Dunbar & Boardman are currently working with The Meadowhall Shopping Centre,
one of the UK's premier shopping centres, and its main contractor, Laing O' Rourke, to replace old and worn vertical transport equipment.
The current phases include the complete replacement of three circular glass
scenic lifts, four indoor escalators and eight semi outdoor escalators. The
photos show Dunbar & Boardman's Grenville Brookfield, third left, inspecting
one of the scenic lift cars at the Italian manufacturing facility with the
team comprising of Meadowhall Shopping Centre, Laing O' Rourke, Dunbar &
Boardman & Schindler.
In 2005, Dunbar & Boardman reviewed the vertical transport of the John Lewis
Oxford Street store which recommended installing escalators in the two
light wells. The Board seemed to be convinced as in 2006 works started and
both phases may be completed prior to Christmas.
