Project overview
External passenger lift retrofit for an existing residential building in Bicholim, Goa, showing how lift access was added around real space limits, buried services, and minimal structural disruption.
Site context
This project involved an external passenger elevator for an existing residential building in Bicholim, Goa. The lift had to be added without disturbing the original building layout, avoid conflict with buried services, and remain practical for weather exposure and long-term daily use.
Planning challenge
The existing residential society had no lift provision in the original structure, and the available installation zone was constrained by services, drainage lines, and a nearby septic tank.
Eleva approach
Eleva installed an external hydraulic passenger lift with a low-depth pit, fabricated MS shaft, and ACP cladding so the building could gain lift access without major structural disruption.
Installation outcome
This case study focuses on installing a passenger lift in an existing residential building where space constraints, existing services, and minimal structural disturbance were the primary considerations.
Why the outcome worked
- The lift was designed as an external installation, allowing the existing building layout to remain untouched
- A hydraulic system with a low-depth pit avoided interference with the septic tank and existing underground services
- The MS shaft provided a flexible and site-adapted structural solution without major civil modifications
- ACP cladding ensured long-term weather protection while maintaining a clean external appearance
- The installation was planned specifically to serve the required floor, keeping the solution simple, efficient, and reliable
