Central Mass: Facade Scope & Access
Building: G + 5 floors with moderate fins, recesses, and projections affecting cleaning
2
Routine Glazing Cleaning (2 Days)
- Scope: Vertical glazing (6,600 sq.m), glass balustrades (300 sq.m), skylight (440 sq.m)
- Methods: Telescopic poles (G, 1st, 5th) and davit system (2nd-4th)
- Productivity: ~50 sq.m/worker/hour due to complex facade geometry
- Manpower: 10 workers for 2 days (16 hours) to clean 7,340 sq.m
3
Skylight Cleaning Strategy
- Skylight size: 26m × 17m (440 sq.m) with max 13m cleaning reach
- Solution: Manual telescopic poles from both sides, no gantry needed
- Benefits: Reduced O&M, no mechanical systems, better value engineering
- Eliminates long-term risks of powered equipment maintenance
4
BMU & Permanent Anchor Assessment
- Permanent BMU/anchors rejected due to architectural sensitivity
- Fifth-floor terrace has luxury/ceremonial importance - minimal visual impact needed
- Temporary davit system provides controlled access without permanent fixtures
- Conclusion: Current solution is complete, efficient, and low-impact
5
Wing Cleaning Scope & Rates
- Typical wing: 1,300 sq.m glazing (G+1), 740 sq.m recessed (L2), 740 sq.m skylights
- Stone cladding: ~3,000 sq.m (mechanically fixed natural stone)
- Productivity: 60 sq.m/hour (glazing), 40 sq.m/hour (stone)
- Daily capacity: 8 workers × 8 hours = 64 man-hours/day
6
Full Facade Deep Cleaning
- Scope: All glazing (2,780 sq.m/wing) + stone cladding (3,000 sq.m/wing)
- Duration: ~2 days/wing (121 man-hours), ~4 days for two wings
- Stone cleaning interval: 12-24 months for mechanically fixed stone
- No BMU needed: Ground-based systems sufficient for entire facade
7
Atrium Cleaning Strategy
- Features: 2,500 sq.m perforated screens (L2-5), 440 sq.m skylight (28.5m height)
- Method: Scaffolding for screens (vacuum + brush), detergent for skylight
- Interval: 18-24 months due to controlled AC environment
- Duration: ~4 days total (8 workers) including scaffolding setup
