St. Georges Hall, Liverpool 

The Challenge

The original 1894 columns holding up the roof/highly decorated tile floors and bronze panels. The project had to be completed whilst the building remained occupied without compromising safety. Access routes to be carefully planned & protection of building fabric and décor are critical. 

The Solution

The new lift was designed in such a way as to ensure landing entrances aligned with existing structural openings in order to keep structural works, and associated cost and extra time implications to a minimum, whilst being sympathetic to the original 1894 decoration.

The new lift installation was designed considering shaft dimensions to achieve compliance.

The Afters

The equipment installed was designed for 20-25 years reliable and robust service with future servicing and maintenance requirements at a minimum providing long term value for money to the city.
