Facilities, Instructions, Standards, and Techniques, Volume 2-10: Maintenance, Inspection, and Testing of Electric and Hydraulic Elevators
There are over 125 elevators at various Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) pumping plants, power plants, dams, office buildings, and visitor facilities. The safety of these elevators is an ongoing concern of Reclamation. While elevators are generally considered to be an extremely reliable and safe means of vertical transportation, it is only by a thorough program of inspection and testing that they can be considered to be so. A malfunctioning elevator system potentially may cause loss of life or serious injury. Many of the elevator systems at Bureau facilities are aging and may not have had a reliable record of inspection and maintenance. Many of these elevators may lack some of the safety features that are required by code to build an elevator today. The primary purpose of this document is to assert that conformance to the elevator safety codes developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is required.
