Learn about the stages of elevator installation in Kuwait with Al-Quds International Company.

Introduction
Elevators are one of the most important innovations that have transformed our daily lives, becoming an essential component of every modern building, whether residential, commercial, or administrative. With the significant urban development in Kuwait, the need for high-quality elevators installed according to the highest international standards has increased.
In this article, we will take you on a comprehensive tour of the stages of elevator installation in Kuwait with Al-Quds International Company, a leading company in the field of elevators of various types. We will explain the precise steps that ensure safe and efficient performance that lasts for years.

First: Study the Site and Determine Requirements
The process of installing elevators begins with a fundamental step that cannot be overlooked: the site survey.
The Al-Quds International Company team visits the building to accurately assess the space allocated for the elevator and ensure its compliance with engineering and technical requirements. The appropriate type of elevator is also determined—whether passenger, freight, panoramic, or home—based on the customer's needs and nature of use.

This stage also includes determining:

The number of floors to be connected to the elevator.

The required load capacity.

The required elevator speed.

Type of operating system (hydraulic, electric, machine room-less).

The goal of this step is to develop a precise engineering plan that ensures the successful installation of elevators with the highest levels of efficiency and safety.

Second: Preparing Designs and Technical Drawings
After the field inspection is completed, the stage of preparing the technical drawings and executive designs begins.
At Al Quds International Company, advanced engineering programs are used to design the elevator according to the building specifications and local and international safety regulations.
These drawings are approved by the relevant authorities in Kuwait to ensure compliance with all standards.

The design includes:

The exact dimensions of the elevator shaft.

The location of the doors on each floor.

The distribution of cables and electrical systems.

The locations of safety devices and control systems.

This stage is the cornerstone of a successful elevator installation process without any future problems.

Third: Preparing the Installation Site
Before the actual elevator installation process begins, the work site is prepared to ensure ease of implementation and the safety of the team.
This includes cleaning and preparing the elevator shaft, creating the necessary concrete foundations for installing the machines, and preparing the electrical sources and ensuring they meet the required specifications.

Al Quds International Company also ensures that all safety measures are taken before commencing work, including placing barriers and warning signs to ensure the safety of workers and building residents.

Fourth: Installing the Elevator's Mechanical Structure
At this stage, the actual installation process begins, with the metal frame, which forms the elevator's backbone, being installed inside the elevator shaft.
The work includes installing:

The rails guiding the cabin's movement and the counterweight.

The propulsion units and levers.

The brake and stabilization systems.

This is accomplished using precise tools to ensure the straightness and safety of the installation.
Al Quds International Company places great importance on the quality of the materials used in elevator installation to ensure durability and longevity.

Fifth: Installing the Cab (Inner Car)
The cabin is the part that the user interacts directly with, so the company ensures that it is comfortable, safe, and attractive in design.
The cabin's metal frame is then assembled and clad in premium materials such as stainless steel, glass, or wood, depending on the customer's preference.
The cabin is also equipped with appropriate lighting, an internal control panel, and emergency communication systems.

Given Al Quds International Company's extensive experience in elevator installation, this stage is executed with utmost care to ensure both comfort and aesthetics.

Sixth: Installation of Electrical and Electronic Systems
This stage is considered one of the most delicate in elevator installation, as all electrical circuits for the motor, control panels, and safety systems are connected.
The electronic control unit is programmed to determine the elevator's speed, its response to commands, and the door opening and closing system.
Sensors and emergency systems are also installed to ensure smooth and safe operation.

Al Quds International Company relies on the latest European and Japanese technologies in control systems to ensure efficiency and precision.

Seventh: Testing and Trial Operation
After the full installation is complete, the testing stage begins, which is considered one of the most important stages of elevator installation.
This stage is inspected to ensure safe operation and system responsiveness.
Tests include verifying:

The elevator's accurate response to commands.

The braking system's efficiency.

The operation of emergency and alarm systems.

The accuracy of stopping at each floor.

The elevator is not delivered to the customer until it has fully complied with all quality and safety standards approved in Kuwait.

Eighth: Delivery and Training
After a successful trial run, the elevator is officially delivered to the customer, along with an explanation of how to use it correctly.
Al-Quds International Company also provides a training session for building staff or users on how to operate the elevator in normal and emergency situations.

The company also provides all technical documentation, warranty certificates, and a periodic maintenance schedule to ensure continued optimal performance after the elevator installation.

Ninth: Periodic Maintenance and Performance Guarantee
The elevator installation process does not end with delivery. Rather, a new phase of follow-up and periodic maintenance begins, ensuring continued efficiency and safe operation.
Al-Quds International Company offers flexible maintenance contracts to suit each customer's needs, including regular inspection of mechanical and electrical components and performing necessary upgrades when needed.
