Home to Stanford University and the venture-capital epicenter of Sand Hill Road, Palo Alto pairs world-class research institutions with a booming biotech and AI office market. Bay mud near the Baylands, the San Andreas fault to the west, strict design review, and the Peninsula's highest land values define an exacting project environment.

What we engineer

New elevator design and full modernization per ASME A17.1/CSA B44 — traction and hydraulic machines, MRL conversions, controller replacements, door equipment, and machine replacements sized to your hoistway; structural coordination for machine loads, pit depths, and overhead clearances; electrical design for drives, emergency power, and firefighter's emergency operation (Phase I recall, Phase II in-car).

Code compliance that passes inspection

Alteration scopes per ASME A17.1 Section 8.7, door-lock monitoring, two-way visual emergency communication, ADA/ICC A117.1 accessibility upgrades, and seismic design per Section 8.4 where required — our packages are built for Category 1 and Category 5 acceptance testing and AHJ witnessing the first time.
