Never so fast
The Burj Khalifa’s 57 lifts, produced by world leader Otis Elevator Company, are unlike those in any other skyscraper. Twenty-four of these are machineroom-less elevators (MRL) Gen2 ™, characterised by a refined interior design and cutting edge technology. Two are double-deck observatory elevators, capable of accommodating 21 people on each deck. But most importantly, all the Tower’s elevators go up and down the tower’s 162 floors at record speed: 10m/sec. Prysmian participated in the early stages of the elevator systems electrical wiring planning. Custom elevator traveling and hoistway cables were developed to meet the specific needs of the project. For example, copper/fibre hybrid elevator traveling cables were developed to combine a unique component mix of optical fibre swith multiple shielded communications pairs and power conductors.
“Driving innovation and raising safety standards: this is our constant commitment in helping to build a sustainable future and always supporting ingenuity and vision.”
