1. Pre-Installation Requirements for Elevators
First, accurate elevator design drawings are required
Elevator design drawings must fully depict the locations and dimensions of all components of the elevator. This serves as the “guiding star” to ensure smooth and safe installation by the technicians.
An accurate design drawing should provide the following information:
- Dimensions of the shaft, machine room, and elevator cabin
- Dimensions and locations of the landing doors
- Locations of the components and equipment
Second, the construction supervision department checks the specifications against the design drawings
The supervision department is responsible for checking the progress and results of the construction areas, including the elevator shaft, pit, machine room, and landing doors. Ensuring absolute accuracy is crucial because any deviations can lead to serious consequences such as:
- Installation difficulties: Incorrect shaft dimensions can hinder the installation of equipment, possibly requiring the entire project to be redesigned.
- Extended timelines: Work cannot proceed while waiting for redesigns.
- Increased costs: Additional costs will arise depending on the contract and responsibilities of both parties.
Third, prepare the site for the delivery of materials
The installation area should be cleared of obstacles to ensure safety during the handling and transportation of elevator components. Proper site preparation also protects the property of the investor and contractor, preventing unnecessary damages during construction. Once the elevator equipment is delivered to the site, it must be inspected for quantity, model, type, and standards before installation.
Fourth, prepare three-phase electricity for the machine room
All modern elevators operate on three-phase electricity to take advantage of its benefits. Only the homeowner can apply for the necessary approval for three-phase electricity.
For information on the procedures for applying for three-phase electricity, you can refer to: [Guide to Register for Three-Phase Electricity]
2. Standard Elevator Installation Process at Atvin
To ensure stable, smooth, durable, and safe elevator operation, Atvin follows a 13-step standard installation process. You can watch the video: [here]
Step 1: Receive and inspect the quality of elevator components and materials
The quality of the components directly affects the stable, smooth, durable, and safe operation of the elevator. Under the supervision of the project investor, the equipment department hands over all components and equipment for elevator installation to the team leader. The quantity and quality are checked and confirmed.
Step 2: Place warnings on all floors, install guide frames, and secure safety lines
To ensure safety for residents and technicians, place danger signs and set up barriers at the construction site. Accurate alignment and measurement are necessary using tools like plumb bobs and measuring tapes.
Step 3: Install the working platform
The working platform is where elevator engineers will carry out the installation. The platform must meet electrical and structural safety requirements.
Step 4: Install the overspeed governor
Safety devices are critical in elevator installation. The overspeed governor ensures the elevator operates within a safe speed range. If the elevator exceeds this speed, the governor will bring it back to a safe level.
Step 5: Install guide rails
Guide rails ensure the cabin and counterweight move correctly within the shaft. This task requires absolute precision for stable, smooth, durable, and safe elevator operation.
Step 6: Install the machine room, including the traction machine, control panel, and protective cover
Set up and configure the control panel parameters.
Step 7: Install the counterweight
The counterweight helps the cabin move smoothly in both directions, with and without load, moving in the opposite direction to the cabin.
Step 8: Install the cabin
The cabin installation includes setting up the floor frame (with safety brake), vertical frame, cross beams, and floor protection.
Step 9: Install and adjust the steel cables
The counterweight frame is placed at the bottom, and the cabin frame is positioned at the top and fixed in place until cable installation and adjustment are complete.
Step 10: Install the landing doors
Landing door components are delivered to each floor. After installing the load cables, use the cabin floor to install the landing doors sequentially from the top down.
Step 11: Adjust and test run for 10 days
Modern equipment is used to check and measure technical parameters to ensure stable, smooth, durable, and safe elevator operation. Only authorized personnel are allowed to use the elevator during the test run.
Step 12: Inspect and certify the elevator
This inspection is conducted by the State Inspection Agency for Labor Safety under the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs.
Step 13: Handover and commissioning for customer use
The elevator is handed over to the customer for operation after final acceptance.
3. Consequences of Choosing an Unreliable Elevator Installation Company
3.1. Low technical expertise, no specific process
Many companies lack their own installation or maintenance teams, opting to hire external services. This can save costs but makes it difficult to control and train according to safety standards.
3.2. Improper elevator operation, frequent failures
Imagine an elevator not stopping at the correct floor, doors malfunctioning, or experiencing vibrations. These issues can significantly affect user experience, especially in busy office buildings or residential complexes.
3.3. Costly and time-consuming repairs
Repairing or replacing elevator parts can require significant financial resources, leading to unexpected expenses for families.
