Building Maintenance and Facade cleaning services in Gurgaon: In the rapidly evolving urban landscape of Gurgaon, the facade of a building is not merely an architectural statement but a vital aspect of its overall health and functionality. The external appearance of a building significantly influences first impressions, property value, and the well-being of its occupants. Understanding this, AKS Facilities steps in as your trusted partner, offering expert facade cleaning services in Gurgaon, ensuring your building not only matches the city’s dynamic skyline but also surpasses expectations in durability and safety.
Elevating Building Maintenance Standards
The upkeep of a building’s facade goes beyond superficial aesthetics. It is an integral component of building maintenance that ensures longevity, safety, and energy efficiency. Regular and thorough facade inspections are crucial in identifying potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs. AKS Facilities, with its comprehensive facade cleaning services in Gurgaon, embodies the essence of proactive building maintenance.
AKS Facilities offers professional facade cleaning services throughout Gurgaon, which meet the strictest safety standards. Unlike many cleaning companies that simply provide aesthetic care, AKS provides cleaning methodology that preserves the integrity of your building’s facade while meeting safety compliance standards.
Environmental Challenges in Gurgaon
Building exteriors in Gurgaon are affected by the region’s unique geography and rapid urban development, and standard cleaning methods simply will not suffice for your cleaning contract. Facade cleaning companies must develop a comprehensive cleaning plan that accommodates the cleaning needs of these factors which include:
-
Construction-related Dust and PM10: The current state of ongoing constructions occurring throughout the proposed development of New Gurgaon (Sectors 80-110) has created an environment where ultra-fine dust is able to penetrate the surface of stone, and settle into the voids and crevices of your building’s ACP panels.
-
Carbon Soot: Carbon soot generated by both industrial and automobile emissions in Udyog Vihar create an oily, greasy layer of residue that has settled on glass surfaces and requires a specialized chemical emulsifier to clean this residue from your building’s façade.
-
Hard Water Scale: Many cleaning contractors operating throughout Gurgaon utilize municipal water for cleaning, which does not filter out hard water minerals; thus deposits the minerals (calcium) after cleaning, which can eventually etch the glass surfaces of your building’s façade.
-
Biological Growth: After the Delhi-NCR monsoon, the increased moisture creates the ideal conditions for biological growth on stone cladding and the shaded areas of buildings.
High-Access Cleaning Techniques
We use different high-access cleaning techniques depending on the type of structure you’re working on.
1. Rope Access facade cleaning
Rope access is by far the most effective way to clean the towers in Gurgaon. Our rope access technicians are trained to use double-rope systems that let them clean hard-to-reach areas that would otherwise require a scaffolding or other methods.
2. BMUs & Cradle Systems
AKS Facilities has years of experience operating BMUs and cleaning with suspended cradles. Before our technicians begin to clean at heights, we carry out extensive pre-operation safety checks on the equipment to ensure that the BMU has been mechanically sound.
3. Telescopic Water-Fed Poles
For mid-rise retail showrooms and boutique office spaces (5 stories or less), we utilize advanced telescoping water-fed pole systems that enable our technicians to clean from the ground using deionized water. As a result, our cleaning process leaves no streaks on the glass, as it does not require heavy construction equipment.
Material-Specific Protocols
We recognize that there is no “one size fits all” solution for cleaning fluids. We develop and document specific cleaning protocols based on the material type of your building’s exterior:
-
Glass Curtain Walls: We apply squeegee techniques using anti-static cleaners, while for other materials, we utilize appropriate non-toxic cleaners based on their respective specifications.
-
Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP): These need careful pressure management to avoid indentations when cleaned, and pH-neutral cleaning solutions must be used in order to maintain the original brilliance of the panels.
-
Stone and Marble: These need to be cleaned without using abrasive cleaning products in order to remove environmental stains while maintaining their natural textures.
Commitment to Safety
AKS Facilities has made a commitment to zero compromises on safety. Working at heights is a high-risk area and we mitigate this through a strict safety framework:
-
HIRA (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment): All sites undergo a risk assessment prior to commencing work on-site.
-
Certified Equipment: All carabiners, descenders and ropes are industrial-strength and are tested regularly for compliance with safety standards.
-
Comprehensive Insurance: We maintain complete Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance for our customers and employees.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How often should facades in Gurgaon be cleaned? A: Minimum two deep cleans should take place per year at a minimum. Ideally, you would have one after peak dust season (March/April), and the other after monsoon season (September/October), as this will prevent algae and mineral buildup.
Q: Does cleaning aid in maintaining a building? A: Yes, by regularly cleaning, we can identify hairline fractures in glass, sealant failures, and beginning corrosion; this saves you lakhs in repair costs later.
