Admiral Elevator, in conjunction with Kone Elevator, has been awarded the replacement of over 128 escalators with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.
The project is a part of WMATA’s commitment to replace escalators over 25 years old and develop a preventative maintenance program that will support the safety and life of WMATA’s most valuable assets.
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s Metrorail system, built in 1976, operates a the second largest rail-transit-system network in the U.S. The WMATA system transports more than a third of federal government to work, in addition to millions of tourists to national landmarks on its 106.3 mile rail network comprising of 86 stations, 588 escalators, and 238 elevators.
