Our Vertical Transportation Services in Chennai
Lift & Elevator Design Consultancy
We provide independent design advice for passenger lifts, service lifts, fire-fighting lifts, goods lifts, and special-use elevators. Our designs focus on performance, safety, maintainability, and compliance with applicable Indian and international standards.
Lift Traffic Analysis & Simulation
Using industry-recognised traffic analysis tools, we assess people movement patterns and model peak-time performance to determine the most efficient lift configurations for each building type.
Escalators & Moving Walkways
We advise on escalator and moving walkway planning for commercial buildings, transport facilities, and public spaces, balancing capacity, safety, and spatial integration.
Façade Access & BMU System Design
Our façade access consultancy includes planning and design of BMU systems, davits, monorails, and rope access strategies to ensure safe, compliant access for façade maintenance.
Tendering, Technical Reviews & Vendor Evaluation
We assist clients throughout the tender stage with specifications, technical evaluations, bid comparisons, and value engineering, maintaining full independence from suppliers.
Modernisation, Audits & Due Diligence
For existing buildings, we provide lift audits, condition assessments, modernisation strategies, and lifecycle reviews to improve performance, reliability, and safety.
BIM & Digital Coordination
Dunbar & Boardman provides Building Information Modelling (BIM) support for vertical transportation and façade access systems, including Revit-based models, coordination with architectural and MEP disciplines, and clash detection support where required.
Our BIM deliverables are aligned with project-stage requirements and support coordinated, buildable designs, reducing risk during construction and improving information quality for handover and asset management.
Why Engage D&B Early in Your Project
Early involvement of a vertical transportation consultant allows project teams to:
- Integrate lift cores efficiently with architectural and structural layouts
- Avoid over- or under-provisioning of lift systems
- Improve user experience and building value
- Reduce long-term operational risks
Our consultancy approach ensures decisions are made based on engineering judgement and project needs, not product-driven outcomes.
