BUILDING CONVEYING
SYSTEMS
Building conveying systems are vital in civil
engineering for efficiently moving people and
goods in buildings. They ensure efficient
movement, accessibility, and safety, requiring
careful planning and integration into the
building’s design.
DEFINITION
Building conveying systems include elevators, escalators,
and moving walkways, used to transport people and goods
vertically or horizontally within buildings.
PURPOSE
These systems improve accessibility, convenience, and
space usage, especially in multi-story buildings. In civil
engineering, they ensure the efficient movement of
occupants while maintaining safety and functionality.

IMPORTANCE OF Conveying systems, which are
CONVEYING SYSTEMS used to transport materials and
products in various industries,
are essential for smooth and
efficient operations. However,
their effectiveness hinges on
three crucial factors:
accessibility, efficiency, and
safety.
ACCESSIBILITY
Adaptability: Conveyors should be constructed Ease of Use: User-friendly controls and
to handle a variety of materials and sizes, interfaces make operation easier, lowering the
allowing for maximum operational flexibility. risk of errors and enhancing productivity.
Integration: Conveyors should connect
seamlessly with other equipment on the
manufacturing line to reduce material handling
and downtime.
EFFICIENCY
Optimizing Throughput: Conveyors must be Minimal Downtime: Reliable construction and
able to handle the required volume of material regular maintenance reduce breakdowns and
within specified timeframes, maximizing ensure continuous operation.

Cost savings: Efficient conveying systems can
Energy Efficiency: Optimizing power lead to significant cost savings through reduced
consumption can significantly lower operating energy consumption, less wear and tear on
costs. equipment, and minimized labor requirements.
SAFETY
Hazard Mitigation: Proper guarding and Emergency Stops: Emergency stop buttons
protective devices prevent accidents and injuries. should be readily accessible to halt operations
quickly in case of danger.

CAPACITY
Passenger Elevator: 2,000 to 4,000 pounds (907 to 1,814 kg)
Small Freight Elevators: 2,000 to 4,000 pounds (907 to 1,814 kg)
Medium Freight Elevators: 4,000 to 10,000 pounds (1,814 to 4,536 kg)
Large Freight Elevators: 10,000 to 20,000 pounds (4,536 to 9,072 kg) or more
Passenger Elevators
SPEED
Typical Speed: 200 to 500 feet per minute (fpm) (about 1 to 2.5 meters per second)
High-rise Buildings: 1,000 to 2,000 fpm (about 5 to 10 meters per second) .
Freight Elevators
Typical Speed: 100 to 300 fpm (about 0.5 to 1.5 meters per second)
Heavy-duty Freight Elevators: May operate at lower speeds, generally around 100 to
200 fpm (0.5 to 1 meter per second).
