Covid-19: We keep working under the most strict health and safety protocols
Our Window Cleaning staff has the certifications for Work at Height, according to the NOM-009-STPS-2011. We work with BMUs or doing rope access, depending of the needs of the building.
We use first class tools and materials. Our specialists in window cleaning use techniques that ensure quality cleaning and help to prolong the life of the facades.
Cleaning at heights is difficult not only for the risk, but also because it is more complex the correct application of coatings. Our experience and sophisticated equipment solves this problem.
When the sealing loses adhesiveness water leaking starts. In buildings that operate with air conditioning, it also can represent a greater power consumption to maintain certain temperatures.
Our staff is specialized in the manipulation and installation of windows at heights.
Our equipment and trained staff allow us to guarantee that there won't be any damage during installation.
We use water pressure equipment to clean the walls of a building to remove impurities.
In some occasions is needed to elevate some type of material or equipment, such as supports. We have the specialized equipment to perform this type of task.
The current regulations make mandatory to signal possible aeronautical obstacles. We have the knowledge and experience to abide to the regulation.
The structural system that holds up this type of facade loosens up with time and needs adjusting to maintain the necessary tension.
Is a specialized inspection of the cable system that supports a dome in order to ensure an optimal tension.
To make safe rope access is necessary to use anchors that meet with the standards for guaranteeing the safety of the staff.
We have elevation systems and a lot of experience performing this type of work.
We can prune trees, with all the necessary permits, using our aerial platforms. Our staff can do the work using both hands, without risking any safety procedure.
Natural bristle brushes, master and professional helmet.
Certified suspension chairs, static and anti-static ropes.
Life line, descender and professional carabiners, used for rope access.
EnTEC® follows a technical procedure to inspect the grade of the hardness of residues adhered during the tempered glass process. This particles are microscopic and are the cause for the scratching of the windows through the cleaning process. If our clients require it we can perform this inspection to determine the integrity of the window and avoid complications.
It might be easy to think that to do window cleaning only requires water and soap, that is what several providers use, indeed, but is not that simple. We use detergents designed for each type of surface. The most common is the biodegradable alkaline detergent for crystal surfaces; it is highly effective removing grease, dust and stains off the glass and even aluminium.
To clean facades we use portable equipment that filters in 5 steps the water sourced from the public water systems or water tanks, removing up to 99.9% of the dissolved solids in it. In this way, we avoid using chemical agents and can guarantee a high-quality cleaning.
One advantage of this procedure is that it avoids the stains caused by evaporated droplets, even in direct sunlight, providing our staff with enough time to apply and remove the water and detergent without leaving traces. Even more, our window cleaning technicians use natural soft bristle brushes with complete absorption that prevent leaking and waste of material. In each cleaning event we use the best window cleaning equipment that is replaced when they start to leave lines in the removal of soap, well before that it could scratch the window, ensuring its integrity.
Every Building Administrator defines the frequency of window cleaning depending on the institutional image or the tenant's requirements.
Nevertheless, it's important to consider other aspects, as the inlaying of solid residues on the glass; the gradual vanishing of dye or xerography; the degradation of window sealings, vinyl and other materials that are in contact with the glass, and even the rusting of elements, such as aluminium and steel.
This will determine the maintenance frequency and the overall life cycle of the facade. A conclusive fact is that the highest frequency of cleaning will result in less degradation and inlay of residues.
Any substance that leaks because of corrosion, silicon breakdown, adhesive on tape or applied and that is not removed immediately, will be adhered to the glass, in some cases to the molecular level.
We have Mobile Elevating Working Platforms (MEWPS) to elevate personnel with telecopic and articulated arms, that allow to provide inmediate attention to difficult height access sites.
Avoids the necessity to use tower type scaffolding.
This equipment is designed to go through standard doors and move over delicate floor.
Our personnel is certified under the DC-3 Labor Skills for Work at Height established on the NOM-009-STPS-2011, which our company helped define as members of the working group coordinated by the Labor Ministry.
To provide services, our specialists use personal protection equipment, such as a helmet for work at height, full-body harness, personal life line, gloves and glasses (if needed), waterproof boots with non-skid soles, uniform and tools developed by us, such as telephone wire bracelets that hold the cleaning tools, avoiding the danger of an object falling.
Our supervisors implement all the cleaning procedures, with an emphasis on safety and quality in all height access activities.
They are responsible for registering all the work and progress made each day and to attend the specific needs of each client.
Our organizational structure allows for frequent visits by the Services manager and by the Safety and Occupational Hygiene area, that holds the highest hierarchy in the company.
We are experts in Height Access services, as providers of the safest and more efficient height access solutions on the market and with specialists that use rope access procedures promoted and aproved by the International Window Cleaning Association (IWCA) and other international organisms.
Our anchor points for rope access are certified to hold up to 22 kN
(kilonewtons) en efforts in any direction, according to ANSI, OSHA y CE standards.
