2. Vertical Transportation Systems Are Vital:
Efficient elevator systems are very important for the
successful opera on of a building. Buildings fi ed with
well planned elevator systems move people faster, reduce
wai ng mes and the lobbies are not crowded. Such
buildings a ract high‐profile tenants protec ng the
returns on investment value in the real estate market.
A er all, elevator systems are the only electro‐
mechanical system that users see, touch, feel
and evaluate easily. VTME are specialized
elevator/escalator consultants with one‐stop
solu on from concept to comple on for all
types of elevator and escalator systems.
Elevator Traffic Analysis:
Under‐elevated buildings suffer from poor image and end
up with low rental returns. This is why elevator systems
must be planned by qualified and experienced engineers.
Our engineers stay updated with the latest elevator
technology and apply matching and sensible solu ons to
achieve an interna onally acceptable limit of wai ng
mes. We use proven ELEVATE® traffic analysis so ware
(UK) and are expert‐skilled in elevator traffic analysis. We
specialize in hospitals, high‐rise residen al buildings,
commercial buildings, shopping malls and entertainment
centers.
With our interna onal exposure to high‐end
building projects, we can provide expert
recommenda ons resul ng in economical &
cost effec ve solu ons which benefit the
owners.
We also provide consul ng services for
Escalators and Moving walks and help in
selec ng correct width, speed, safe &
comfortable inclina on with interna onally
recommended safety features.

Space planning, Core Dimensions:
VTME helps in iden fying the correct number of
elevator/escalator systems for any building, saving
valuable rental space.
Under‐sized li sha is a common problem which finally
reduces the car size. This affects the usability of the li
nega vely and results in non‐compliance to codes. We are
thorough with the dimensioning requirements of various
manufacturers and apply our in‐depth knowledge to
iden fy correct sizes for the li sha s and machine rooms
so that the desired li car sizes are achieved without a
problem.
Coordina ng li sha dimensions with the
structural design is very important in order to
avoid costly altera ons at a later stage. Such
altera ons pose a permanent risk to the safety
of the structure and cause addi onal damages
to fire protec on and water‐proofing of the
structure.

Coordination and Design Integration:
Architectural & Interior Issues:
We have extensive experience in integra ng elevator
systems with structural, MEP, extra‐low voltage, fire
alarm, fire protec on, smoke migra on, emergency
communica on, access control security, and building
monitoring systems. With our qualified engineers' expert
guidance, the elevator systems are promptly integrated
and work in tandem with other engineering systems
within the building.
Elevators are as important as an entrance to a
building. Moreover, Elevator cabs are confined
spaces where users are forced to travel with
strangers. In order to make this a pleasant
experience, we recommend interes ng cab
decora ons, media displays and interac ve
features. To impress the users, Elevators must
look classy with neat finishes, best interior
decora on, interior ligh ng, clear signals and
indicators.
Our vast experience with specialized
interior decorators means the ability to
develop top‐class interior design for the
elevator cab and entrances, to control
the quality of elevator finishes & the
workmanship to the top notch.
