Modernization Done Right: Douglasville Water Authority Elevator Upgrade
When it comes to elevator modernization, success is about more than just replacing old equipment—it’s about improving reliability, safety, and long-term performance. That’s exactly what Georgia Lift Solutions delivered with a recent full modernization project at the Douglasville Water Authority.

A Complete Transformation
The existing system—a 30-year-old Dover DMC—had reached the point where ongoing maintenance was no longer the most effective solution. Aging components, limited parts availability, and outdated technology made modernization the clear path forward.
Georgia Lift Solutions stepped in with a comprehensive approach, upgrading every critical component to bring the elevator system into a new era of performance and dependability.
Modern Equipment, Smarter Performance
The project included the installation of:
Alpha Controls for precise, reliable operation
GAL door equipment to improve door performance and reduce service issues
Innovation fixtures for a clean, modern look and improved user experience
Beyond the hardware upgrades, the system was equipped with two-way communication through Elevated Monitoring, providing enhanced safety and real-time connectivity. This ensures passengers always have a direct line of communication, while also giving building managers better visibility into system performance.
The Result
The transformation was immediate and impactful:
Smoother, more reliable operation
Increased safety and code compliance
Reduced downtime and maintenance concerns
A modernized appearance that reflects the facility’s professionalism
Most importantly, the Douglasville Water Authority now has an elevator system they can depend on for years to come.
