The curved building had a roof with no space for a BMU. The low height of the building meant that a machine on the ground could access the façade. Dunbar and Boardman’s solution was to use a Mobile Elevating Work Platform. The concept was that a cherry picker would run around the HQ on a path that was coordinated with the surrounding landscape. Parking of the cherry picker was fixed as per the client’s requirement.
