| Kone to supply lifts for Netherlands’ biggest governmental building Finnish lift and escalator maker Kone has secured an order to supply all elevators for the new Ministry of Justice and Internal Affairs building in Den Haag, Netherlands. Located in the centre of the city, the building will be the government's biggest in the Netherlands. The building complex will comprise two 140-meter towers and will be equipped with 25 elevators. Four of them will be Kone JumpLiftTM elevators, which boost the buildings' vertical transportation capacity during construction time by growing with the building. Installation of the equipment will begin in 2008 and is estimated to be completed in 2012. The contractors for the project are Ballast Nedam and BAM and the architect is Hans Kollhoff Architecten. A 125-meter high residential tower called "De Kroon" (the Crown) will be built next to the building and will also be equipped with Kone elevators. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
