Otis Elevators is the world’s leading company for elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service and was the clear choice for Billbergia at 88 Walker Street, North Sydney.

Otis supplied and installed four Gen2® Premier 5 Machine Room-Less (MRL) 2.5m/sec lifts servicing the hotel and six 6m/sec SkyRise® lifts to serve the Commercial section. SkyRise, our most advanced high-rise system, integrates industry-leading technology with space-saving design. The elevators also utilised the Otis Compass® destination control system to get passengers to their destinations faster. Two Otis Link™ Escalators take passengers from the ground floor to the Level 1 commercial lobby.

Working closely with Billbergia during the construction phase, Otis kept pace with the building structure, ensuring deliveries and installation targets were met at each stage using a modular installation methodology. With this modular system in place “we ensured every stage of this project was on track and went smoothly” said Charles Starr, Senior Installation Chargehand. This resulted in early handover of Builders’ lifts which was of a great benefit to Billbergia.

Builders’ elevators become the heartbeat of the building during construction, speeding up the entire building process by efficiently moving manpower and material around the site. After construction, each of the elevators feature fully customised interiors, finished luxuriously to the architect’s specifications. Otis also provides a large range of interiors available direct from the factory.

Otis’s role does not end when the building is complete.

“We are there for the life of the building,” said Roger Teofilovic, Project Manager. “After installation, we can maintain the elevators for the lifespan of the building. We see every project as the start to a potential long-term relationship with our customers.”

Otis moves 2 billion people a day and maintains approximately 2 million customer units worldwide – the industry’s largest Service portfolio.
