CONSOLIDATED SURVEY & SITE VISIT INFORMATION:
The entire witness box level is a lift platform. In the ambulatory witness setting, the platform
is raised 7 IN and maintained under hydraulic pressure.
The gaps at the perimeter of the platform and the enclosure are minimum. All edge conditions
are finished with a molding element.
This project was a retrofit, from office space, and required cutting the floor slab down 4 IN for the
lift equipment pit.
The electrical panel and hydraulic motor are accessible through a well-detailed removable floor
section.
The millwork enclosure appears lower than 42 IN minimum height required, when lift is raised to judge's
bench level.
