The Challenges of Façade Access for Living Wall Maintenance

In the world of urban landscaping, green roofs, living walls, and green façades have become popular features. However, they require consistent attention, starting from the design phase. Post-installation maintenance is crucial to ensure they are safe for building occupiers, visitors and nearby pedestrians. Along with greenery, support systems such as irrigation, drainage, and waterproofing systems need regular inspection and maintenance. Therefore, hands-on, efficient access is crucial for the maintenance of living walls and other green installations.
