Elevator Revolution - It Really Is That Easy

Elevator Revolution - It really is that easy. Projects are complex with lots of moving parts. Electrical, plumbing, heat and air, structural concerns, finishes, the foundation, openings, and more needs constant monitoring and adjustment. The logistics of all those construction divisions suck time and resources from your busy schedule. This makes keeping everything on track, on time and moving forward more than a headache to say the least. So, every once in a while it is a relief when there is a simple solution. A solution that takes an entire part of the project off the critical path, instead of placing it on the to do list. The MEM Elevator System does just that and makes it easy. It allows you to draw a line through that part of the building project and not think about it again. It is a simple solution because with a modular elevator there are only two steps once the contract is signed, the purchase made and the pit is poured. The first step is a fully installed elevator delivered and craned into place. This step takes less than four hours and none of your time unless you want to watch it go in. The second step is once permanent power is supplied, the elevator is started up. This take around a week. This was exactly the process of one of our most recent projects, Los Osos High School. Elevator Revolution - Engineering Solutions Projects like Los Osos High School demonstrate our fast, high-quality solution through forward thinking and superior engineering. See, traditional elevator companies and other modular elevator businesses have significantly less experience or are just stuck in old thinking when it comes to modular elevator systems. Traditional elevators are anchored in the 60's (the 1860's) with no desire to upgrade their product models. With the modular elevator business, many elevator novices jumped into the market with little understanding of what makes an elevator tick. As a result they have no idea as to why installations are such a pain and certainly had no idea as to how to find engineering solutions. For them, often times, each elevator produced is an experiment that the builder pays for in real dollars.

But why should superior engineering matter to the developer, building owner, architect, project supervisor, or other building professionals? I mean really the most you really need to know about an elevator is when you press the button, it goes up. In simplest terms an elevator is just a box that goes up and down inside another box. However, the engineering matters because that is what allows the installation to go in smoothly and quickly without delays and complications. The process is a success because what we say about a simple solution is true. And it leads to a headache free jobsite. Also, because of our expertise and knowledge we are able to accommodate special requests and special circumstances. Others run from projects that need to incorporate a corner post, or difficult applications such as inside the Spruce Goose Hanger for Google. Because of our engineering, knowledge and experience we enjoy the challenge and the results.

Easy For You This was true on the Los Osos High School project. Everything went according to plan and according to the timeline that was most beneficial for the project. As we all know, schools have a difficult timeline to say the least. Even when it is new construction the calendar of the school district reigns supreme. That brings lots of pressure to bear. With the project a fully installed elevator was delivered when promised. And it was up and running on time with no complications. Wouldn't it be nice to know that the elevator is taken care of completely? That is possible with success through engineering and our knowledgeable team. Experience is Key We have a well thought out approach when it comes to durability, quality, safety, and speed. That is due to our decades of experience in the elevator industry in both service and manufacturing. We know the challenges so you benefit from our years of knowledge. Bottom line, we know what it takes to design and build one tough elevator. But beyond that, we deliver it when you need it on the jobsite as a fully installed unit. Here are some videos showing how easy it is. So, for your next project it maybe time to explore the possibilities of the MEM Elevator System.

Transcript Log

Accuracy of Log compromised by damage to subsystems.

Transcript recording available due to manual external disconnect of majority of sensor systems. Utilizing onboard backup microphone.

Partial log transcript follows:

“Can’t seem to. No the servo’s were fried. No. Yeah, it’s mostly hooched. I know you have some of the M-Type modules, bring those. Dunno, some protoype maybe. Half this is all industry standard, the vogue for consumer stuff is proprietary parts. Nah. You wouldn’t beleive where I found it. No really. Some alleyway on the North Side. Nah it was busted, you think I just steal working tech? That was one time and it turned out to be stolen anyway so whatever. Yeah, no. I had to yank like half the subsystems to even get it to boot in safe mode, but it’s humming along now. Lights are on but nobody’s home. Whole memsystem is locked, or Ida. Yeah. Yep. No, tried that. No, its literally welded shut. Only proprietary thing on the mess, that and a few connectors. Some of this hardware is old spare parts though. Some backyard tinkerer maybe? Whoever it was did a number on it, it was shot full of holes. Yeah shot. Fuck if I know. Underground combat stuff? Yakuza? Nah they wouldn’t try. You remember last time. It’d be funny to make it an adjunct though. [Laughter] Processor’s there, if it boots and doesn’t try to take my face off no reason to buy a new one. Yeah. Huh? Uh I’m feeling soup. The shop down the street by Larry’s. Uh yeah the M-type. Hang on. M-type and whatever sensors you’ve got. All the delicate stuff is toasted or contaminated. Bodybag design. Yeah, no, full body bag. I know. I told you, total hack job. Some clever bits but this was cheap-o cheap-o mass produced. Uh-huh. Alright. Beef. I owe you from last time, too. Yeah I got cash. Somewhere. Ok. Cool. Ok. Yeah. Ok. Bye.”

The Elevator Type You Need

Hope On Avalon/Los Angeles, CA - When it comes choosing the elevator type for any job, Modular Elevator Manufacturing will help. We are not a one size fits all elevator company, trying to shoehorn projects into a singular kind of elevator. Also our vast experience and knowledge helps guide during the project in making the best choices. That's the case at our current elevator jobsite at the Hope On Avalon project in Los Angeles. On that project we partnered with Ed Grush - project general contractor, KTGY - project architect, Silver Creek Industries - modular supplier and Danny Moizel at HGB Modular - consultant. Working with that group is like working with the dream team of construction and all were a joy to work with. They are each knowledgeable, experienced, have well run organizations and are leaders in the construction industry and modular industry as well. The Project They came to us needing a 5-story elevator for a transitional and supportive housing project. The solution was a stackable hoistway and an in-ground hydraulic jack. Setting the fully installed elevator was complete in just a couple hours. We were glad to be a part of the project. Using an in-ground jack was the best solution for the project. It has a fast, smooth ride that will serve the purposes well. The cab is made of tough Galvaneal steel with vandal resistant hall calls and buttons. It will handle the rigors of service for decades. We do not use wood core or particle board with the MEM Elevator System. Galvaneal reduced mold issues, chipping, breaking and warping that can occur with wood core cabs. As you can see in the video, the hoistway is built with tough 4X4 inch steel meeting all requirements. All the elevator components are installed and then it is wrapped in drywall ready for cladding. The elevator and jack arrive on a truck and then the in-ground jack is simply lowered into the pre-drilled hole. The elevator bottom section is placed on top. Then, the upper section is lowered in the same way and connected. The right elevator for the right job. Fast and ready for electric and start up.

Supportive Housing Benefits from the MEM Elevator System The mission of this project is important. The elevator and the Hope on Avalon project are crucial to combat the growing homelessness issues in Los Angeles. There are several benefits for supportive housing with the MEM system: - No onsite elevator installation slowing the project. Manufacturing is in the factory. - No elevator crew, elevator parts and no elevator tools getting in the way of the other trades. - Use as a construction elevator is possible. Two elevators for the price of one. - Quick start up - the process only takes about a week. - You don't have to call back other trades to finish entrances. The MEM System comes factory drywalled and ready to finish. This saves thousands per entrance. - Safer - Fewer people coming and going means fewer injuries. Also, there are no open shaft doors to fall through like with traditional elevators. - Greener - Modular is much greener than traditional construction. - Same parts, higher quality. Most elevator companies regardless of the nameplate have the same parts and components. The MEM System has factory advantages of tight tolerances. This produces higher quality. - Faster, faster, faster. And isn't that the point. You get the elevator when you need it base on your timing, your project and your needs. The elevator is off the critical path and occupancy can happen much faster. Hope on Avalon Might Be Your Solution Too In conclusion, it maybe time to explore the possibilities further regarding supportive housing elevators. Let's see if the MEM Elevator System can meet your needs. We would love to be a part of recommending an elevator type that suits your project best.

Supportive Housing Elevators Fast

We need Supportive Housing Elevators Fast. Supportive housing is also referred to affordable housing or low income housing, but regardless of the name the need is more than evident. So, when it comes to housing the homeless, faster is better to address the issue. But also we must use the resources available in a timely fashion. Funds are being allocated to help right now. As an example the Los Angeles City Council has approved more than $51 million in financing for the construction of new affordable and permanent supportive housing developments. But that funding can be slippery if not acted on quickly and the need could continue to go unaddressed if not used. The bottom line is that funds allocated need to result in actual building projects that are designed for housing the at risk population as quickly as possible. But Building is Slow And there is the problem. As everyone in the construction industry knows, a building does not pop up overnight, even when funding is approved and support is given. It takes plumbing, electric, foundation work, drawings, permits and approvals. Lastly, if over one story the project takes the slowest component of any build project, an elevator. But TLShield and Modular Elevator Manufacturing (MEM) has the solution.

Elevator Sales Executive - Christian Lahud from TLShield & Associates explains, "In traditional construction the elevator hoistway is built and sits until power is turned on at the end of the project. Then and only then elevator technicians show up. They come and go at their leisure, carrying in elevator parts and installing them one at a time until the elevator is running." Lahud went on to say that, "The elevator and its mechanics are the first on the site and last to leave. Everything is slowed down including other trades that need the elevator installed to finish."

The Better Alternative The MEM Elevator System however is produced in a factory environment where a hoistway is constructed with steel. The structure is engineered to be strong enough to be self-supporting in most cases. Then all of the elevator components are installed in the hoistway in the factory. Ultimately, when it is needed it is loaded on to a truck, shipped to the jobsite and set in place. In four hours you will have a fully installed, commercial quality elevator ready to be started up and used. It can also double as a construction elevator. Lahud says this makes MEM perfect for the affordable housing market. "The MEM Elevator System is high-quality, but fast in setting and startup. It is a real solution where speed is of the essence to address a pressing need. No other elevator system is shipped and in place when the customer wants it."

Supportive Housing Experience How do we know we are the solution? Over the decades of experience we have produced several elevators for supportive housing with just a couple of the most recent projects pictured. As you can see, whether a steel frame structure or modular structure involving storage containers, the MEM Elevator System is a perfect fit. We can be what you need regardless of the structure type. Right now due to the speed of modular construction and the immediacy of the problem there seems to be a high demand for modular structures. But another fast way to build housing is using an existing structure. With that in mind, we are perfect for retrofit opportunities. The initial purpose of the modular elevators was to attach them quickly to exteriors of existing buildings to make them more accessible. We have grown from servicing just that market over the past 30 years, but we are still experts you can rely on if you have a retrofit project in mind. Supportive Housing Benefits from the MEM Elevator System Wrapping it all up the benefits are obvious: - No onsite installation slowing the project. It is done in the factory. - No elevator crew, elevator parts and no elevator tools getting in the way of the other trades. - It can be used as a construction elevator. Two elevators for the price of one. - Quick start up - the process only takes about a week. - You don't have to call back other trades to finish entrances, the MEM System comes factory drywalled and ready to finish. This saves thousands per entrance. - Safer - Fewer people coming and going means fewer injuries. Also, there are no open shaft doors to fall through like with traditional elevators. - Greener - Modular is much greener than traditional construction. - Same parts, higher quality. Even though most elevator companies regardless of the nameplate have the same parts and components, the MEM System is factory built, with factory tolerances. This produces higher quality. - Faster, faster, faster. And isn't that the point. You get the elevator when you need it base on your timing, your project and your needs.
