KONE to supply 41 elevators for new Super-Hospital in Bristol, UK
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
KONE Corporation, Press Release, July 13, 2010
KONE has secured an order for 41 energy efficient elevators for the new
state-of-the-art Southmead Hospital in Bristol, UK. The contract was awarded to
KONE by Carillion plc, the main contractor for the EUR 500 million Public
Private Partnership (PPP) scheme.
"We are delighted to have been chosen by Carillion for this exciting
development," says Noud Veeger, EVP and Area Director for Central and North
Europe, KONE. "The award strengthens our good relationship and we are looking
forward to working together to deliver an outstanding hospital for the people of
Bristol."
The elevators feature KONE's regenerative drive systems which can recover up to
20% of an elevator's total energy consumption, reducing the building electricity
usage and providing considerable cost savings over the lifetime of the
equipment. This technology will also help the hospital reach a BREEAM energy
rating of "excellent" once it is completed.
The new 800-bed super-hospital will concentrate on acute services, currently
provided at Southmead and Frenchay hospitals, and will provide world-class
healthcare to over 500,000 people in the area. Advanced construction work
started in August last year and the hospital is due to open in early 2014.
The order was booked in Q2 of 2010.
