The BMU is the modern solution for buildings where regular maintenance is required in inaccessible locations. A powerful cradle system offers an economic solution for both window cleaning, maintenance and light repair works.

As the tallest skyscraper in Western Europe, The Shard takes its name from the four shards of the double-glazed glass facade set at various angles, towering more than 20m above roof level. Architect Renzo Piano designed an irregular pyramidal-shaped building from the base to the top, laying down the challenge to CoxGomyl’s engineers and ...

The asymmetric design of the Shard’s volume meant a highly complex glazed envelope design. The eight ‘shards’ entailed the design, engineering, manufacturing, and installation of around 11,000 units, many of them one-off production elements. The Shard’s envelope is a passive double-skin system.
