Government Project Elevators

Government projects involving standard elevators focus on public and government buildings, prioritizing accessibility, safety, and efficiency. These projects typically include:

• Installation: Installing new lifts in public buildings such as courthouses, hospitals, and government offices. These installations adhere to strict safety and accessibility standards, including requirements in India's National Building Code (NBC).
• Modernization: Upgrading older elevators to meet current technology and safety standards, improving efficiency and energy use.
• Maintenance: Government departments often tender comprehensive annual maintenance contracts (AMCs) to ensure safe, ongoing operation.
• Specialized Elevators: Includes lifts with special functions such as fireman’s lifts for emergency services or stretcher lifts in hospitals.

Lift Irrigation Projects

In this context, "elevator" or "lift" refers to infrastructure projects that use pumps to raise water from lower levels to higher ones for agricultural use. These projects are a major part of government-led water and agricultural development.

• Mechanism: Large pumps, motors, and canal systems lift water from rivers, reservoirs, or other sources.
• Purpose: To provide water for irrigation of lands at higher elevations that cannot be irrigated by traditional gravity-based canals.
• Examples: Large-scale projects like the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (Telangana) and Upper Bhadra Project (Karnataka).
• Procurement: Government tenders cover the supply of pumps, installation, and civil works for these projects.
