Modernization Journey - Week 6

Written By Sean McMannis

Apologies for the delayed update. I was on vacation last week. If you missed our previous weeks or just want a refresher, you can catch them here:

Last week, Jon was doing a lot of wiring. This week, he’s preparing for our final inspection. That means he’s bringing out weighs. In this case, that’s 2500 pounds. He’ll be tuning the control valve and overspeed valve to operate at full capacity. Jon will also be adjusting the door pressure.

A view from the car top.

Mini split indoor unit to control machine room temperature.

Modified oil line includes a mainline strainer and shut off valve. All piping is supported with isolation clamps to reduce vibrations.

New pit lighting, ladder and stop switch.

New car riding lanterns.

Car operating panel all wired up.

Car top - inspection station, door operator, new roller guides.

New disconnect and electrical.

A view inside the power unit - control valve, silencer and isolation coupling.

If all goes to plan, we’ll be ready to call for inspection next week.

There is nothing that Sean enjoys more than helping a customer solve an elevator issue. Since 2008, he has witnessed a deterioration in the services provided throughout the industry. Sean prides himself on being responsive and honest. He takes the time to educate elevator owners and help them understand their options. After spending time at various elevator companies, Sean joined Washington Elevator because he believes building owners and managers crave a company focused on people, not profits.

With more than 15 years of elevator experience, Sean’s goal is to proactively address all elevator issues so that you can focus on your business.

When Sean isn’t helping customers, you can find him playing on the soccer field, cheering on the Sounders and enjoying activities with his wife and their two young kids.
