We are not affiliated with any escalator maintenance or repair contractor, so our findings and our advice are about safety and code compliance only.
Escalator inspections we perform and support
- Annual and periodic escalator inspections
- Third-party and owner-representative inspections
- Acceptance inspections and witnessing of new units and alterations
- Category and special inspections and test witnessing
- Inspection report review and analysis
- Pre-inspection readiness assessments
- Post-inspection compliance verification
What our inspectors look at
Escalator inspections under ASME A17.1 and A17.2 focus on the devices that protect riders: step and skirt clearances, comb plate impact devices, handrail speed and entry guards, skirt obstruction devices, missing-step detection, brakes and stopping distance, emergency stop buttons, and the condition of the truss, steps and chains.
Findings are written so a property team can prioritize them and so a contractor’s proposal to correct them can be checked against what the code actually requires.
From inspection to documented compliance
- Review of inspection reports and notices of violation
- Tracking of deficiency corrections and deadlines
- Verification that corrective work was completed properly
- Coordination with maintenance providers
