UAA FACING ELEVATOR-INSPECTION BACKLOG
The University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) is facing an elevator-inspection backlog, with 20 of the 51 elevators on its main campus overdue for inspection, some by more than two years, The Northern Light reports. Required once every two years and taking anywhere from 1 hr. to half a day, inspections at UAA are handled by the Municipality of Anchorage, which recently increased its number of inspectors from two to three. UAA officials say they are confident in the elevators’ safety, since they undergo monthly maintenance under a contract with an OEM, and that the 20 units overdue for inspection will be inspected by July 2017.
