KONE Corporation, press release, March 21, 2013
KONE has won an order for 31 elevators and four KONE TravelMaster® 110
escalators to be installed at the Hainan Tower, a landmark construction project
in the city of Haikou, in the Southern Chinese province of Hainan. The order
includes 28 KONE MiniSpace(TM) elevators and three KONE MonoSpace® elevators.
The KONE MiniSpace elevators have a maximum load capacity of 1,600 kg and will
travel at a top speed of six meters per second. KONE will also supply its KONE
E-Link remote equipment monitoring system to the project.
In addition to a 45-story main building that rises to a height of nearly 200
meters, the project includes an 80-meter, 17-story annex building and a lower
podium. The commercial office building, which will also include shops and
restaurants, is expected to be completed by the end of 2013 and will formally be
opened to the public by the end of 2014.
"We are happy that our People Flow® solutions were chosen to help people move
smoothly and without unnecessary delays in the Hainan Tower. Our traffic flow
analysis tools helped us work with the customer to come up with the best
solutions for this project," said William B. Johnson, Executive Vice President
for KONE in Greater China.
The project is contracted by Beijing Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd.
and the building architects are Zhongxu Planning & Architecture Design Co., Ltd.
KONE booked the order in the last quarter of 2012.
