How Can Lerch Bates Europe Improve Your Building’s Sustainability?

Being highly visible and heavily utilised, lift and escalators are some of the most valuable assets in any building. Ensuring that these assets are functioning at the highest possible quality with sustainability in mind is what our Lerch Bates Europe consultants do best.  

Lift and escalator modernisation is the process of upgrading vertical transportation elements to renew their lifespan. This can extend the lifespan of lifts and escalators by 20-25 years, and is a more sustainable method of ensuring that lifts and escalators continue to be valuable assets. 

Modernisation aides in sustainability in several ways. Rather than fully replacing your aging vertical transportation assets, which requires scrapping and manufacturing a significant amount of material, modernisation allows clients to retain certain structural elements of their existing lift or escalator system. Not only does modernisation save material waste, it is a less disruptive method of renewing lifts and escalators. Modernisation can be more accomodating to the building requirements and potentially requires less structural changes than full replacements of lifts and escalators.
