Lift Replacement Engineering Process
The company developed an engineering process for replacing individual elevator components in a listed building without removing the entire lift or compromising the historic structure. The project involved introducing minimally invasive techniques to maintain the building's structural integrity during removal and installation.
A key challenge was creating a temporary works system that provided safe access to the top of the lift shaft, enabling old components to be removed through a small opening and 300 kg of new infrastructure to be lowered into place. This work aimed to advance industry knowledge on modernising lifts in heritage buildings using techniques that could be repeated on future projects.
