GOC920294-CS - Required Elevator Upgrades to Meet Current Code

Elevators 1,2,3,4,5 & 7
Replace the car and counterweight buffers as there is no current rating tag installed and there was no information on the original drawings from 1957. Replace the existing tiller rope safeties as they are underrated for the current elevator weights. Existing safeties are rated for a maximum of 10,000 lbs and the current elevator weights plus their rated loads are between 11600 lbs and 12550 lbs. Add required weight to the counterweights to achieve a minimum of 35% balance by removing some of the existing steel weights from the counterweights and replacing them with heavier lead weights.
Elevator 6
Replace the car and counterweight buffers as there is no current rating tag installed and there was no information on the original drawings from 1957. Replace the existing hoist ropes as they are underrated with extra high strength (breaking strength of 84KN or greater) hoist ropes. Add required weight to the counterweights to achieve a minimum of 35% balance by removing some of the existing steel weights from the counterweights and replacing them with heavier lead weights.
