Houston Elevator Codes Webinar

As industry experts anticipate ASME A17.3 adopting flood detection requirements (mirroring the A17.1 code), building owners and elevator contractors in Houston face the critical question:

If ASME A17.3 eventually includes flood detection, how can we prepare now to avoid expensive retrofits later?

Under Houston’s 3003.4 code for Emergency Hoistway Water Sensors, elevator contractors must already be familiar with local requirements. This webinar will bridge the gap between Houston’s ordinance and the evolving national A17.1/A17.3 standards—arming both contractors and building owners with actionable insights.

What You’ll Learn

• Houston 3003.4 vs. ASME A17.1/A17.3: Key distinctions in sensor thresholds, installation protocols, and testing frequency.

• Flood Detection Mandates on the Horizon: What’s changing in ASME A17.3, estimated timelines, and how to interpret proposed language.

• Cost-Benefit Analysis: Strategies to budget for sensor installation now versus paying for retrofits after A17.3 is adopted.

• Implementation Best Practices: Site assessment tips, recommended equipment, and compliance checklists—tailored for Houston’s climate and code enforcement.

• Real-World Case Studies: Success stories from Houston contractors who have already navigated 3003.4 requirements, including common pitfalls to avoid.

Why This Matters

Avoid Unplanned Expenses: Proactively upgrading your hoistway water sensors today can save tens of thousands in retrofit costs when A17.3 flood detection becomes mandatory.
Stay Code-Ready: By understanding both local and national codes, contractors can bid more accurately and building owners can ensure continuous elevator operation—even during heavy rains or flooding events.
Enhance Tenant Safety & Confidence: Demonstrate to tenants and stakeholders that your building proactively mitigates flood risks in elevator shafts, reducing liability and downtime.
