Modernisation

Extend equipment life without full replacement

Discuss modernisation options

What we do

Modernisation services

Elevator controller and drive upgrades

Replace outdated relay-based controllers with modern microprocessor systems. Improve ride quality, door timing, floor levelling, and energy consumption without replacing the entire lift.

Cabin and door operator modernisation

Upgrade cabin interiors, lighting, ventilation, and door operators to improve passenger experience and meet current safety standards. New door operators reduce entrapment risk and improve reliability.

Safety system upgrades

Bring older lifts into compliance with current safety standards. Upgrade overspeed governors, buffer systems, emergency lighting, intercom systems, and rescue operations capability.

HVAC efficiency upgrades

Replace ageing compressors, upgrade controls, install VFDs, and improve system sizing. Reduce energy costs and extend equipment life without full system replacement.

Condition assessment

Not sure whether your equipment needs modernisation or replacement? We carry out detailed assessments with clear recommendations and cost comparisons so you can make an informed decision.

Compliance-driven modernisation

Lagos enforcement has forced many buildings to upgrade their lifts to meet certification requirements. We handle the full process: assessment, specification, execution, testing, and certification support.

Buildings we serve

Ageing commercial towers
Hotels needing refurbishment
Hospitals with old lifts
Residential estates
Malls and retail
Government buildings

Non-proprietary modernisation

We modernise elevator and HVAC systems regardless of original manufacturer. If your building has old equipment from any brand, we can assess it and propose upgrade options without locking you into a single OEM.

CANNY and FUJI upgrade paths

For buildings considering a full equipment change during modernisation, we offer CANNY and FUJI systems as replacement options with full installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance support.

Modernisation challenges we solve

Equipment too old to maintain properly but too expensive to fully replace

Modernisation bridges this gap. Upgrading controllers, drives, and safety systems can extend equipment life by 10 to 15 years at 30 to 50% of full replacement cost, with far less building disruption.

Lagos certification requirements for older lifts

Mandatory elevator certification in Lagos means older lifts that cannot pass inspection need modernisation. We handle the full cycle: assessment, upgrade, testing, and certification support.

High energy costs from inefficient HVAC systems

Older HVAC systems run harder, break more, and waste energy. Targeted upgrades to compressors, controls, and system sizing reduce operating costs and improve tenant comfort.
