Abstract
The dramatic profile of the Bank of China building - looming over the Hong Kong skyline has given rise to many avenues of speculation. One of them has certainly focused on the apparently thorny problem of window cleaning - just how does a glass - walled structure of such configuration resolve its external cleaning needs? The answer was presented in a paper at the Ibex'89 conference, last year in Hong Kong, when Equicon Enterprises Inc, of Canada, presented their paper on this issue. (Equicon have been selected as the consultants for this service, to the Bank).
