The lightweight machine for structural limitations
The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs (AWQAFM) is a Qatari government agency also known as the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs.
Scope
The building had some structural limitations from the early design stage, for that reason the weight of the BMU on the top floor had to be limited by shortening the outreach of the machine.
Strategy
FBA Gomyl engineers worked closely with the structural engineers of the building to find out the limits of weight and then to work out a solution by installing a SafeAccess monorail on the sloped part of the building. For the recessed areas, a fixed pantograph of 2m reach has been designed. The BMU is equipped with a knuckle boom to reach all facades of the building.
- BMU Type FBA S A versatile machine with knuckle boom and pantograph cradles is designed for various building facades, considering factors like height, structure, load capacity, and space. Safety, economy, and practicality, ensuring coordination without structural impact
