Aberto em 1911, o edifício é a casa criada para propósito do Garantia do fígado real Grupo, que havia sido configurado na cidade em 1850 para fornecer locais com a possibilidade de obter um relato de que a primeira construção do mundo.
One of the first buildings in the world to be built using reinforced concrete, O edifício real do fígado é de 98,2 m (322 pés) de altura até o topo dos pináculos e 50,9 m (167 pés) para o teto principal. O prédio do fígado é um dos marcos mais reconhecíveis da cidade de Liverpool e abriga duas lendárias
Once one of the tallest buildings in the country, the Royal Liver Building is now only the joint- fifth tallest structure in the City of Liverpool.
Today the Royal Liver Building is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city of Liverpool and is home to two fabled Birds no fígado que vigia a cidade e o mar. A legenda tem que eram esses dois pássaros para voar, então a cidade deixaria de existir. No icônico edifício real do fígado, estendendo -se por mais de 20 anos e conhecia o portfólio de elevador muito bem

Throughout his career in the lift industry, Peter Ferguson from CBRE had been involved at the iconic Royal Liver Building, stretching back over 20 years and knew the lift portfolio very well
em 1995, os elevadores naquele momento em que mantidos pelo OEM, como todos os elevadores instalados dentro do edifício, onde da mesma fabricação e instalação. Eventualmente, o investimento foi feito em todas as unidades de elevação e as obras de atualização foram concluídas por volta de 2004.
Peter se envolveu mais uma vez no edifício através da CBRE a partir de 2016 e foi capaz de identificar que, embora alguns investimentos tenham sido feitos para as mercadorias que não seriam mais problemáticas e não confiáveis. - Uma configuração de 1: 1 com guias de canto cruzado e entrada adjacente para servir a área da baía de carregamento. As melhorias podem ser feitas convertendo a instalação para 2: 1 CA sem engrenagem VF com um sistema de controle de protocolo aberto de alta qualidade. CBRE Fomos instruídos a prosseguir com um exercício de ternura. e funda de carros, mas introduza polias do carro e do contrapeso na estrutura para permitir que a configuração de 2 a 1 seja alcançada. Com isso, os portões manuais originais agora se tornariam automáticos. Novamente, uma abordagem muito inovadora e de visão de futuro para o projeto.
Previous works undertaken by others on this unit did not improve reliability and more importantly potential efficiency, because the installation remained as was originally designed – a 1:1 configuration with cross corner guides and adjacent entrance to serve the Loading Bay area.
Due to the unreliability experienced on site, Peter considered how the client could improve not only the reliability of the equipment but also the efficiency
As the general installation was still a majority of OEM hardware with a different manufacturer closed protocol two speed control system and a planetary gearbox hoisting machine; improvements could be made by converting the installation to 2:1 gearless AC VF with a high-quality open protocol control system.
After speaking to the building manager Mr Ian Edwards and explaining the considerations and expected benefits, we agreed to further develop the potential for a major Project.
Peter contacted trusted suppliers that he had have worked with for many years and shared his thoughts on how to improve the lift in general and at this point, CBRE we were instructed to proceed with a tender exercise.
Peter drew up the technical performance specification accordingly.
One of the complexities and challenges to the project was that lift would need to remain with adjacent entrances to be able to meet the buildings requirements for operation.
Using an innovative approach, the lift was designed in such a way that it could retain the cross-corner guides, and car sling but introduce car and counterweight diverter pulleys to the structure to enable the 2-to-1 configuration to be achieved. With that the original manual gates would now become automatic. Again, a very innovative and forward-thinking approach to the project.

Aços estruturais principais que funcionam perpendiculares da entrada do contrapeso à frente. Operação a ser realizada, e também corte e modificação de cada suporte de contrapeso no eixo, pois o original é um forte guia de abrangência de colchetes C e fixo centralmente. Bar. necessária)
The CBRE brief outlined by Peter Ferguson was to assess the feasibility of the adaption to 2:1 roping and put forward offer (possibly including the replacement or modification of Counterweight guides to facilitate the adaptions).
Besides the fact that due to the major works ongoing in a very busy building, our survey times had to be minimised and strictly scheduled
One of the biggest challenges, was that the lift car served adjacent entrances at 90⁰ to each other with “Cross Corner” type guides resulting in the Crown Bar running at a 45⁰ in relation to the Counterweight (as well as doors) , and main structural steels running perpendicular from Counterweight to front entrance.
There are three 8″ x 12″ I-beams supporting the installation, two running between the Counterweight guides, prompting the suggested option on the tender return of moving a guide which would have allowed two pulleys to be used in a configuration best suited to avoid beams , however this would have necessitated the whole shaft to have been scaffolded to allow operation to be carried out , and also cutting and modification of every Counterweight bracket in the shaft as original is a heavy C-Bracket spanning guides and fixed centrally.
Tommy Murphy, (Director and Co-Owner with Steve Fitzgerald of Knowsley Lift Services) and Peter looked at various pulley arrangements as an alternative, to try to avoid steels and have new car pulleys running in line with crown bar.
Collectively they finally came up with an option of fitting a bespoke size pulley on the weight which centralised ropes in available space between beams and guides , and rotated the car pulley at an angle of 45⁰ to crown bar , fixed above centre of gravity of car.
(As always, a “plan B” was considered in the event that minor modification to steelwork was required once equipment fitted and extra clearance needed)
Conselhos foram procurados por engenheiro estrutural para garantir que o mesmo fosse aceitável e que possa ser montado uma rajamento extra para preservar a integridade estrutural)
