Installing elevators in old buildings and installing elevators in existing buildings

In recent years, many residential communities in Beijing, Nanjing, and Guangzhou have successfully installed elevators in old buildings and achieved good social benefits. The installation of elevators in existing old buildings has attracted more and more people’s attention and hopes to promote important popular projects. What are the characteristics of installing elevators in old buildings? Below, Shandong Bolt Elevator Co., Ltd. will share with you the plan of installing elevators in an old building for your reference. This project adopts the method of installing elevators in gallery bridge type according to the characteristics of the building and the surrounding environment.

1. Design instructions for installing elevators in old buildings:

① The old building is a brick-concrete structure, and it faces south from the north, so the elevator room and the gallery bridge can be installed in the north of the house, and it can be separated from the building a certain distance;

②The brick wall of the windows of the pedestrian stairwell was cut and enlarged to form a doorway to the gallery bridge and elevator;

③Use the windows on the outer wall of the old building's pedestrian stairs to open the door opening to the gallery bridge, and the residents on each floor walk the half-story stairs to enter the gallery bridge;

④The design adopts a shared gallery bridge for the 2nd and 3rd floors, a shared gallery bridge for the 3rd and 4th floors... and so on.

2. The advantages of using the gallery bridge method to install elevators

① The corridor-style installation of elevators can adopt 2 units or 3 units of household elevators, which saves elevator costs compared with the current installation of 1 unit with 1 elevator;

②The structure of the bridge is simple and the construction cost is low;

③The gallery bridge and elevator room are built in the north of the building, and railings are used to protect the safety of pedestrians, which has little impact on the lighting of the building;

④No adverse effects on fire protection.
