Building Maintenance Units (BMU).
Crane-like roof systems that carry a working platform around the building facade — 828 is the preferred FBA Gomyl BMU partner in the Philippines.
FBA Gomyl BMUs for facade cleaning and maintenance.
A building maintenance unit (BMU) is mounted on the roof and moves along the building, lowering a working platform down the facade for cleaning, inspection, glazing and repair. It removes the need for rope access on tall or complex buildings.
Through our partnership with FBA Gomyl, 828 supplies BMUs configured from standardised, modular components — from basic models to fully customised systems for complex facade geometries, courtyards and atriums.
- Outreach of more than 30 metres
- Platforms that can extend beyond 2 metres
- Multi-layer drum hoist with four independent wire ropes
- Optional auxiliary hoist for glass replacement
- No rope access certification needed to operate
- Modular — add or remove elements as needs change
📍 Site surveys, installation and inspection nationwide — Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

From Survey to Sign-Off.
Survey
We visit the site, assess the hazards and confirm what the structure can carry.
Design
Layouts, calculations and product selection matched to your site.
Supply
Certified equipment from Groxx Gears, KStrong, Tractel, Jakob Rope Systems, FBA Gomyl and our own fabrication.
Install & Test
Installation by 828 technicians, with load and pull-out testing.
Certify & Inspect
Handover documents, training and scheduled inspections.
Common Questions.
Do you design the system or only supply components?
Both. 828 surveys the site, designs the layout and anchor positions, supplies the components (including the Groxx Gears range) and installs, tests and certifies the finished system. Supply-only orders are also available for contractors with their own installers.
How often does a fall protection system need inspection?
Permanent systems should be inspected at least once a year by a competent person, and after any fall event or structural change. 828 offers scheduled inspection contracts with written reports and re-certification.
Can you work on an occupied or operating facility?
Yes. We plan installation around your operations, with permits, method statements and our own temporary fall protection in place while the permanent system is being installed.
What documents do we receive at handover?
As-built layout drawings, component certificates (including the Groxx Certificate of Compliance), installation and test records, user instructions and the recommended inspection schedule.
