An airport serving more than 22 million passengers per year—including 1 million traveling to nine foreign countries—is one of the busiest single-runway airports in the world. In that high-volume environment, efficient vertical transportation is the key to customer satisfaction. Elevators and escalators there must be reliable, dependable and deliver maximum uptime.
The Challenge: Gaining EfficienciesWith a major redevelopment project planned, airport leaders identified the need for efficiencies and standardizations as the key to optimized uptime. To achieve that goal, they placed priority on Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), project management expertise, equipment compatibility and the value of a trusted partner for maintenance and modernization projects.
The Solution: Value in Procurement
The Results: Savings and Efficiencies
KONE also improved operational effectiveness. The KONE Major Projects team, supported by local branch operations, ensured that design, engineering, and delivery were being managed to meet the customer’s expectations. Use of the cooperative contract’s comprehensive contract package accelerated the project start date, delivering rapid improvement on customer experiences with vertical transportation operations. This airport’s relationship with KONE allowed customization of local needs. Because most of the airport’s elevators and escalators were manufactured by KONE, retaining the OEM as a trusted partner benefitted both the facilities team and travelers.
