Design, Manufacture, and Installation of The Great Glass Lift, Lift 109 at Battersea Power Station

Abstract

This paper describes the unique engineering challenge posed by putting a panoramic lift into a chimney of the redeveloped Battersea Power Station. The engineering solution is discussed with a particular focus on how passengers would be rescued from the lift and how the conformity assessment of the whole system is in accordance with relevant new equipment regulations. This paper will describe how the following challenges were met.
