Work on the lift installations for the Aviva Stadium commenced in early January 2009 and work has been ongoing since. The installations were scheduled sequentially with lift No. 1 to Lift No.6 being the first lifts to be installed. These lifts are now at pre-commissioning stage, final commissioning is due to take place early January. Work has also been progressing on the remaining lifts, most of these lifts have now reached practical completion stage with commissioning schedule to commence in January also. We are aiming to have all lifts fully commissioned by the end of February 2010
There are three escalators on the project, two located internally and one located externally (west of railway). The installation of all three has been scheduled in two phases. Escalator No.1 and No.2 are substantially complete with the remaining works to be completed at the end of January. Escalator 3 had to be installed during a rail closure as it was located on the west side of the stadium and located close to the rail line. These works were carried out over the weekend of 26th September and the installation is now at practical completion stage. Again, commissioning is to be completed January/February 2010
