  • Tower Planned as Part of North Sydney Metro Station
    Otis Elevator (China) Co., Ltd. will provide nine "super double-deck elevators" for Haikou Twin Towers. "Super double-deck" technology automatically adjusts the height between the cars in the double-deck configuration to give architects more freedom to plan diverse floor heights. The under-construction towers are each to rise approximately 428 m above the city's new Central Business District to become the new high-rise landmark on Hainan Island, an international tourism destination off the coast of southern China. Part of modernization efforts of the entire city of Haikou, China, they are to provide 720,000 m2 of mixed-use space for more than 20,000 people and attract at least 3 million tourists each year, China Plus reported. The South Tower is to be complete in 2020, with the North Tower wrapping up in 2023.
     
    Oracle Elevator Co. has named Craig Jones director of acquisitions. Jones brings extensive experience in leading organizations through strategic growth initiatives, mergers and acquisitions, and expanding into new market territories. 
    Prior to joining Oracle Elevator, Jones worked as a consultant with E Squared Management, a company he co-founded and served as vice president of Client Strategy. He has held executive leadership roles with Albany International, a US$200 million subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY, a Swedish door and lock company that provides automated entrance and security solutions, and also worked for thyssenkrupp Elevator as national director of sales in the Vertical Express Division across the U.S. and Caribbean markets. In a news release, the company said, “The addition of Craig to Oracle’s senior leadership team affirms the company’s commitment to expanding [its] geographical footprint through aggressive acquisition strategies.” Oracle is headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and is a leading independent provider of elevator maintenance, repair and modernization services across the U.S.
     
    Oshawa, Canada-based EHC Global, Inc. recently gained a major client for its patented ADRail™ escalator handrail film when multinational athletic shoe and apparel manufacturer New Balance began advertising on vertical-transportation equipment at the Sports Experts flagship store in downtown Montreal. The advertising campaign, launched on January 25, uses ADRail graphic film installed by technicians directly over the escalator handrails in the store. ADRail, designed for short-term advertising, branding and safety campaigns on escalators and moving walks, does not affect the performance or service life of the handrail. To date, EHC and its global network of licensees have completed more than 2,000 installations worldwide.
     
    Transport for NSW (New South Wales) is seeking approval for a 42-story office tower atop the planned Victoria Cross metro station in North Sydney, ArchitectureAU reports. The application asks for a maximum height of 168 m and maximum gross floor area of 60,000 m2. The design, by Bates Smart, calls for a glazed tower formed of stacked, stepped volumes and allows for several "sky gardens." It would include a podium using "Y" columns to create a lobby, station entrance and concourse that would leave the public space open, allowing for unimpeded foot traffic.

  • KEB America Certified To New ISO Standard
    Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. This week’s news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: http://www.elevatorbooks.com
    KEB AMERICA CERTIFIED TO NEW ISO STANDARD
    KEB America, Inc. has announced the ISO 9001:2015 certification of its Shakopee, Minnesota, production facility. The certification was issued after the facility met the criteria set by The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and passed an audit displaying zero nonconformities. ISO 9001:2015 applies to a facility’s quality-management and quality-assurance systems. The company had previously been certified under 9001:2008. The 2015 standard is similar in many ways to the previous one, but with an additional focus on risk management. KEB was able to demonstrate processes to address issues posted by ISO in this area and reevaluated and updated its plans.
    CANopen LIFT HOLDS PLUGFEST AND SIG MEETING
    CAN in Automation (CiA) members met on March 13-14 in Nuremburg, Germany, to discuss the CiA 417 application profile and test their CANopen Lift products on interoperability. CiA reports CiA 417 for elevator control systems continues to gain acceptance in Europe, noting the recent membership of several elevator device suppliers in CiA. About 35 engineers from 20 companies participated, including manufacturers Meiller and Siemens, KEB, Variotech, and Ziehl-Abegg. CiA’s Special Interest Group (SIG) CANopen Lift discussed the next steps for CiA 417 development, agreeing to adapt the CANopen FD application layer for future versions. Changes will simplify the software, save CAN-IDs (which users are running out of) and other benefits.
    LUXURY TOWER TO RISE IN MELBOURNE
    An L-shaped residential building planned for Melbourne being touted as a luxury residence on one of the city's premier streets is set to rise, Domain reported in May. With expansive glass features and construction of textured concrete and custom Australian bricks, 85 Spring Street, as the building is called, will stand 39 stories and feature exterior and interior design by Bates Smart. According to realestate.com.au, 85 Spring Street will have 138 units. Completion is scheduled for late 2020.
    THREE HURT WHEN ESCALATOR CHANGES DIRECTION
    Three people at a New Jersey rail transit station were hurt when an escalator they were riding suddenly reversed direction, causing them to fall, northjersey.com reports. Police said the injured were riding up an escalator at NJ Transit's Secaucus Junction station on May 29 when it suddenly changed direction. Two of the injured declined medical treatment, but the third was taken to a hospital. An NJ Transit spokeswoman said the hospitalized rider did not suffer life-threatening injuries. The escalator was taken out of service while the issue was being investigated. It was determined to be a brake problem, which was quickly repaired, nj.com reported.
