Otis Wins Land Transport Authority Excellence Award for Thomson-East Coast Mass Rapid Transit Line

Otis has received the Safety Excellence Award from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) Singapore for its safety management processes and best practices on stages 1-3 of the Thomson-East Coast (TEL) Mass Rapid Transit Line. The biennial award from LTA showcases the best industry practices in Singapore’s land transport system. Otis received the award in the Electrical & Mechanical Contractor (Major & Minor) category.

“We are honored to support LTA in the TEL project, which will bring residents in the east and along the North-South Corridor of Singapore closer to a train station and hence provide faster access to the city,” said Grant Mooney, Managing Director of Otis Southeast Asia & Singapore. “This award is a testament to Otis’ comprehensive safety management processes and the priority that we place on the safety of our colleagues and in our products to ensure a seamless ride for all passengers.”

The LTA award recognizes Otis’ innovation in implementing online quizzes as part of its safety training for colleagues to engage and interact on the important value.

Otis supplied and installed 419 escalators, 169 Gen2^® lifts and 8 passenger conveyors for the TEL, Singapore’s sixth Mass Rapid Transit line, to help parents with strollers, elderly passengers and persons with disabilities move safely between different levels of the underground stations.

Otis escalators and passenger conveyors are designed for the demands of public spaces such as airports, metros and other busy transport hubs. Otis Gen2 lifts are energy efficient and reliable, with smooth ride quality, all made possible with its flat-belt technology and compact design.
