在和沙特阿拉伯NESMA集团的合作之下,迅达电梯将为阿卜杜阿齐兹国王路提供共计160台电梯和自动扶梯设备,该工程是波斯湾地区最大的市区发展工程项目之一。这些电梯设备将为人们提供便利,使之更快地来往于麦加最繁忙的几个地标之间,包括大清真寺。阿卜杜阿齐兹国王路工程被认为是圣地麦加的关口工程,这里通过公共汽车、地铁和高铁等公共交通使人们往返于可容纳十万人之多的中央步行大道。该工程计划在2021年年底完工。而这条长超过3.5公里,宽超过60米的大道将成为麦加的新入口,形成一条连接大清真寺和麦加西边的高铁终点站之间的游客通道。该高铁站还连接着吉达市和国王国际机场。
SCHINDLER TO PROVIDE 160 UNITS TO MECCA GATEWAY PROJECT
In partnership with NESMA of Saudi Arabia, Schindler will deliver and install 160 elevators and escalators to King Abdul Aziz Road (KAAR), one of the largest urban-development projects in the Persian Gulf. The units will help move people between some of the busiest landmarks in Mecca, including Al Haram Mosque (Great Mosque). KAAR, commonly referred to as the Mecca gateway project, will use bus, metro and high-speed train transportation to and from a central pedestrian boulevard that accommodates up to 100,000 people. It is scheduled for completion by the end of 2021. The more-than-3.5-km-long, up-to-60-m-wide boulevard will be the new entrance to the city, allowing passage of visitors between the Great Mosque and a high-speed rail terminal in the city's west that links Jeddah and the King Abdul Aziz International Airport.
