Project Gallery
Our relationship began in 2012 when Mace Macro chose to partner with Sequs to help achieve our goal in commissioning and operating the UK’s first and only Urban Cable Car. Since then Sequs has played an integral part in securing key aims, namely an excellent safety record, ongoing reliable operation and effective systems monitoring. This has helped us deliver the Emirates Air Line as a safe, reliable and world class addition to London’s urban transport system. Sequs continues to help us strengthen our focus on operational safety and supports the ongoing implementation of our Integrated Management System. Our most recent success, in collaboration with Sequs, was achieving ISO 55001 accreditation, a major milestone in the Emirates Airline project and a considerable achievement of which we are proud. We look forward to growing the already fantastic and collaborative relationship we have.
