Alimak Hek awarded big contract in Atlanta
The Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel in downtown Atlanta was damaged by a tornado a year and a half ago and had 81 windows blown out. The owner of the building contracted Skanska for the repair and renovation project, with Harmon Glass as the glazing contractor, who in turn contracted Alimak Hek for access solutions at the site.
Harmon Glass are replacing all of the windows, with more than 5,000 pieces of glass. The existing windows are only ¼" thick (6.35 mm) (single pane) and no longer meet code. The replacement windows are 1/2" (12.7 mm) insulated glass.

Historically, thermal utility power plants have incorporated a traditional wire rope (traction) elevator in the boiler house.Recently, power plant operators have found it useful to add an additional high capacity industrial elevator to supplement these aging traction units. Investment paybacks can be very short just in the quicker movement of personnel, tools and materials during major plant outages.
