| Kone to supply elevators for the Delhi Metro  Finnish lift and escalator maker Kone has won an order to supply all elevators for the second phase of the construction process of the Delhi Metro in India. The order is one of the largest single orders for Kone in India, including 162 elevators. In addition, Kone has been awarded the planning and installation of a Centralized Monitoring System. The installation of the new elevators will start in 2007 and is estimated to be completed in 2010.Kone has offered elevators and escalators for the earlier stages of the construction process. The existing elevators will be linked to a new centralized monitoring system, which Kone will install in conjunction with the new elevators. The central monitoring system enables remote monitoring of the status, traffic and faults, resulting in valuable system information for analysis. The construction process of the Delhi Metro started in 1998 and final extensions are estimated to be completed in 2010. The unique feature of the Delhi Metro is its integration with other modes of public transport, enabling the commuters to conveniently interchange from one mode to another. The Delhi Metro is one of the trendsetters for such systems among other cities in the South Asian region. The metro is operated by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
