and parked in a non-visible area. Tracks can also be embedded on the building to reduce visual impact.

GinD® MRT self-powered platform can be configured based on project needs as follows:

1- Different lengths and widths (fix configuration).
2- Modular configuration.
3- Telescopic modules in both sides (increasing width and length).

 

5 -Davits :

These systems were widely used around the world before the roof deck machines appeared as a solution for building maintenance in the market. It basically consists on:

1.- Base/pedestal: it is fixed to the building structure and acts as socket for the davit arm connection.

2.- Arm: portable aluminium structure with inverted “L” shape connected by its lower part to the base. It can be moved to different base locations in the building.

3.- Lifting tool: devise used to raise and connect the arm to the base.

4.- GinD® MRT: self-powered cradle suspended from the end of the davit arm.

Based on building façade configuration, terraces, etc., our team of engineers will define the quantity of davits, self- powered platforms to be used and type of rigged (roof or ground).

GinD MRT self-powered platform can be configured based on project needs as follows:

1.- Different lengths and widths (fix configuration).

2.- Modular configuration.

3.- Telescopic modules in both sides (increasing width and length).

 

 

6- Gantries :

Long atrium, podium areas or skylights are normally challenging accessing areas since they have flat, sloping or curved areas of glazing. Gantries are the perfect solution to maintain internal or externally those surfaces while integrating them into the building from an aesthetic point of view.

They are customized taking into consideration project requirements in regards to people to be carried out, material to be used (aluminium or steel), traversing system (manual or motorized), painting, etc.

7- Special Products  :

With a strong background in railway workshop equipment development, GinD® team can provide reliable products for any kind of lifting solution needed, such as bogie drop systems, rail drop systems, lifting jacks, maintenance platforms, etc.

Additionally, special equipment has also been designed and manufactured for industrial applications. This activity is based on our high engineering capability.
