在和沙特阿拉伯NESMA集團的合作之下,迅達電梯將為阿卜杜阿齊茲國王路提供共計160臺電梯和自動扶梯設備,該工程是波斯灣地區最大的市區發展工程項目之一。這些電梯設備將為人們提供便利,使之更快地來往于麥加最繁忙的幾個地標之間,包括大清真寺。阿卜杜阿齊茲國王路工程被認為是圣地麥加的關口工程,這里通過公共汽車、地鐵和高鐵等公共交通使人們往返于可容納十萬人之多的中央步行大道。該工程計劃在2021年年底完工。而這條長超過3.5公里,寬超過60米的大道將成為麥加的新入口,形成一條連接大清真寺和麥加西邊的高鐵終點站之間的游客通道。該高鐵站還連接著吉達市和國王國際機場。
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.
