Lift Retrofit
Modernization
Find out whether the proposed number, capacity and speed of your elevators are appropriate for your building before you finalise the lift system.
Lift quantity, capacity and speed should be considered against the expected passenger demand of the building.
Higher passenger demand can result in increased waiting and crowding during peak periods.
A lift can physically fit the building while still providing less passenger handling capacity than the project requires.
Speed should be considered together with travel height, stops, passenger demand and traffic pattern.
Enter your building's floors, population and lift information to get a preliminary indication of the vertical transportation requirement.
We don't look at lift capacity in isolation. The assessment considers the relationship between the building and its vertical transportation system.
Residents, employees, visitors or other expected users.
Number of floors, stops and travel height.
Assessment of the number of elevators for the project scenario.
Passenger capacity relative to expected demand.
Speed consideration based on height and traffic requirements.
Travel, stops, door operation and passenger exchange factors.
Estimated passenger handling during the selected peak period.
Assessment of lift interval and passenger waiting conditions.
Up-peak, down-peak, two-way and project-specific traffic.
Lift grouping and zoning considerations where applicable.
Applicable vertical transportation provisions and traffic planning principles can be considered together with the building's occupancy and intended use.
The relevant vertical transportation and traffic-planning principles of NBC 2016 can be considered as part of the assessment, together with project-specific inputs. The analysis is an independent technical service and does not replace statutory approvals, inspections or authority requirements applicable to a particular project.
The objective is to give your project team a clear technical basis for the next step.
Larger residences and small developments requiring lift planning input.
Existing lift capacity and passenger-demand assessment.
Lift quantity and capacity planning before tendering.
Vertical transportation input during design and planning.
Offices, commercial and mixed-use buildings.
Passenger and specialised movement considerations.
Guest movement and peak traffic considerations.
Independent reference for evaluating lift proposals.
Floors, occupancy, drawings and lift information.
Project data is checked for analysis.
Passenger demand and lift parameters are assessed.
Findings and assumptions are documented.
Understand the results and implications.
Start small for a preliminary review or choose a detailed project assessment for larger and more complex buildings.
They answer different questions.
| Question | Traffic Analysis | Lift Quotation |
|---|---|---|
| How many lifts? | Assesses project requirement | Proposes supplier configuration |
| What capacity? | Evaluates against demand | Provides quoted capacity |
| What speed? | Considers building and traffic factors | Provides proposed lift speed |
| Compare quotations? | Creates an independent reference point | Shows one supplier's solution |
| Before supplier selection? | Yes | Normally part of supplier selection |
Share your building details, drawings or existing lift information with Volo. We'll review the requirement and recommend the appropriate level of independent analysis.
