G-Tech Starts Work on Control Room and Overheads at Flatiron

G-Tech Elevator Associates LLC tells ELEVATOR WORLD it began work on the control room and overheads at Manhattan’s Flatiron Building in August. The G-Tech team mobilized on-site at the landmark 22-story structure in April to tackle the bulk of the elevator work for its conversion into 60 residential units. G-Tech previously removed eight elevators as developer The Brodsky Organization completely gutted the inside of the building to construct a new core while preserving much of the structure. G-Tech’s scope of work consists of installing three new machine-room-less elevators and modernizing a sidewalk elevator. All units will have BTS Elevator Packages systems including Elsco roller guides, Hollister-Whitney governors and safeties, GAL door equipment, Imperial machines, Monitor fixtures and MCE controllers, G-Tech’s Brock Glenn said.
