Draka designed custom wireway and accessories for the 70 plus elevators of the One World Trade Center. In particular, the company provided various types of copper and fibre optic hoistway cables, as well as special wireway conduit and junction boxes. All the parts were manufactured locally at the Rocky Mount factory in North Carolina.

The cables we produced provide power and connectivity: from the buttons in the elevator to the closed-circuit televisions, to the lighting and air-conditioning systems.

In order to satisfy the specific needs of the project, Draka used a variety of standard and split-wireway components, which have all been manufactured to specific designs. We also supplied a variety of electrical and mechanical hardware components, including tubes, wire and stairs.

To make the supply of the materials more efficient, Draka implemented its Extended Factory Model (EFM) program, which foresees the storage of the various components in a Distribution center, which promptly supplies the parts to the client’s building site as and when needed.
