EHC Global Announces NT SafeRail™ Escalator Handrail Installation at Network Rail’s London Bridge Station in the United Kingdom

July 21, 2020 (Oshawa, Canada) ─ EHC Global (EHC) is proud to announce the recent installation of NT SafeRail escalator handrail at Network Rail’s London Bridge station in the United Kingdom (UK). Network Rail’s iconic London Bridge is the oldest rail terminus in London and the fourth busiest station in the UK, bringing over 55 million passengers into the city each year. These handrails feature permanent safety graphics on the surface that remind passengers to hold the handrail to reduce the risk of personal injury.

NT SafeRail is part of the Safety+ integrated suite of products and services specifically designed to mitigate risk, meet safety code requirements (e.g., EN115, ASME A17.1, CSA B44, etc.), and promote safe and responsible use of escalators and moving walks. Other Safety+ solutions include LED UV-C Handrail Sterilization, SafeGuard Signage and Deck Barricades, Safety Brushes, Automated Messaging System, the Virtual Assistant, and Service Barricades.

Developed by EHC, the patented NT handrail platform features an easy-to-maintain, high-gloss finish and is an environmentally friendly and technologically advanced alternative to conventional rubber handrails. The NT suite of value-added solutions, collectively referred to as “NT+”, has been engineered to provide enhanced safety, wayfinding, aesthetics, brand activation, physical distancing, and reliability to building owners and property managers. Available in a wide range of profiles, NT handrail is recyclable and is available in standard and custom colours.

Award Winning Project – St. Petersburg Metro

EHC Global is pleased to congratulate Constructor Ltd for winning the Elevator World Project of the Year 2010 in the category of Escalators, New Construction.

The award winning project was carried out at the St. Petersburg Metro (State Unitary Enterprise) Spasskaya station. The project involved having the escalators’ sizes reduced without compromising the requirements of the Regulations for the Construction and Safe Use of Escalators. Constructor had the difficult task of fitting the 4 escalators into a tunnel space that would normally accommodate only 3 traditional escalators.

The escalator handrails for this project were manufactured by EHC.

Praising the project, Norman Rosnerksy, Managing Director of EHC’s EMEA operations said, “We are extremely happy to make a contribution to the project. EHC has been manufacturing escalator handrails since 1977, but only in the last few years have we supplied the Russian market. Constructor was one of our very first customers in Russia and we certainly expect to see them win more awards in the future as they are truly innovative in the services they offer.”
