Description
In the last decades the vast majority of the world of escalator steps production has been migrating to die casting. TfL's present die-cast step fleet is at 43%. The introduction of die-cast steps has been primarily through our main escalator contractors during escalator replacement or refurbishment works. TfL are looking to accelerate the percentage of the step fleet which is die-cast by proactively replacing fabricated steps on our internally maintained legacy fleet with interchangeable die-cast steps. The MH-B step is deemed to be the most appropriate candidate to begin the conversion: today more than 18,000 MH-B steps are installed in MH-B, MY-A, and MH-A Otis escalators. Their replacement is intended to contribute by 21% to the whole fleet conversion. The scope of the contract is summarised below: 1. Desktop study a. Design of Escalator Steps to meet specification b.

Die Cast Moulding a. Mould Design b. Manufacture of mould c. Prototype testing and quality assurance against BS EN 11…
