Prysmian Group, through its Draka Elevator brand, has been
selected for the major project to rebuild the World Trade
Center in New York City. The Group will supply high-tech cables
and accessories for the construction of the elevators.
The various contracts entail supplying a wide range of cables
and related accessories for installation in more than 100
elevators in the complex’s four buildings, which will reach
a height of over 634 metres. The cables are being used to
provide power for elevator buttons, communications and
emergency safety devices and more. Some of the cables
include fibre optic sub-units, being used for high-speed
communications throughout the World Trade Center complex.
Prysmian Group has also provided its Extended Factory Model
(EFM) programme as a value-added service, which involves
the storage of a range of components and materials at a
distribution centre capable of making just-in-time delivery to
the customer, for incorporation into the relevant equipment
and subsequent shipment to the building site.
The high profile of this project confirms the Group’s leadership
in offering an extensive range of quality elevator products,
manufactured worldwide and supported by the necessary
expertise to ensure optimal elevator operation.
