Replacement of the escalators at Pau airport in Southwest France

Last January, our agency Cometra Groupe Bovis replaced the escalators at Pau airport.

The Bovis Group is the preferred partner of the largest groups of elevator operators for the handling and installation of escalators. Our know-how and experience make the BOVIS Group a major player in the replacement or installation of escalators or moving walks...

Escalators are indeed one of the Bovis Group's centres of excellence, so this type of operation is perfectly mastered by our teams of specialised handlers.

The specificities of escalator handling

Handling escalators requires special expertise and a methodical approach to ensure the safe and efficient movement of these often large items. Each step of this process requires precise coordination and advanced technical skills.

During disassembly, every component of the escalator is carefully inspected and disconnected. Material handling teams must be aware of the mechanical complexity of these structures to avoid potential damage during the moving process. The safety of both workers and facilities remains a constant priority for the BOVIS Group's teams.

The transport of dismantled parts requires meticulous logistics. Specialized equipment, such as adapted forklifts, is often used to ensure the safe transport of escalator elements to their new destination.

Once on site, the reassembly phase begins. Our skilled technicians work to put each component back in place accurately, ensuring that safety standards and manufacturer specifications are met. Mechanical and electrical adjustment requires extensive expertise to ensure that the staircase functions properly once it is back in service.

In summary, escalator handling is a complex process that requires careful planning, specialized technical skills, and a commitment to safety standards. Professionals in the field are essential to carry out these operations efficiently, minimizing potential risks and ensuring the smooth movement and reinstallation of this critical equipment.

For this service to replace the two escalators in Pau, our teams at Bovis Cometra Bordeaux benefited from the help of a self-propelled crane for the installation and handling of the two devices.
