Escalator Services

We have the expertise and equipment to keep the Tube system moving

With 150,000 passengers entering the Tube system every hour, getting them down to the platforms safely is a big responsibility. We specialise in three areas:  

 

Servicing

Responsible for servicing and maintaining more than 100 escalator units, we combine the latest engineering innovations with product knowledge that encompasses decades-old equipment. So, whether you need cutting-edge technology for measuring escalator wear and tear or engineers with a direct line into original equipment manufacturers, we have the answer.

 

Refurbishment

Slashing escalator refurbishment times from the traditional 26 weeks to a vastly improved 12 weeks earned us a top award from the Institution of Engineering and Technology. More innovations are in the pipelines.

 

Logistics

We manage a supply chain that's capable of transporting people and materials to the most hard to reach parts of the Tube network. Moreover, we have the expertise to ensure delicate equipment is handled correctly and safely.

 

"We don't just sell a contractor service, we combine our skills to manage a job from start to finish," says Tom Flood, Manager of Escalator Services. "This includes integrating new equipment into old systems, moving heavy equipment without causing unseen damage and scoping out exactly what needs to be done." 

 

Did you know?

• We fit escalators to an accuracy that is within half a millimetre for every 50 metres. This is better than the accuracy achieved with lasers

• Using our smart step device in conjunction with a new engineering facility, we've modified the design of the LHDM type escalator step, doubling its life to 10 years

• We manage our own fire system isolations and hoarding work, and run our own temporary power supplies so you don't have to
