Project Location: Buffalo, NY
The elevator modernization project at the Buffalo Civic Auto Ramp (BCAR) Fernbach parking ramp entailed the replacement of four ten-stop, low-rise, geared traction elevators and upgrades to their associated mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire alarm systems. As part of the project, BCAR requested that the car speed be increased and that the elevator cab wall be made of operable glass doors, which require special operations and safety features. Due to exposure to the elements, A|r recommended that much of the hoistway structural steel be replaced with galvanized steel. Construction administration and Qualified Elevator Inspector (QEI) services for BCAR were provided to ensure the installation of the elevators met the contract documents and code.
