A total of 287 TK Elevator (TKE) vertical-transportation (VT) units, including at the mixed-use Shougang Park, are supporting the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, the OEM announced on February 14. At Shougang Park, part of which is a repurposed former steel plant, scenic, glass-enclosed elevators serve both the 73-m-tall visitor lookout situated at the top of the No. 3 blast furnace and the low-rise referee tower at the Shougang Big Air sports stadium. In addition to Shougang Park, where athletes’ residences, training camps and hotels are situated, TKE elevators and escalators were installed at Capital Stadium Speed Skating Venue and the Olympic Village. Jürgen Böhler, CEO of TKE Asia Pacific, describes the Shougang Park project as a testimonial to the OEM’s innovation and technical expertise. Bohler said the fact that most facilities in the park were former industrial buildings posed great spatial and structural challenges that were successfully addressed by TKE.
