Lifts are an integral and essential part of many buildings. There is nothing worse than waiting too long for a lift or for it not being able to carry enough people at peak times causing delays and bottlenecks in areas of a building. Our experts analyse a building’s transport needs, they look at how many people will use the lifts at different time of the day, travel times through the building and if a building needs an escape lift. An escape lift is also used by firefighters who need to be able to travel quickly and safely with all their equipment to the site of a fire, especially in a high-rise building.
Our engineers ensure that your building’s vertical transport needs are integrated into our MEP design service. We understand the ventilation requirements for car lifts; we understand the requirements for lift motor rooms that need to be ventilated and cooled; we also understand the need to incorporate any design elements into our calculations that could affect the weight of a lift, for example interior finishes like marble in high-end residential apartments. At Whitecode, our seamless, integrated approach means clients look to us for all their building services needs including their Vertical Transport requirements.
