CALTECH Lifts says a new £1.37m high-rise lift-replacement project for Dundee City Council will help it towards its goals of achieving £4 million of annual revenue by next October and moving to larger premises in the City of Discovery.
The Dundee family firm began work recently on the project to replace eight ageing lifts in multi-storey flats at Dallfield Court, Hilltown Court, Tulloch Court and Bonnethill Court in the Hilltown area.
A remote monitoring system in the new lifts will allow Caltech to carry out preventative maintenance before occurrence of a breakdown during the warranty period. After that, the council’s lift team will be able to do the same using the lift software, the firm noted.
Caltech, run by brothers Andrew and Fraser Renwick, was awarded the contract in May after a competitive tender process and expects to complete the project in early 2024.
Dundee City Council is one of several public sector clients of Caltech, which also works for local authorities in Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, Angus, West Lothian, Perth and Kinross, and East Lothian.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
