Airdeck produces a wide range of Davits, designed to accommodate factors like roof loads parapet height, roof type and other such considerations. Each Davit has been engineered to fulfill the access requirement of the building. The Airdeck Davits are custom designed and extruded out of aluminium grade 6063, which makes them light weight, strong and allow simple, fast and effective cleaning of building with plain façades. Being light weight, portable, capable of being easily and quickly dismantled into pieces, the
Davits can be safely used for high-rise buildings Upto 150 Mts.
This is the step-wise procedure of how we install Airdeck Davits:
1
Identify all roof levels. Make window locations or other areas requiring access on the architectural roof plan drawings.
2
Examine building elevations or other drawings to identify any setbacks recesses or other unusual features.
3
Examine building section details to assess construction of parapet wall mechanical room wall of roof assembly as necessary.
4
Examine roof structural drawings for possible anchorage locations. Typically davit bases are anchored to concrete structural roof slabs, the steel super structure or similar elements.
5
Check if window/ façade locations are occasional or sporadic, to determine if windows can be cleaned using ‘Solsit’. In determining davit base placement, consider the range of motion that can be obtained from a rotating
davit arm. The davit arm platform pick up point should maintain a 610 mm outreach beyond the face of the building considering the range of motion that can be obtained from a davit arm.
6
If it is more practical to clean & maintain façade using a platform as in the case of continuous windows or curtain wall, davit should be located to suit various platform lengths of 3 Meterts to 5 Meters.
If a permanent powered platform is required davits should be located to suit building configuration with as few platform lengths as possible. . There is a provision for additional davits, in case permanent powered cradles are shifted to different levels of the building.
7
Locate davit bases approximately 610 mm away from inside face of parapet.
Generally Airdeck Davits are economical & practical for all new or retrofit buildings where an extended reach is required, In addition to façade cleaning application, Airdeck Davits are recommended for works such as:
1
Construction or general exterior suspended maintenance that may include restoration, cleaning, & painting.
2
Hoisting of materials to the roof of building where elevator access to the roof may be unsafe or impractical.
