Plan analysis
A thorough analysis of your plans by our specialists allows for the early detection of costly errors and the optimization of each project before construction even begins.
• Anticipate non-conformities
• Validate building responses
• Evaluate at-risk elements from certain suppliers
• Verify B44 code requirements
• Detect omissions to avoid additional costs (work platforms, special access, high heights)
• Ensure the identification and correct allocation of elements supplied by other trades
Calculations
Through targeted structural assessments, we ensure that each component meets safety standards and current code requirements.
• Addition of new components
• Missing parts on site
• Second-guessing of elements whose compliance you doubt
• Finite element calculations (Nastran)
• Our in-house tools ensure fast calculations compliant with the B44 standard
Change of use
System adaptations may be required when usage conditions evolve.
• Capacity increase
• Speed increase
• Class change
• New opening
• Travel increase
• Heavy interior finish
Critical elements
Overlooking the structural impact of the elevator can compromise the integrity of the building — a focused evaluation of critical elements is essential.
• Ensure that the correct forces are communicated to the building’s structural engineer
• Access to the shaft complies with standards
• Ventilation, lights, outlets, switches, and electrical supply
• Water drainage into the pit
• Structural fixations
Conception
A design tailored to the complexity and diversity of on-site challenges.
• Design of devices customized to the specific needs of an industrial client
• Custom finishes, colors, and accessories
• Missing parts, partial design
Specialized consultants to guide you through your elevator and freight lift projects
Specifications
Drafting a technical specification formalizes the project’s functional, structural, and regulatory parameters from the earliest stages.
• Establishing the right level of importance for safety, which is often overlooked
• Emphasis on performance and aesthetics
• Preparing quotes tailored to your needs
• No unnecessary elements
• Priority given to durable and reliable solutions
Technical support
High-quality technical support is often a key factor in the successful execution of a project.
• Support to guide your decisions
• Coordination with the architect and structural engineer to facilitate the elevator’s integration into the building
• Support for your projects on site
• Answers to your technical questions
Modernisation
A successful modernization is based on a clear understanding of current performance, structural constraints, and code requirements.
• Renovations focused on the essentials
• Creative solutions to optimize costs
• Customized improvements tailored to your needs
New constructions
Technical integration of elevators during the design phase, in line with the project’s constraints.
• Effective and sustainable solutions
• Ensure that the appropriate feedback is provided to the building’s structural engineer
• Coordinate with the architect and structural engineer to facilitate the elevator’s integration into the building
• Provide full or partial support as needed
• Pre-installation construction inspection
Code analysis
Technical support for the targeted analysis of B44 code articles relevant to your project challenges.
• Verification of new standards in force
• Validation of existing installations
• Simplified interpretation
