We handle scheduling and tracking for all mandatory inspections, monitor open violations, and manage paperwork and payments to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

With proactive monitoring across jurisdictions, we handle all aspects of your elevator and escalator portfolio compliance management needs while you focus on delivering an exceptional student experience.

National Inspections

As an experienced elevator and escalator management company, we know firsthand that universities often manage large portfolios of buildings, each subject to different inspection calendars and local codes. With a team of over 185 Qualified Elevator Inspectors (QEI), we stay up to date with inspection protocols and regulatory updates in every city and county where you operate. Our escalator and elevator national inspection service includes:

  • Inspection planning and scheduling: We proactively coordinate inspections with building staff and maintenance vendors, handling all the details.  

  • Inspection tracking: Thanks to our robust portfolio management for escalators and elevators, we track inspections across your campus locations. You'll always be aware of scheduled inspections and violations.

With ATIS overseeing your university's elevator inspections, you can rest assured that every asset remains code-compliant and that your institution is protected from lapses and violations.

We use data analytics and centralized reporting to help you make informed decisions that reduce costs and extend the lifespan of vertical transportation across your university buildings.
