The Shard

OVERVIEW

Installation innovation “One of the biggest logistical challenges during any construction project is getting building workers, materials and goods to the right place at the right time – with maximum safety and efficiency”, says Michael Williams, Managing Director of KONE Great Britain. The Shard project was no different. KONE utilised its state of the art Jump Lift™ solution. The KONE JumpLift is an advanced, self-climbing elevator that can be used as an alternative to traditional exterior hoists during the construction process. This was the first time that KONE JumpLift technology had been used in Great Britain.
