Building

Showcasing our latest double lift installation, including a BS EN 81-72 Firefighting lift.

Ideal Lifts installed a pair of lifts into this prestigious development of private apartments and penthouses on the seafront in Hove. The scheme comprises of 52 flats which are a mix of 1, 2 & 3 beds.

Our Ideal LIFTS FOR FIREFIGHTERS USE guide covers the main features and requirements to assists contractors and designers.

Due to the height of the building, it was a requirement for one of the lifts to be a Firefighters lift, which allows the Fire service to carry firefighters and their equipment to the required floor in the event of a fire.

Firefighting lifts feature:

  • Primary and secondary power supply (by others) to enable the lift to remain in use
  • Encapsulated car ladder for access to roof trap door for rescue operations
  • Electrical components in the shaft and on the lift car are protected against water
  • Emergency intercom system and lift operation
  • Interface between the lift control, alarm, and fire detection systems

Both lifts were finished in robust stainless steel, with durable two-hour fire certified landing entrances finished in RAL 7032. The building was 9-stops and a through car lift was installed to facilitate access from the basement car park to all floors.

These lifts were provided with optional extra, protective drapes for additional interior car protection when the building is being occupied.

Overbuild and the Ideal Lifts Frame System

Overbuild and the Ideal Lifts Frame System

Overbuild

The Government has recently called on councils to get building over railway stations.

We are very pleased to have been asked to contribute to the Linear Infrastructure Overbuild Guide commissioned by Buildoffsite.

The report was inspired by WSP’s ‘Out of Thin Air – Building over London’s rail lines’ report and the subsequent ‘Out of Thin Air – One year on’, it aims to do 3 things:

  1. Make more potential sites viable, creating homes and offsite project opportunities
  2. Enable stakeholders to consider how to unlock more of this potential
  3. Help more developers and suppliers to be involved with infrastructure overbuild

The reports identify the opportunities overbuild offers as a way forward with the acute housing shortage the UK is facing.

The lightweight Ideal Lifts Frame System weighing 95% less than pre-cast lift shafts, designed for MMC, is also perfect for rail overbuild projects and existing buildings which need to be extended vertically.
