| Kone wins order for two high-rise towers in Istanbul Finnish lift and escalator maker Kone has won an order to supply 14 elevators for the high-rise Anthill Residence project in Istanbul. The client for the project is the Turkish company Ant Yapi, who has worked with Kone in the past, notably on the remarkable Capital City project in Moscow where Kone supplied 52 elevators and 6 escalators. The project consists of two residential towers with 54 floors each. The prestigious elevators will carry passengers to their floor at a speed of 6 m/s. The Anthill Residence towers will be the first in Turkey to use high-rise elevators powered by Kone EcoDisc technology, making it also a pioneer in terms of energy efficiency. The installation of the equipment will start in December of this year and it is estimated to be complete in December 2010. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
