ÖAMTC Vienna and Innotech

INNOTECH is integrated in this major project with 636 metres of TAURUS rail solutions, 114 metres of BARRIER safety railing, 128 metres AIO horizontal lifeline system and more than 50 abseil points. This means that INNOTECH has almost its entire product portfolio installed in this spectacular building, both inside and out.

Extensive work safety expertise is especially important on such complex roof constructions like this five-fingered shape. Through economical planning and custom development down to the finest detail, INNOTECH provides an ALLinONE service. As a result, the ÖAMTC headquarters is not only an aesthetic highlight, but it also guarantees the safety of all those who will venture to great heights in the future for cleaning and maintenance work, through its partner, INNOTECH.
 

A very special TAURUS rail curvature

For the cleaning of the windows on the Ring-facing façade, the TAURUS rails were mounted so that they are practically invisible to the naked eye against the building’s exterior. A specially curved track was constructed in order to flawlessly follow the unique five-finger shape of the building. Additional custom pieces developed here include the TAURUS rail connectors and the special rail fastenings. The inconspicuous elements underscore the building’s elegant look and architectural aesthetics.
 

Flawless cleaning thanks to the AIO lifeline system

As an optimal addition to the TAURUS rails, other roof surfaces were outfitted with AIO lifeline systems complete with reinforced abseil eyes in order to enable continuous and safe travel throughout the entire building. Inside, in the atrium, TAURUS’ multifacetedness makes it shine, providing safety during maintenance and cleaning of the ÖAMTC complex’s unusual façade construction – the 30-metre high LED façade and the wavy atrium glass façade – and making it look easy.
