Hitachi, Ltd. has established Hitachi Elevator Cambodia, Ltd., a joint venture with Siam-Hitachi Elevator Co., Ltd. and CMED Group Co., Ltd.

Hitachi Elevator Cambodia engineers will be trained at Hitachi's new Asia Training Center in Thailand.
EHC GLOBAL’S NT MOTIONRAIL IMPLEMENTED BY CTA
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) has implemented EHC Global’s NT MotionRailTM escalator handrail at its North/Clybourn Station, the first public-transit system in North America to use the product. The handrails feature permanent and vandalism-resistant motion indicators that provide a visual indication of the speed and direction of travel, enabling riders to take a more natural step onto the escalator. CTA joins the London Underground and Dubai Metro as the latest major public-transit system to implement NT MotionRail.
PIANO DESIGN FOR SAN FRANCISCO MIXED-USE TOWER
New York City-based Renzo Piano Building Workshop is behind the boxy-yet-airy design of a proposed 36-story, 385-ft.-tall tower containing more than 250 hotel rooms and approximately 70 residences in San Francisco's Transbay neighborhood, Architect's Newspaper reports. If built at 555 Howard Street, it will be the fourth-tallest building in San Francisco and take the place of low-rise, turn-of-the-20th century structures deemed historically insignificant. Clad in transparent glass, the rectangular building would have an outdoor terrace at the 21st floor and a triple-height ground-floor lobby with retail.
