Duplex Elevator Shaft with Additional Provision

‍Installation Location: Castelnuovo Del Garda (VR)
Status: Completed
Product: Project Classic in special execution

In the vicinity of Lake Garda, a few kilometers from Verona, we have built a double elevator shaft with a high elevator capacity of 1600 kg – 21 people each in a shopping center located in a high-tourist area, with provision for the insertion of a third elevator with a capacity of 1600 kg – 21 people. The structure was integrated with a building under construction, requiring verification and interchange of data and 3D models with the designers, and was partly infilled with point-fixed external glass and partly with framed glass, replicating the widely proven systems of our Project Classic and Project Vision structures. In addition, handrail profiles were integrated to ensure safety in the area with large windows, which could be replaced later to allow the installation of the third elevator. The end result is a functional and safe structure that meets the guidelines for shopping centers, with excellent finishes and perfectly integrated with the architecture of the shopping center, ready to meet the needs of a high-density tourist area.
Provision for a possible third lift provides additional flexibility and future adaptability.

The initial phase of the project involved close collaboration with the designers of the building, which is still under construction. This synergy required the verification and interchange of data and 3D models to ensure that each component was seamlessly integrated with the overall design of the building. Detailed planning made it possible to identify and solve any structural or compatibility problems in a timely manner.

The structure was built using a combination of point-fixed external glass and framed glass, replicating the widely proven systems of our Project Classic and Project Vision structures. This solution ensured both modern aesthetics and structural strength. In addition, the use of glass made it possible to maintain optimal transparency and brightness, key features for harmonious integration with the architecture of the mall.

To ensure the safety of users, handrail profiles were integrated in areas with large windows. These handrails not only provided the necessary protection, but were also designed to be easily replaceable should the decision be made to install the third lift. Provision for a possible third elevator, with the same rated load of 1,600 kg and 21 people, was planned from the beginning to meet future needs for increased visitor flow.

The end result was a functional and safe facility that fully complied with the guidelines for shopping centers. Excellent finishes and seamless integration with the architecture of the shopping center ensured an aesthetically pleasing impact consistent with the surroundings. Provision for a possible third lift was an added value, providing further flexibility and future adaptability.

This project not only met current needs but was also designed with future scalability in mind, representing an example of how modern engineering can anticipate and respond to various operational and structural needs. The realization of this double high-capacity elevator shaft demonstrated the effectiveness of collaborative planning and the importance of flexible and safe design for high-profile infrastructure.
