    Schindler delivers 150 lifts and escalators to Mecca

    Schindler has booked a major order from Saudi Arabia, according to a media release. This will see it supply a total of 150 lifts and escalators for the Masar urban development project in Mecca. The units will be used in the latest development phase of the project. Specifically, according to Schinder, this involves a mixed-use building with hotels, restaurants and shops. The total area of the building is 1.2 million square metres.

    Schindler’s lifts and escalators will be used to transport both people and goods. Among the 150 units are 44 Schindler 7000 lifts, which will be installed with Schindler’s R.I.S.E robotic installation system. This can be operated autonomously and can, for example, drill holes for anchor bolts and set them. It is now being used for the first time in Saudi Arabia.

    In light of the project, Schindler is also expanding its partnership with Umm Al Qura for Development & Construction, based in Jeddah.

  • Schindler elevators and technology at CapitaSpring in Singapore

    Schindler elevators and technology at CapitaSpring in Singapore

    Schindler elevators serve the 51 floors of the office and serviced apartment building in Singapore’s financial district. Thanks to facial recognition and turnstiles controlled by QR codes, you can move around the building without contact. The Schindler PORT transit management solution optimizes visitor flows and waiting times and thus also energy consumption. Autonomous cleaning robots are also connected to the building’s elevators and access systems.

    Designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group in collaboration with Carlo Ratti Associati, the CapitaSpring building is now part of the Singapore skyline. His “green oasis”, a garden 100 meters high, sets new standards for office design. The building has been awarded the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Platinum Award – one of the highest sustainability awards in Singapore.

    “This is an exciting project for us in Singapore, where the sustainability of existing and new buildings is becoming increasingly important,” said Robert Seakins, Schindler Executive Committee member responsible for Asia Pacific. “Schindler technology is instrumental in enabling people to move around this new landmark seamlessly, efficiently, and safely.
