How to transform the elevator in the old house

Elevator renovation of old houses has become an important project for urban renewal and renovation of old residential areas. On the one hand, the residents of old residential areas are mostly elderly and disabled, with high floors and inconvenient mobility and life. Installing elevators can improve their quality of life. On the other hand, the density of small buildings in the old community is high and there are few parking spaces. Installing elevators can increase the convenience of residents' travel and improve the value of houses.

However, it is not easy to transform the elevator in the old house. The physical structure of old buildings is strictly protected, and the power load is greatly limited. Elevator design should not only meet the needs of residents as much as possible, but also consider safety and durability, as well as the bearing capacity of buildings. Let's discuss the matters needing attention in elevator renovation of old houses from eight aspects.

First, consult and declare with technical experts. The renovation of elevators in old houses involves many professional fields. Applicants need to consult relevant departments for relevant laws, regulations and technical standards, and only experienced professional teams can provide support for the project. Experienced construction companies can provide professional advice on safety and design.

Secondly, we should consider who the target group is. The elevator for rebuilding old houses serves the elderly and the disabled, so the elevator should be equipped with corresponding functions such as manual vertical operation device, handrail, voice prompt system and lighting facilities according to national requirements. Pay attention to the different needs of different target groups to ensure the comprehensive function and stable performance of elevators.

Third, we need to evaluate the feasibility of the elevator. The evaluation process includes measuring the machine room and shaft, determining the installation position and size of elevator components, and evaluating whether the infrastructure can meet the requirements. Measure the thickness of shaft wall to ensure the safety and stability of elevator installation.

Fourth, we need to consider the power load. The electric load capacity of the old house is small. After the elevator is equipped, it needs another power supply to run normally. In terms of power supply, the power load is appropriately increased according to the regulations of the power plant to meet the needs of elevators.

Fifth, we should start to clean up the route and decorate the surrounding doors and windows. Elevator decoration needs to occupy a certain space and passage, and the surrounding doors and windows need to be cleaned, so that elevator decoration workers can get in and out quickly and reduce damage and metal dust falling.

Sixth, we should deal with infrastructure problems. The infrastructure problem is a problem faced by many old buildings. The traditional building structure may not be able to bear the weight of the elevator, so it is necessary to increase the building structure to ensure the safety and stability of the elevator. In addition, the infrastructure also includes elevator room, shaft, electrical control room, etc.

Seventh, we should consider security issues. Safety is the primary task of elevator reconstruction in old houses. Most cities have institutions responsible for elevator management, including annual inspection and maintenance of elevators. Elevators should be installed on reliable structures and equipment like elevators in new buildings. Install and debug according to regulations and standards to ensure the safety and stability of elevators.

Eighth, maintenance needs to be planned. Unlike new buildings, elevators installed in old houses will face aging problems and need regular maintenance. After the elevator is officially installed and put into use, sign a long-term contract with the property management company or the maintenance company to ensure the smooth operation of the elevator.

To sum up, the elevator renovation of the old house is an engineering project with many technical problems, which need to be completed by professional teams from both sides. In the process of operation, we should pay attention to the needs of residents, consider the power load, infrastructure, safety, maintenance and other issues to ensure the operation of elevators and improve the quality of life of residents.
