to their final location.
The tenderer shall submit with his tender full details of all the work necessary to enable
such a route to be established.
The whole of the equipment shall be in accordance with the latest edition of EN
115:2017. It shall also be in accordance with the requirements of this specification
where these requirements exceed those of the EN standard.
5.01 TRUSS
The escalator trusses shall be designed to accommodate the loadings and factors
referred to in the latest edition of EN 115. The trusses shall not deflect greater than
1:750 of the distance between supports under a live uniformly distributed passenger
loading of 5 kN/m² (load area = width of escalator step x distance between supports).
The truss shall be designed to accommodate the load without intermediate (center)
supports if the span is below 16,1 m.
The trusses shall be constructed of rolled steel sections, continuously welded where
appropriate, and treated with an approved rust inhibitor.
The trusses shall include all the frames, supports and reinforcements necessary for the
support and fastening of the mechanical parts of the escalators.

contractor.
The truss supports at each end shall be provided with isolation (anti-vibration) pads,
which dampen vibration and prevent structure-borne noise being transmitted to the
building structure.
5.02 ESCALATOR DRIVE
The drive unit is located outside the step band, at the upper end of the escalator. The
chain sprockets of the step band and the handrail driving wheels are driven via a duplex
chain by a compact gear with an electric motor, flange-mounted at the gearbox. The
main driving shaft supports the chain sprockets for the step band. The main driving
shaft supports the handrail driving shaft via handrail chain and handrail wheels. The
drive system assures that the handrails are moved synchronously with the step band.
The drive motor shall be continuously rated and of adequate size for the duty concerned
in both directions of travel.
The tenderer shall include details of the motor within the tender.
The tenderer shall include within the tender a list of protection provided, which shall
preferably be by means of temperature sensitive devices in the motor windings with a
magnetically operated overload device to cater for stall conditions. The motor shall be
provided with class F insulation and a minimum ingress protection class of IP21.
5.04 BRAKE
The escalator shall have a "fail-safe" operational braking system which shall be capable
of bringing an unloaded and loaded escalator to rest within the stopping distances given
in the latest edition of EN 115 and maintaining it in a stationary position. The action of
the brake shall be smooth so that the step band is brought to a standstill without
subjecting the passengers to sudden deceleration forces.
The brake shall be held off electrically and applied by spring pressure.
For escalators over 6 m vertical rise and/or which are subject to the "public service"
requirements of EN 115, an auxiliary brake shall be provided. This must be directly
coupled to the main drive shaft of the escalator.
Provision shall be made for the temporary release of the brake by means of a manually
operated release lever.
The escalator shall stop automatically in the event of the operation of any safety device
or electrical power failure.
Each escalator shall have the facility to lock the step band in position to enable work to
be carried out safely within the step band.

guidance to prevent skewing and shall be fitted with adjustable pressure springs to
ensure uniform tensioning of the step chains.
5.07 STEPS
The Aluminum Silver steps shall be of an interchangeable design of rigid high tensile die
cast aluminum, incorporating grooved tread plates and risers, and shall be capable of
being removed and replaced without removing the skirtings or inside balustrade. Multi-
piece step assemblies are not acceptable.
The step rollers shall have sealed ball bearings which are permanently grease
lubricated. The steps are of distortion-resistant design, made of high tensile, die-cast
aluminum. The tread plates have narrow grooves. Similar to the tread plate, the step
riser is grooved vertically. Each step is provided with two step rollers of 75 mm diameter
with encased, sealed-for-life ball bearings.
5.08 COMBS
Step combs shall be manufactured from aluminum and be easily replaceable. The
escalator must incorporate step guides of wear-resistant material to ensure precise
lateral entrance of the step into the comb.
Safety contacts shall be fitted to the comb plate, acting both vertically and horizontally, to
stop the escalator in the event of an object becoming entrapped between the steps and
the combs.
5.09 SKIRTINGS
Sheet steel with black anti-friction coating: Rigid sheet steel skirting panels, minimum
2mm, shall be provided adjacent to the steps. They shall be coated with a black long-
wearing friction reduction compound and adequately supported to prevent bending or
deflection. Flexible skirting panels with micro-switches shall not be accepted.
Brush guards shall be provided to protect the step/skirting gap. They shall follow the
nose line of the steps, running continuously throughout the length of the moving step
band and terminating 50 mm before the comb plates at both ends. At each end of the
brush guard there shall be a smooth tapered aluminum leading piece to ensure that
there are no sharp edges, which may be a hazard to passengers.
5.12 BALUSTRADES
Glass balustrade: The balustrades shall be of clear toughened glass of the impact
resistant type. Their minimum thickness shall be 10mm balustrade thickness and the
panels shall be self-supporting without the need for mullions. The panels shall be
