Lift Enhancement Programme (LEP)
As part of the 10-year plan to upgrade more than 18,500 lifts in Housing and Development Board estates, the LEP will add better safety features such as high-tech sensors to monitor the lift speed and emergency communication system to the existing lifts. The new features include:
- Ascending car over speed protection, which monitors and reduces lift speed.
- Unintended car movement protection, which guards against the failure of lift components.
- Slacken governor rope electrical safety device, which initiates a stop when necessary.
- Car apron, which reduces the risk of people at the lift landing falling into the lift shaft.
- Light curtains, which function as a door protective device.
- Electrical safety interlocking for multiple-panel doors, which ensures lifts will remain in place when doors are open.
- Automatic rescue device, which brings a lift to the nearest landing and opens the doors if there is a power failure.
- Emergency communications system.
In Yuhua, lift enhancement for 47 lifts have been completed, while an additional 278 are eligible and due for upgrading under the LEP.
