Ingersoll
Rand Takes Off at Heathrow
Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies has supplied bomb blast resistant
doors and Martin Roberts steel doorsets throughout Heathrow Airport's
new Terminal 5. The building was designed by the Richard Rogers Partnership
at a cost of £4.3billion.
Due to tens of millions of passengers using the facility each year, it
was vital that this iconic building would be as accessible as possible.
It also had to be highly secure from the risk of terrorist attack and
other threats to public safety.
As a result, Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies was chosen to supply
a number of products to offer added security and protection. Dor-O-Matic
bomb-rated automatic doors were specified and installed on the main entrances
throughout the terminal building. The new bomb-rated doors are the perfect
solution for projects requiring a blast-resistant, secure, bi-parting
automatic door system. They are able to withstand the blast overpressures
associated with a vehicle bomb and provide protection from high velocity
shards of glass being projected into an occupied area.
Martin Roberts fire & acoustic steel doorsets and stainless steel
mesh gates were installed in customer interface areas, toilet blocks,
stairwells and the multi-storey car parks. Ideal for the transportation
sector due to demanding criteria set by high volumes of traffic and likely
abuse, the steel doorsets combine strength, durability and aesthetics
to provide innovative high performance door products.
This large specification pulled together the complementary products which
Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies has on offer to meet the diverse
and different requirements of such a complex scheme.
