The aim of the project is to replace five lifts at the UV’s Faculty of Law.

This will involve the replacement of the cabins, motors, connections and access doors to the lifts. The work does not involve any structural alterations.

It should be noted that two of the five lifts to be replaced (lifts 2 and 4) go down to the basement. The other three lifts, which do not go down to the basement, have their vertical passage free, as it is divided and therefore free for a possible emergency lift route.

Intervention overview

The planned action is the complete replacement of five lifts from the UV’s Faculty of Law (Tarongers Campus).

The new lifts will not require a machine room and will have the following characteristics:

• 3 lifts for 12 people, 900 kg, 7 stops, speed 1.6 m/s
• 2 lifts for 12 people, 900 kg, 8 stops, speed 1.6 m/s, restricted access

The work required to replace each of the existing lifts is as follows:

• Dismantling and complete removal of the existing lift, including cabin, guides, machinery, current doors, control panel, etc.
• Preparation of the existing pit to receive the new lift. Repair of items damaged during dismantling, branch lines, modification of floor cavities, etc.
• The project includes: a new cabin, new motors, new installation of auxiliary elements (cables, guides, counterweights, etc.), new control panel and new doors
• Adjustment and testing of all elements of the newly installed lift
• Programming of the lift to define the optimum operation
• Lift start-up, testing of the safety elements, certifications and OCA verification
• Auxiliary civil works
