New Construction

Revolutionizing Vertical Logistics

The patented Brunkeberg® System adds vertical rails to the exterior facade of a building, providing a turnkey method for faster, safer panel installation and material handling on construction sites. The vertical rails enable safe installation of double size panorama windows, automated cleaning and upgrades.

The Brunkeberg System not only makes facade installation faster and safer, it frees up building site resources such as ground space and lifting resources, reduces trash and debris, and eliminates interior storage requirements for exterior panels. The Brunkeberg System can reduce the entire project construction sequence program/schedule by several months.

  • Oversized glazed façade panels
  • Cost savings
  • Automated installation system
  • System expansion including window cleaning and marketing banners
  • Sequential lean construction
  • Less environmental impact

Engineering

Specific Benefits
  • Integrated logistic solution plus our containers, capable of delivering all building materials
  • Semi-automatic system which is fully scalable
  • Dedicated own lifting system
  • Secure lifting - can lift façade elements and containers in windy conditions
  • Minimum need for “on slab” intermediate storage capacity means floors are clear and material logistics can be substantially improved

Brunkeberg has developed a novel solution to effectively address one of the biggest deficiencies that has plagued the mid- and high-rise construction industry for more than a century. The ability to introduce cost and logistic efficiencies to panel installation and maintenance is a true game changer.

Our Solution is

Faster

Save Months
  • Faster glass panel installation time
  • Less facade installation staff
  • Faster panel offloading time
The Brunkeberg system not only makes facade installation faster and safer. It frees up building site resources such as ground space and lifting resources. This means the entire program can be reduced by several months

Safer

Track secured access
  • Less weather dependence
  • Less damage, less labor
  • Less health & safety risks
The integrated vertical tracks are used for safe access throughout the life cycle of the building, providing benefits for installation, maintenance as well as for facade replacement. And reduces damage and delays due to wind.

smarter

Multifunctional tracks
  • Automated facade cleaning
  • Banner advertising
  • Architectural design
The tracks of the Brunkeberg system enables a wide range of services and such as automated cleaning, easier upgrades, advertising services. There are also tracks for attaching architectural features like sun shading or solar panels

Re-cladding

Facade Replacement with less tenant disturbance

Every curtain wall eventually reaches a point when it needs to be replaced due to ageing, safety risks or a need to reduce repair costs. Other significant factors are to use more energy efficient facades which will lower co2 emissions as mandated by new regulations. 

Facade replacement typically means the building needs to be vacated for a substantial period of time, and the tenants need to be relocated at tremendous cost and inconvenience. With The Brunkeberg® System, this inconvenience is minimised as the re-clad process works floor by floor.

Debris, glass and metal from the old curtain wall are returned on the exterior of the building using our track system. This makes removal and recycling more cost effective, faster and safer.

More than just a render

800kg glass panels installed in minutes

Internally referred to as the Örebro Technical Facility this building is the new Scandinavian headquarters for KTM Motorcycles. 

Here we gave a live demonstration of the Brunkeberg System to over 150 guests showcasing how just two men could distribute and instal 800kg glass panels in less than 5 minutes per panel. 

Other Services

What further sets Brunkeberg apart from the competition and potentially turns the company into a real game-changer is that once the unique Brunkeberg Wind Post has been installed, this opens limitless opportunities to apply Brunkeberg’s value-add solutions. 

These can drastically simplify construction logistics, lower lifecycle costs for buildings through services such as automated window cleaning, make maintenance more efficient, provide energy savings and, in the end, allow for truly unique ways of re-cladding (refurbishing) old façade:

The Brunkeberg Automated Facade Cleaner AFC:

A sustainable energy efficient surface cleaning system that utilizes the installed Brunkeberg rail structure. It's driven by gravity, operating without dependence on any external supply of water, chemicals and power.

Compared to traditional facade cleaning systems, the Brunkeberg AFC will allow for faster and more efficient cleaning system.

The Brunkeberg Rail Hanging System (RHS):

This unique system utilizes the installed Brunkeberg rail system for hanging banners directly on the facade for advertising, installation of sunscreen systems, photovoltaic systems, etc.

The Brunkeberg Sliding Wall:

With traditional building methods, construction work is often delayed due to bad weather. Utilizing the Brunkeberg Sliding Wall, the contractor doing interior work on any given floor can easily continue working without any interruption from changing weather conditions, nor risk of damage to expensive materials or machinery.

The Sustainable Choice

Brunkeberg Systems AB is committed to be part of lean construction which contributes to lowering global CO2 emissions within the building industry.

Sustainability
Lean Construction Principles
Construction projects have phases, beginning with design and ending with final inspection. Each stakeholder performs their function as assigned by contract. In lean construction, the focus shifts from individual stakeholders focused solely on their individual roles to all participants working as a team. When applying lean construction principles, the project takes on extra dimensions as participants consider its entire life cycle when deciding what to build and how to build it. With the Brunkeberg logistics system, construction logistics will become leaner and more efficient, thus reducing energy and waste. Combining our logistics system with our facade system produces a faster, safer, and smarter integrated re-cladding or new cladding system which results in a more sustainable building.
Flow of Work Processes

The ideal state of a lean construction project is a continuous, uninterrupted workflow that is reliable and predictable. The sequence is key in construction. With Brunkeberg’s track system and logistical off-loading stations, flow of work will increase and become more efficient, hence, saving time, materials, and money.

Working with the right materials

Brunkeberg will strive to work with manufactures such as Lindner SE which uses aluminum produced in Norway and Iceland with least environmental impact.
