WVIP · Automated parking systems
Rethink parking. Reclaim the city.
Automated and mechanical parking systems that fit more cars into less space. WVIP designs, installs and services them for developers, architects and builders across North America.
01 — Technologies
Find the right system for your site
Every site is different: depth, height, entrance position, number of users. Start with a technology, or let us recommend one.
Fully automated
Drivers leave the car in a cabin; lifts and shuttles park it.
Semi-automated
Platforms lift and slide so every driver reaches their own car.
Mechanical stackers
Two to six cars stacked in the footprint of one space.
Turntables
Rotate cars and trucks so they always drive out forward.
Car lifts
Move cars between levels where a ramp will not fit.
Bike parking
Wall-mounted lifts and automated bike towers.
Shifting platforms
Slide a parked car aside to reach blocked spaces.
How many cars fit your site?
Enter your site dimensions in the estimator and get a first space count and a system to start with.
02 — Why automated parking
We minimize what slows projects down
Automated and mechanical parking turns the garage from a large, deep structure into a compact machine. That changes the numbers for the whole building, not just the parking.
Excavation depth
Compact systems fit more cars per level, so garages can be shallower or smaller.
Construction time
Fewer ramps and drive aisles mean less structure to design and build.
CO2 emissions
No circling for a space and no idling on ramps: engines stay off inside the garage.
Crime
With automated systems, drivers never walk through the storage area. Only the system can reach the cars.
54 cars on three levels inside a 15 m × 33 m footprint. No ramp, no drive aisles, and the ground floor stays free for the lobby.
View the project03 — How we work
Six stages. One contract. No handoffs.
Most parking suppliers sell equipment and hand the rest to someone else. WVIP carries design, engineering, procurement, installation, commissioning and maintenance itself, so the same team answers your questions in year one and in year fifteen.
Design
We size the system to your building while the design is still moving, so capacity and layout shape the massing instead of reacting to it.
Engineering
Schematics, 3D models and shop drawings are done in house. Budget estimates within 72 hours, code-approved drawings in four to six weeks.
Procurement
A vetted global network of manufacturing partners, so we specify the system your site needs, not the one we happen to stock.
Installation
Our own crews set the steel, rails, lifts and shuttles, working directly with your structural, electrical and mechanical trades.
Commissioning
We test the system, tune the controls and certify the installation with the authority having jurisdiction before handover.
Maintenance
Certified, PLC-trained technicians and fully stocked, GPS-tracked service vehicles on the road, on call 24/7 for the life of the system.
WVIP in motion
Every square metre a ramp takes is a square metre your building loses.
WVIP removes the ramp. We design, engineer, install, commission and maintain automated parking systems that fit the site you already have, not the site a conventional garage would demand.
