Innovative approach: Facade protection of ailing buildings without scaffoldings

Industrial climbers secure run-down facades with flexible protection nets

The facade protection of run-down buildings is gaining importance in Germany. According to the report “Sanierungsbedarf im Gebäudebestand” of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (December 2014) treating the need of refurbishment of the existing building stock, approximately half of the 19 million residential buildings have to be refurbished in the 20 years to come. There is even a huge gap on investment for public buildings and monuments. Many facades show considerable deficiencies and have to be secured.
