Lift & Escalator
Lift and escalator work lives and dies on fixings — and fixings mean drilling into concrete you can't see inside. Corvus scans the fixing zones before a single hole goes in, so your engineers hit sound concrete and miss the reinforcement, tendons and services.
What teams in this sector ask us to solve.
- 01
Locating reinforcement and tendons before drilling guide-rail bracket fixings
- 02
Confirming sound concrete depth at buffer pedestals and machine beams
- 03
Scanning shaft walls and landing entrances in occupied buildings
- 04
Verifying pit and machine-room slabs before coring or fixing
Every fixing, checked before you drill.
On lift installation, modernisation and repair, we scan the fixing zones that matter — so anchors land in sound concrete, clear of reinforcement, tendons and services.
Guide-rail bracket fixings
Scan the shaft wall before drilling bracket anchors, so fixings land in sound concrete clear of reinforcement.
Landing entrances
Map rebar and services around entrance openings before cutting or fixing frames and sills.
Buffer pedestals
Confirm slab thickness and reinforcement at buffer and pit-floor fixings before coring.
Machine & diverter beams
Check bearing points and fixing zones for embedded steel before load-bearing anchors go in.
Lift pits
Survey pit walls and base for reinforcement, services and voids ahead of drilling or waterproofing works.
Machine rooms
Scan machine-room slabs and plinths before setting out and fixing traction equipment.
Real lift jobs. Real scans.
Where we add value.
GPR Concrete Scanning
Ground penetrating radar finds rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and voids hidden inside concrete — before they become a problem.
Ferro Scanning
Electromagnetic scanning to map reinforcement, measure cover depth, and estimate bar diameter without touching the concrete.
Concrete Testing
On-site non-destructive and intrusive testing methods, including rebound hammer testing, pull-out testing, core extraction, and laboratory compressive strength testing.
