May 16, 2007—KONE has secured an order to modernize 33 escalators and autowalks at the McCarran International Airport (MIA) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The order is the single largest modernization project awarded to KONE in both the monetary value and the amount of equipment ordered, says the company. The installation of KONE units will begin in May 2007 and is scheduled for completion during the fourth quarter of 2009. The value of the order is estimated at approximately EUR 15 million.
The order covers 21 escalators and 12 autowalks, which will be replaced by state-of-the-art KONE modernization solutions. The installed solutions are complete escalator modernization packages, which offer an innovative and systematic way to entirely replace the inner workings of escalators with brand new technology.
