[MIP] 6x Fujitec Office High Zone Elevators @ One Raffles Place Tower 1, Downtown Core, Singapore

MIP = Modernization in Progress One Raffles Place consists of two blade-shaped skyscrapers in the financial district of Singapore, commanding a presence in the city’s skyline due to their distinct forms. The 62-floor Tower 1, completed in 1986, is a slim modernist structure consisting of two triangular structures joined along their hypotenuses, and was the work of the late architect, Kenzo Tange. Formally called OUB Centre, this tower was the tallest building in Singapore upon completion, with a height of 280 meters―the maximum height normally allowed under the city’s building codes. While two other buildings of the same height (Republic Plaza and UOB Plaza One) came along in the 1990s, this record was not broken until Guoco Tower was completed in 2016. The 38-floor Tower 2 opened in 2012, with a design inspired from that of Tower 1 but with a postmodern glass-and-steel facade. The first five floors as well as the concourse of Tower 1 was home to a shopping mall, while a commercial gym with a roof deck was on a part of level 5 as well as levels 6 and 7. Offices occupied 8th to 60th floors, with the exception of four double-height mechanical spaces on levels 9, 22, 35, and 48. The top three levels were occupied by a rooftop bar called 1-Altitude, which was open at the time of visit but closed for good in March 2022. Below the concourse were three levels of parking and mechanical rooms. A total of 29 elevators had been installed in Tower 1: two scenic express elevators to the rooftop bar, 18 office passenger elevators, one office service elevator, two retail passenger elevators, two retail service elevators, one elevator within the banking space at the base of the building, two elevators serving the parking garage, and one more recently-installed elevator serving the rooftop bar space, all supplied by Fujitec. Among the office passenger elevators in Tower 1, four served levels 4-21 as well as the parking garage, six served levels 23-39, another six served levels 39-60, and the remaining two served as an internal shuttle between levels 49 and 60 only. All office passenger elevators except the two internal shuttles served level 21 to allow transfers between each other. This video features the bank of six elevators serving the uppermost office levels from the lobby. At the time of visit, they were being modernized as part of an ongoing elevator upgrading project throughout the building; among those in the high-rise bank, three had already been completely replaced, two were undergoing modernization, and only one remained original. Originally they were Fujitec’s DC gearless models with early microprocessor controllers that accelerated rather forcefully (given the high torque of DC motors) and had “classic leveling,” in which the doors began opening before the car came to a complete stop. While some screeching noises could be heard due to wearing out of the guide rails, the original car ran very smoothly, and was difficult to believe that it was more than 30 years old from the ride quality alone. (Indeed, a well-built DC gearless traction machine can optimally last for about 100 years.) It had square plastic buttons and blinking segment displays both inside the cab and outside the bottom landing, while the cab interior was of etched stainless steel with granite and marble flooring. It had a white ceiling lights, which was reminiscent of a hospital. The replaced cars were of Fujitec’s newest high-speed model. Their PM gearless machines produced a much more gradual acceleration compared to the older one, though the ride was a little bit shaky. As Fujitec had opted for a stepwise approach to modernization, in which a newer controller is put in place prior to replacement of the machinery and cabs, all cars including the original one were running under EZ-Shuttle, Fujitec’s destination dispatch system. In the original car, the floor buttons functioned as destination indicators, and destination registering inside the cab had been disabled. The new elevators did not have any buttons at all except for the door control and alarm buttons, which were of the HDB standard variety by Dewhurst; destinations were displayed on the door jamb instead. They had brass-colored stainless steel cabs with a much warmer lighting scheme, while an LCD display took the place of the floor indicator. For some reason, the current floor instead of "–" or "––" typical of Fujitec was displayed in the express zone. The destination dispatch system was integrated with turnstiles on floor 1, with a call automatically registered for the floor coded in the access card.
