New York, New York
The World Financial Center, New York's largest urban development
project to date, is located in front of the World Trade Center,
on reclaimed land, off the lower-west-side of Manhattan Island.
Comprised of
four towers and other office and retail buildings, the project has
brought much needed space to this congested area.
Fujitec has
installed 80 elevators, including gearless elevators with speeds
of up to 1,200 ft./min (360 mpm), and 14 escalators, which together
efficiently serve buildings B and D. Plus, a highly sophisticated,
visual communications system (ELVIC) has been installed to provide
real-time monitoring of elevator operation and status.
