A feasibility study for vertical transportation systems is a vital step in the planning and design process for any building or structure. TLC performs a comprehensive analysis of the technical, economic, and operational aspects of a proposed system. Based on this information, TLC will be able to determine whether the installation of an elevator is viable and cost-effective, and what type of lift system would be most suitable for the building, providing estimates of the costs involved.
Our in-depth analysis will consider factors such as the height and layout of the building, the number of floors, the volume of traffic, available space for the elevator equipment, the intended use of the elevator, the needs of disabled users, compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) and statutory requirements, the electrical and mechanical requirements for the elevator and the costs involved.
TLC collaborates closely with our clients to understand their requirements, developing a customised feasibility study that meets their specific needs. Our feasibility study involves an evaluation of the existing infrastructure, the proposed system, the potential impacts of the system on the environment, and compliance with the applicable statutory requirements. TLC will work closely with each respective discipline within the design team, providing each with the relevant vertical transportation information to aid them with their component of the technical review.
Alternatively, TLC can offer a turnkey solution for our clients through our business partnerships with structural, civil & electrical engineers, architects, equal access consultants, and quantity surveyors. TLC can function as the superintendent for the project, combining the expertise of each discipline. By sharing the same goals and working together in an organised and coordinated manner we can provide our clients with accurate and detailed information, helping them make informed decisions.
