Summary
Thyssenkrupp Elevator Corporation will provide construction services in support of the Phoenix City Hall Elevator Modernization project at Phoenix City Hall. The work includes, but is not limited to, a full and complete modernization of 11 gearless overhead traction passenger elevators in service since 1993. This modernization calls for the replacement of all control, dispatch, landing and power conversion systems, motor drives, governor, hoist machines, selectors, hoist ropes, governor rope, sheaves, guide assemblies, wiring, hoistway door closers and interlocks, car door operators, car door protective devices, car operating panels, position indicators, interior emergency lighting, hands free emergency communication device, hall call buttons and hall direction lanterns, and other associated work required to complete this project. To maintain building occupant access to elevator services, the modernization will be phased and limited to two elevator cars at the same time (one low-rise and one high-rise).
