The InterContinental Tianjin Yujiapu Hotel and International Convention Center is a unique building shaped by slopes and curves. Its facade is going inward at every floor. Located in the heart of the Tianjin Yujiapu Financial District, it is home to a five-stars hotel, a convention center and several major financial corporations.

FBA Gomyl design and manufacture a wide variety of Building Maintenance Units (BMU), including rail, suspension, wheel, insert rod, or sliding types, tailored to different building facades, roof structures, and specific customer needs. Our suspended working platform is versatile and can be used for parapets and complex buildings at various heights. Additionally, we can provide customized platforms to meet specific requirements from customers.

Scope
