The first elevator was invented in ancient times. And today it is very difficult to imagine multi -story houses, especially new buildings without this miracle of technology. Modern elevators are almost silent, fast and safe compared to their “ancestors”. Not only the correct operation of the entire design depends on their installation, but also the safety of passengers, as well as those who are in close proximity to the elevator.
So, how the passenger elevator in new buildings should be installed correctly?
The choice of elevator for the developer is dictated, first of all, the ratio of price-quality. The higher the class of the new building, the more carefully the developers choose the manufacturer and take into account certain characteristics of the elevator. The presence of such a type of elevator as a cargo elevator is considered not a luxury in modern houses, but by the norm. However, let’s talk about the installation of elevator structures. When developing a new building project, it is natural that the elevator structure fits into the project in advance. The higher the number of storeys, the more the cabin and the elevator shaft should be – this is to ensure reliability and additional safety parameters.
The easiest method for installing an elevator structure is the method of large blocks. It is used when the process of building the house is not yet completed, the elevator shaft is not blocked, there is free access to it. In this case, especially large blocks (for example, a finished cabin or lifting device, or sections of the elevator shaft) are made at the factory and delivered to the construction site of the lifting crane. This is the easiest way to install.
However, when the house has already been almost built, the installation method can be applied to the element, that is, smaller blocks and structural elements. In this case, the elevator cabin can consist of several parts, you need to install the shaft blocks, collect the structure of the lifting winch. The assembly of the elements is carried out on the spot.
The last installation method is tubing. It is appropriate when the house is built poetry. In this case, a tubing is installed with each floor – a section of the elevator of the size of one floor. The choice of the correct method of installing the elevator is usually dictated by the construction method and its stage.
