From feasibility through to final inspection, we provide independent, expert guidance at every stage of your vertical transportation project.
Most lifts require major modernisation every 15 to 25 years. The scope of the works should improve safety and reliability, and can be an opportunity to improve performance and ride quality. Get it right and it will be a prudent investment; get it wrong and it can be an expensive mistake.
Performance specifications, traffic analysis reports, feasibility studies, BREEAM reports, and value engineering reports. We ensure you get the vertical transportation your building requires, specified to the highest standard.
We act as Principal Designer for vertical transportation projects under the CDM 2015 regulations. Our services are customised to meet the specific needs of each client, ensuring your responsibilities under CDM 2015 are fulfilled.
As Authorising Engineers (Lifts), we assist with portfolio management, maintenance contract development, site audits, and inspections. We ensure you are getting the service you are paying for and that it is the service you need.
Condition surveys, dilapidation surveys, reliability reports, maintenance audits, emergency LOLER reports, and ongoing LOLER report management. Thorough, independent assessments you can rely upon.
Full project management from tender analysis to final inspections and end of DLP inspections. We also deliver emergency release training and lift steward training for your operational teams.
