About usHow does Fix Engineering approach a project?
We assess each building's needs and technical conditions separately, then manage the applicable solution through a clear work plan and regular communication.
GeneralWhat information should I provide for a quotation?
The building location, system type, intended use and the service you need are sufficient for an initial review. Technical details are clarified during the meeting or site survey.
GeneralIs a site survey required before every job?
It depends on the scope. A survey supports accurate planning for new installations, major modernizations and faults requiring an on-site assessment.
ElevatorsHow does a new elevator project begin?
We first assess the building use, traffic, required capacity and architectural conditions. The suitable system, project scope and implementation steps are then defined.
ElevatorsWhen should elevator modernization be considered?
Modernization may be considered when faults repeat, performance declines, use requirements change, components reach the end of their service life or inspection findings require improvement.
EscalatorsWhat is checked during escalator maintenance?
Steps, handrails, entry and exit areas, safety devices, the drive system and operating noise are checked according to the maintenance plan.
EscalatorsWhat should be done if there is unusual noise or vibration?
The system should be taken out of service safely and technical service contacted. It should not be restarted before the fault has been assessed.
Maintenance & ServiceAre maintenance and fault service the same?
No. Maintenance covers scheduled checks and planned work. Fault service identifies an existing technical problem and determines the appropriate response.
Maintenance & ServiceWhat is the difference between periodic inspection and maintenance?
Maintenance is the technical service that supports regular operation. Periodic inspection is an independent conformity assessment performed by an authorized Type A inspection body.
Maintenance & ServiceWhat information is needed when reporting a fault?
Please provide the address, building or project name, system type, observed symptom and contact details. An error code or safely captured image can support the initial review.
