  • After Elevator Fatality, Sri Lankan Lawmaker Wants Change
    Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast.
    This week’s news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com
    AFTER ELEVATOR FATALITY, SRI LANKAN LAWMAKER WANTS CHANGE
    Sri Lankan Parliamentarian Ravi Karunanayake says he plans to introduce a law requiring all the country's elevators to be registered and regulated, the Daily Mirror reported. The move came on the heels of a 24-year-old man dying in an elevator accident in Colombo in late December 2018, and, later, members of Parliament becoming stuck in an elevator. Karunanayake said there are approximately 25,800 elevators operating in Sri Lanka, but none have been registered. Should other incidents occur, someone should be held responsible, he said, calling for annual registration and certificates to be displayed for all units.

    This week’s news podcast is sponsored by EscaTEQ: www.escateq.com
    ROTTERDAM BLITZ SURVIVOR TO BE REBORN WITH TOWER
    The former Rotterdam post office in the Coolsingel District of Rotterdam, Netherlands, is set to be reborn as a mixed-use development incorporating a 150-m-tall, 43-story hotel tower, dezeen reports. Built in 1916, the post office boasts a 22.5-m-high Great Hall and is one of the only structures to survive the Rotterdam Blitz in 1940. New York City-based ODA Architecture is collaborating with Dutch practice Braaksma & Roos Architenbureau on the design, which will preserve and transform the 58,000-m2 historic structure and have the tower rise from a vaulted plinth in an existing courtyard. Accessed by two street-level entrances lined with cafés and shops, Rotterdam Post will also have residential and retail components.
