Opened in 1911, the building is the purpose-built home of the Royal Liver Assurance <\/a>group, which had been set up in the city in 1850 to provide locals with assistance related to losing a wage-earning relative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the first buildings in the world to be built using reinforced concrete, <\/a>the Royal Liver Building stands at 98.2 m (322 ft) tall to the top of the spires, and 50.9 m (167 ft) to the main roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once one of the tallest buildings in the country, the Royal Liver Building is now only the joint- fifth tallest structure in the City of Liverpool.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today the Royal Liver Building is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city of Liverpool and is home to two fabled Liver Birds <\/a>that watch over the city and the sea. Legend has it that were these two birds to fly away, then the city would cease to exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the recent tenants are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout his career in the lift industry, Peter Ferguson from CBRE had been involved at the iconic Royal Liver Building, stretching back over 20 years and knew the lift portfolio very well<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1995, the lifts at this time where maintained by the OEM as all lifts installed within the building where of the same manufacture and installation. Eventually investment was made on all the lift units and the upgrade works were completed from around 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter became involved once again at the building through CBRE from 2016, and was able to identify that although some investments have been made to the goods lift, the unit was still problematic and unreliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous works undertaken by others on this unit did not improve reliability and more importantly potential efficiency, because the installation remained as was originally designed \u2013 a 1:1 configuration with cross corner guides and adjacent entrance to serve the Loading Bay area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the unreliability experienced on site, Peter considered how the client could improve not only the reliability of the equipment but also the efficiency<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the general installation was still a majority of OEM hardware with a different manufacturer closed protocol two speed control system and a planetary gearbox hoisting machine; improvements could be made by converting the installation to 2:1 gearless AC VF with a high-quality open protocol control system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After speaking to the building manager Mr Ian Edwards and explaining the considerations and expected benefits, we agreed to further develop the potential for a major Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter contacted trusted suppliers that he had have worked with for many years and shared his thoughts on how to improve the lift in general and at this point, CBRE we were instructed to proceed with a tender exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter drew up the technical performance specification accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the complexities and challenges to the project was that lift would need to remain with adjacent entrances to be able to meet the buildings requirements for operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using an innovative approach, the lift was designed in such a way that it could retain the cross-corner guides, and car sling but introduce car and counterweight diverter pulleys to the structure to enable the 2-to-1 configuration to be achieved. With that the original manual gates would now become automatic. Again, a very innovative and forward-thinking approach to the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowsley Lift Services, based in Liverpool, were the selected contractor to undertake the huge responsibility for the complete refurbishment of the lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CBRE brief outlined by Peter Ferguson was to assess the feasibility of the adaption to 2:1 roping and put forward offer (possibly including the replacement or modification of Counterweight guides to facilitate the adaptions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides the fact that due to the major works ongoing in a very busy building, our survey times had to be minimised and strictly scheduled<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest challenges, was that the lift car served adjacent entrances at 90\u2070 to each other with “Cross Corner” type guides resulting in the Crown Bar running at a 45\u2070 in relation to the Counterweight (as well as doors) , and main structural steels running perpendicular from Counterweight to front entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three 8″ x 12″ I-beams supporting the installation, two running between the Counterweight guides, prompting the suggested option on the tender return of moving a guide which would have allowed two pulleys to be used in a configuration best suited to avoid beams , however this would have necessitated the whole shaft to have been scaffolded to allow operation to be carried out , and also cutting and modification of every Counterweight bracket in the shaft as original is a heavy C-Bracket spanning guides and fixed centrally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tommy Murphy, (Director and Co-Owner with Steve Fitzgerald of Knowsley Lift Services) and Peter looked at various pulley arrangements as an alternative, to try to avoid steels and have new car pulleys running in line with crown bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collectively they finally came up with an option of fitting a bespoke size pulley on the weight which centralised ropes in available space between beams and guides , and rotated the car pulley at an angle of 45\u2070 to crown bar , fixed above centre of gravity of car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(As always, a “plan B” was considered in the event that minor modification to steelwork was required once equipment fitted and extra clearance needed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advice was sought from structural engineer to ensure same was acceptable and extra bracing could be fitted in order to preserve structural integrity)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knowsley Lift Services solution provided also provided considerable improvement on efficiencies also: They consisted of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Original Schindler Planetary : 42A , 18kw<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Proposed New Geared Solution : 40A , 17.2kw<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Fitted Gearless 2:1 : 27.2A , 13.5kw<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve protection against uncontrolled movement Knowsley Lift Services used VG Safety Gear top and bottom of car and had to ensure linkages at top of car were engineered in order to avoid new adaption steel assembly partially obstructing route, a solenoid operated Bode7 governor was used to interface with the Control panel which was provided by Kollmorgen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
