Existing Lifts and Escalator SolutionsDefining

  • Traffic analysis – Whether an old system needs replacing or just upgrading can sometimes be determined simply by calculation. In some cases changes in code or access requirements mean that new performance levels may need consideration. We provide the necessary calculations and recommendations.
  • We offer interpretation of what is reasonable regarding DDA access within your existing building.
  • Building interface requirements – We advise on consequential effects when changing or upgrading lift and escalator systems. We take into consideration the dimensional changes as well as changes to the loads on the building, power requirements, ventilation and access routes.
  • Best suited equipment identification – With existing equipment this is critical. There are a multitude of upgrade and enhancement products available in the market place. We select the correct product and ensure that it is compatible with your equipment to provide the very best hybrid solution of new and old.

Managing

  • Competitive tender facilitation – We select the most suitable suppliers with both the resources and skills to provide the required equipment.
  • Work Environment Management – We manage the work area in existing buildings very carefully. This can often be within an occupied building. We maintain good relations with the building population and ensure that the unfamiliar environment has strong health and safety control. Our focused project management will minimise the duration and disruption of the work.
  • Order Management – After placement of order it is always important to review with suppliers their progress against agreed targets through the manufacture, delivery, installation and test phases of a project. Identifying any potential delay early can allow recovery and minimise any consequential effects.

Reviewing

  • Witness testing
  • Final report writing – We provide a report conforming compliance to requested specification, code and certification combined with confirmation that the equipment is operating to the desired performance standards.
