Before you decide — Howrah FAQs
Up to six stops, 1.0 m/s is comfortable. Beyond that, 1.5-1.75 m/s keeps waiting times acceptable in Howrah buildings. Higher speeds raise cost and shaft requirements, so Rieka specifies against your actual Howrah building height rather than selling the fastest option.
Rieka specifies VFD drives on Glass Elevator units, which draw up to 40% less than older two-speed machines. For a typical Howrah building the monthly running cost of a glass elevator is modest; the engineer calculates the actual figure for your stop count and usage pattern during the survey.
Yes. Rieka fabricates Glass Elevator structures, cabins and doors in-house, so shaft dimensions, door openings and finishes are built to your drawings rather than forced into a catalogue size. For the industrial units, dense residential and railway buildings common in Howrah, that flexibility usually decides the project.
In West Bengal, a Glass Elevator must comply with the National Building Code 2016 and the applicable state lift rules, with an inspection before commissioning. Rieka prepares the drawings, files the application and attends the inspection for every glass elevator project in Howrah - you do not deal with the department.
Quarterly preventive servicing is the baseline for a Glass Elevator in Howrah - door operator, brake, ropes, safety gear and controller checks, with a signed log each visit. Heavy-traffic or high-dust sites move to monthly. Rieka quotes glass elevator AMC rates separately so you can see what you are paying for.
Yes, and glass elevator retrofits are a large part of what we do in Howrah, because most industrial units, dense residential and railway buildings here were built before lifts were standard. The engineer checks load-bearing capacity, available shaft space and headroom, then proposes a configuration that fits - for a Glass Elevator that often means a compact or pitless build.
