KONE to provide People Flow in a Bangkok residential high-rise development
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
KONE Corporation, press release, July 13, 2012
KONE has won an order to deliver 32 eco-efficient elevators to a new residential
high-rise development Noble Ploenchit in Bangkok, Thailand. KONE's solutions
will be delivered to four buildings - three towers with luxury condominiums and
one office building - to provide smooth and exclusive People FlowTM without the
bother of walking through the common area to the residents and office workers.
The highest building rises to 185 meters.
Space-efficiency and privacy in the surrounding energetic city center were an
important part of the building design and KONE was involved in the early stages
by offering its space saving solutions to meet the customer requirements. The
order includes 20 KONE MiniSpaceTM elevators with a compact machine room; the
majority of the elevators will be for the residents' private use. MiniSpace
elevators are especially suited for high-rise buildings, and they will travel at
a speed of 4 m/s taking residents from the lobby to the 50th floor in
approximately one minute. They come equipped with regenerative drives which
recover the energy from ascending and descending elevators. The order includes
an additional 12 KONE 3000S MonoSpace elevators, which do not require a machine
room. All the elevators lifted by the energy-efficient KONE EcoDisc® hoisting
machine, and the KONE E-Link monitoring system will help ensure a high service
level of the equipment.
"We are honored to provide our space- and eco-efficient elevators to Noble
Ploenchit, Noble Development's latest project," says Noud Veeger, EVP and Area
Director of KONE Asia Pacific and Middle East.
The building complex is developed by Noble Development (Noble Development, 900
Ploenchit Road, Pathumwan Bangkok 10330, Thailand. www.noblehome.com). Inspired
by Le Corbusier's idea of a vertical garden city, Noble Ploenchit has been
designed by IAW and the main contractor is Bouygues-Thai Ltd. The building is
expected to be completed in 2015. The order was booked in the second quarter of
2012.
