Elevator Inspections
Traffic Analysis
Today even a modest elevator bank in a mid-rise building can cost a million dollars or more. While in the past it was common for design professionals to simply put in a standard bank using the same capacities and speeds as they may have used in the past, today's costs require a more thoughtful approach to elevator equipment selection. With new technologies being produced like machineroomless traction, telescoping roped-hydraulics, and green building initiatives, it's becoming increasingly difficult for a "generic-master" type specification to efficiently select the equipment for the building owner. Incorrect selection today of equipment in a building can have long-term adverse affects on the costs to maintain and upgrade equipment tomorrow.
Using the latest traffic study methods and specialized software, CNYEC can provide simulations to Owners' and Design Professionals with a virtual use of the elevators by building occupants. CNYEC, simulating the anticipated traffic in the building in a virtual real world environment can optimize the space requirements and equipment selection to maximize the efficiency of an elevator bank, or series of banks. With the costs of equipment skyrocketing and the need to balance those costs through efficient use of space, traffic analysis is a reliable method to maximize those dollars.
CNYEC will design a traffic study unique to your building, either new or existing. Using the building's intended or present traffic data, CNYEC will provide up-peak, destination waiting time, and down-peak analyses to determine the most optimal equipment and bank lay-out for your specific building. CNYEC is independent and does not represent any manufacturer. We provide traffic studies that benefit the Owner and provide the design professional with real world data for design of mid-rise, high-rise, and green building design.
