Technological And Aesthetic Renewal For A Salvador Icon

Otis Brazil, part of Otis Worldwide Corporation, a global leader in elevator manufacturing and maintenance, has been chosen for the modernization of the four elevators of Elevador Lacerda, a historic landmark in Salvador, Bahia. This renewal, coinciding with the 150th anniversary of the monument, promises to bring technological advancements and aesthetic improvements, providing a more comfortable experience for tourists and local residents.

A Modern And Comfortable Ride

The modernization will involve the installation of Otis Prima automatic doors, LED lighting, and an air conditioning system in all cabins, raising the standard of comfort and aesthetics. Additionally, the cabins will be equipped with granite flooring, brushed stainless steel ceilings, an intercom system for communication with passengers, and new coverings for the side and back panels. The internal and floor push buttons of the Otis Jade Basic model will receive a new look with digital position and direction indicators.

Otis And Elevador Lacerda: A Historic Partnership

Otis’s relationship with Elevador Lacerda dates back to 1930 when the company installed the elevators in the monument’s second tower. Since then, Otis has been responsible for maintaining the equipment, ensuring the safe movement of passengers. Álvaro Netto, General Director of Otis in Brazil, highlights the company’s honor in modernizing the elevators of this important national monument, ensuring its efficient operation for many decades to come.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

End of solar stakes installed on the arm: autonomous machine with 40,000 pounds of impact lifts, distributes, drives, and records everything by itself in the construction of solar plants.

Goodbye hand-painted walls: autonomous AI robot paints, sands, and finishes high ceilings without marking, without BIM, without Wi-Fi, and covers over 92,000 square meters in Europe.

Metallic bolted chalet is assembled like a giant Lego in just two days, using numbered pieces, factory cuts, hard bolts on concrete, and a metal frame without welding, no on-site cutting, and a design intended for Airbnb and short-term rentals.

With the R$ 102 from his first salary at a car wash, a teenager from Maranhão bought food for his mother and siblings, and the gesture went viral so much that he ended up receiving a bicycle and a job at an aeronautical aesthetics company.

Helicopters were mobilized to drop tons of hay on farms overtaken by snow in the USA to save 2,500 trapped cattle, while calves were being born in the cold and pastures disappeared under the blizzard.
