KONE to modernize and maintain escalators at Stockholm metro in Sweden
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
KONE Corporation, press release, September 2, 20162
KONE, a global leader in the elevator and escalator industry, has won an order
from Stockholm County Council to modernize and maintain 13 escalators at six
metro stations in Sweden's capital.
KONE was awarded a contract in a public tender process for the supply of half of
the new escalators that will be installed at Stockholm's metro stations. KONE
TransitMaster® escalators will replace old equipment at the Hötorget,
Rådmansgatan, Odenplan, St Eriksplan, Farsta and Hallonbergen stations.
The new KONE escalators feature significantly improved operational green
credentials bringing reductions in energy consumption and the use of oil. The
escalators will also be linked to a real-time remote monitoring system, making
it possible to quickly identify any deviations in the operation of the equipment
and to take proactive measures to prevent possible technical problems.
"We have already installed several escalators and elevators in Stockholm's metro
system and we are naturally very proud that the Stockholm County Council has
chosen to partner with us again. In today's urban environments, providing
smooth, safe and accessible People Flow® solutions in public places is of utmost
importance, and is what we constantly strive to deliver and improve," says
Thomas Hinnerskov, Executive Vice President, KONE Central and North Europe.
The installation work of the KONE escalators is expected to begin in April 2017
with completion scheduled for mid-2018.
The order was booked in the third quarter of 2016.
