Green start to 2026 forecast for Hart
Working through Balfour Beatty, Hart Door Systems has supplied 16 industrial doors, ranging from Speedor Storms automatic, fabric, high speed 6M doors, steel hinged doors to an insulated shutter, for three buildings at the £ 24m Ware Waste Eastern Transfer Station, Hertfordshire, which is expected to be operational by January 2026 writes Chris Dobson.
“ The scheme is billed as a step forward into a greener future and we are delighted to be part of this significant project which demonstrates our broad range of industrial door products which includes 10 of our outstanding Speedor Storms,” says Hart’ s chairman, Doug Hart.
“ Time and again clients tell us Speedor Storm is chosen because of its, automatic fast open and close operation. This in turn helps with environmental control and energy use reduction, essential for any major green project. Other Speedor Storm benefits include tolerance to extreme conditions in the plant, robust construction, reliability in use, low maintenance and technologically advanced features which boost efficiency.”
Nick Hart, Hart’ s managing director, says the client wanted Hart’ s involvement on the project“ given Hart’ s quality of work on multiple sites across the UK”.
The Ware Waste Eastern Transfer Station is capable of dealing with 140,000 tonnes of waste a year covering a wide range including rigid plastics, metal, hardcore, rubble and garden waste.
Time and again clients tell us Speedor Storm is chosen because of its, automatic fast open and close operation.
Hart Door System’ s wind-resistant, high-speed, industrial rolling door, Speedor Storm, is ready for business be it a factory, warehouse, storage facility or any kind of plant operation that has one or more large external openings which must be opened frequently for people and traffic.
With wind resistance available up to‘ wind class 5’, as defined by DIN
EN 12424, in the closed position this high-speed door is ready for openings to a maximum 8 metres width or height subject to 48 square metres.
The ability to withstand substantial wind pressure means major entrances open / close automatically so avoiding a less than optimal working environment and the escape of heated air.
Speedor Storm is in particular demand from waste processing plants and renewable energy facilities such as Anaerobic Digestion( AD) plants that produce energy from waste. The ability to limit the escape of odour and noise and prevent pests entering is highly valued by such companies. Speedor Storms have also proved to be a great asset for ports, notably for grain tipping bays.
