Facade Access Consultants

To comply with OSHA and other various regulations, many building owners and managers are being required to install new facade access and fall protection equipment on their existing buildings. As consulting engineers, our job is two-fold. The first is to provide our clients with a comprehensive and safe engineered facade access system. The second is to provide this system in the most cost-effective manner possible. Building owners and managers need to provide safe access for workers, but this does not necessarily mean that a new piece of permanent hardware must be installed on every square inch of a building. We pride ourselves on providing our clients with value-engineered solutions that deliver efficient facade access. The less cumbersome an installation, the more cost-effective it becomes while in turn reducing the risk of injury during use.
The DHG team of engineers provides owners with a turnkey design engineering package for facade access. This means that we do not stop short at simply designing the façade access equipment, we provide the full structural package that will allow the system to be installed. For new installations, this includes analysis and design of roof structural members to support the loads imposed by the installed system. For existing buildings that require retrofit, our engineers provide the following: site investigation of the existing structure, structural analysis, and design of reinforcing members. After installation, we provide load testing of the newly installed system to comply with OSHA 1910.27 and 1910.66 standards.
