Urban skylines are becoming increasingly populated with high-rise buildings that challenge architectural boundaries. The complexity of skyscraper design proportionally increases the intricacy of maintenance operations, highlighting the growing necessity to prioritize the well-being of workers tasked with the longevity of these structures. π˜ˆπ˜›π˜“π˜ˆπ˜š Anchor Systems safeguards these employees through its comprehensive fall protection solutions and building maintenance units (BMUs) for new and retrofit residential, commercial, and institutional building construction.

Marking its 30th anniversary, π˜ˆπ˜›π˜“π˜ˆπ˜š has established itself as the leading fall protection company in Canada and the West Coast of the US. The firm’s acclaim stems from its role as a construction consultant following a rare practice of providing its clients with complete solutions. This includes designing, engineering, installing, supplying, and certifying exterior building maintenance and fall protection systems. These comprehensive solutions comprise a wide range of products like anchors, Davit systems, building maintenance units (BMUs), and monorails.
β€œWe focus on delivering turnkey solutions that cover all products required for a project in one place rather than individually selling products,” says Daniel F.Chen, P.Eng. FEC, President of π˜ˆπ˜›π˜“π˜ˆπ˜š Anchor Systems.

Its engineers and designers also assist clients in determining the apt fall protection solution and provide detailed layouts of specified product placement on buildings. This allows architects and builders to streamline their construction and maintenance planning, as well as equipment acquisition, before beginning the project, providing a cost-effective alternative.

Chen’s extensive engineering expertise is crucial in the design-build process for robust solutions. In addition, the firm’s constant product line expansion has proven pivotal in enabling multiple clients to effectively protect their maintenance employees, regardless of building infrastructure complexity. This fact is prominently displayed in the annals of organizational history.

Originally established as a manufacturer and supplier of anchors, π˜ˆπ˜›π˜“π˜ˆπ˜š quickly redirected its focus on delivering complete solutions by strategically partnering with top equipment suppliers to stay ahead in the construction industry. One such notable example of this alliance is demonstrated through the firm’s collaboration with several leading global equipment suppliers like Manntech, and NoRaCon.

These crucial efforts, coupled with its commitment to prioritizing the safety of construction workers, have been instrumental in garnering positive feedback and fostering strong client relationships. The firm’s dedication is further evidenced by its proactive approach to viewing competition and obstacles as growth opportunities.

π˜ˆπ˜›π˜“π˜ˆπ˜šβ€™s proactive stance towards viewing competition and challenges as growth opportunities is evident in notable client acquisitions. An illustrative example is the collaboration with Concord Pacific – one of the biggest community developers in North America, where the company’s approach of proposing and delivering monorail systems for the ARC building project in Vancouver led to a long-term collaboration.

As a technical committee member of Canada Standard Association (CSA) Z259, π˜ˆπ˜›π˜“π˜ˆπ˜š actively contributes to the development of industry standards. The active involvement has helped the firm to proactively raise the bar for innovative and cost-efficient solutions, thereby reinforcing its commitment to the safety of construction workers. This dedication is a vital factor for π˜ˆπ˜›π˜“π˜ˆπ˜šβ€™s title as a leader in the fall protection industry, consistently delivering high-quality solutions that cater to the complexities of the evolving construction landscape.
