Your partner for all your work-by-others needs during your elevator modernization.

Macro Ecto works in lockstep with the elevator company to manage all of the HVAC, electrical, and fire life-safety work that elevator modernization projects require — not limited to machine room ventilation, disconnects and sub-panels, smoke control, and any other code items that could hold up final inspection.

01 / SCOPE

Three trades, one modernization timeline.

HVAC

Machine room & hoistway ventilation

Modern controllers and drives change heat loading and are required to be kept in controlled environments.

  • Machine room temperature & ventilation compliance
  • Hoistway pressurization coordination
ELECTRICAL

Power, disconnects & controls

New controllers and drives almost always trigger electrical code items that the elevator contractor won't scope.

  • Main line disconnect & shunt trip updates
  • Machine room power distribution
  • Lighting in elevator pits and hoistways
FIRE / LIFE SAFETY

Smoke control & fire service

Smoke detection requirements are frequently out of date on older installations.

  • Hoistway & machine room smoke detection
  • Fire-rated door & separation coordination
