Summary of Recommendations
| Building Shapes | Types of System |
Considerations |
|
1. Rectangular Building
|
Trolley Unit
|
Spacious roof top |
| Traveling Davits System
|
Overcrowding roof top | |
| Cleaning Robot
|
For smooth facade | |
| 2. Sloping Roof
|
Trolley Unit
|
Space for laying the tracks for trolley unit. |
| Monorail fixed along the perimeter of the building at roof level
|
Aesthetic not a restricting factor | |
| Cradle running on sloping track on the inclined roof
|
With glazing on the sloping roof | |
| 3. Pointed Roof
|
Trolley unit with telescopic jib
|
The entire floor level of the highest storey may be used to house the access system.
|
| 4. Sloping Facade
|
BMU with telescopic jib
|
Recommended to use a cradle with an extended sloping panel to keep the cradle in vertical position.
|
| Cleaning Robot
|
Smooth surface | |
| 5. Staggered Blocks
|
Trolley Unit
|
Spacious roof top |
| Traveling Davits System
|
Overcrowding roof top | |
| Fixed Davits System
|
Position at staggered portions. | |
| Monorail fixed along the perimeter of the building at roof level.
|
Aesthetic not a restricting factor.
Same principle can be applied for building with barrel-vault roof of staggered blocks |
|
| Cleaning Robot
|
Smooth surface | |
| 6. Stepped Roofs
|
BMU with telescopic jib
|
Place the BMU on the highest step roof to reduce the number of access systems required
|
| 7. Circular Buildings
|
Trolley Unit
|
Spacious roof top |
| Traveling Davits System
|
Overcrowding roof top | |
| Cleaning Robot
|
Smooth surface |
