Shanghai Tower - Asia’s tallest building

Shanghai Tower features a unique double layer of two transparent curtain walls which provide natural heating and cooling. The outer wall is designed to offer protection from the heat of the sun, while the inner layer provides a bright, light-filled interior space. The building access solution needed to match the vision and technological innovation of the architects in order to provide comprehensive building access to all areas of this distinctive and ground breaking structure. For the second tallest building in the world, Manntech developed a zone-based cleaning system to provide full facade coverage within very limited space. Seven identical Building Maintenance Units were specially designed and manufactured which were almost entirely unique to this project.
