Project outline

Westminster City Council is planning to upgrade the lifts as far as practically possible to EN81-20 and BS8899 - the standards for Improvement of Firefighting and evacuation provisions in existing lifts. This will enable fire and rescue services to avoid delay and reach fires. We can aid this by providing a lift with additional protection and with controls that enable it to be used by the fire and rescue services when fighting a fire, which may provide the assistance needed to get them to the source of the fire in the speed which counts.  

These lifts operate as normal passenger lifts with the capability to switch into an emergency state if required.
