Alimak Service delivers premium refurbishment solutions for the building maintenance units at International Place, Boston

 As the chosen service provider for Alimak Group products, Alimak Service offers premium service and support solutions for Manntech building maintenance units. The highly-trained BMU specialists at Alimak Service recently utilised their expertise to carry out a refurbishment of a building maintenance unit at International Place, Boston.

Standing at a height of 180 metres, International Place has become one of Boston’s most recognisable complexes since its construction in 1987. After thirty years of providing efficient facade access, the electrical systems of one of the building maintenance units was evaluated and found to require refurbishment. With a team of specialists trained in the refurbishment of Manntech building maintenance units, Alimak Service was the ideal service provider to carry out the refurbishment.

The project entailed an overhaul of the building maintenance unit’s electrical system and a complete replacement of the platform controls and componentry of the equipment for both building maintenance units on the two-tower complex. The electrical components of the building maintenance unit were also updated with modern Verta software for innovative data-driven operations designed to optimise the efficiency of the equipment. The refurbishment also provided the Alimak Service team with the opportunity to conduct test drops and to replace the wire ropes to increase the safety of all future building maintenance unit operations. Renowned across the vertical access industry for their exchange programs of Alimak parts, Alimak Service is also able to provide wire rope replacements for Manntech and CoxGomyl building maintenance units.

Further to the refurbishment solutions, the stakeholders at International Place also entered into a continuing maintenance agreement with Alimak Service to reap the benefits of regular services and maintenance carried out by specialist BMU technicians. The complete range of service and support solutions from Alimak Service is available for owners and operators of vertical access equipment across Alimak Group. Service and maintenance solutions are available for Avanti wind turbine service lifts and Avanti parts, Alimak elevators and Alimak parts, and building maintenance units. The service and support solutions available from Alimak Service are also accompanied by a range of training solutions to promote best practices across the vertical access industry.
