BESPOKE DOOR PACKAGE FOR BIRMINGHAM REBUILD
» DOOR GROUP , A UNIT OF ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions UK & Ireland , has supplied construction company VolkerFitzpatrick with a bespoke package of internal and external doors as part of a project to rebuild University Station in Birmingham .
The station serves the University of Birmingham , Birmingham Women ’ s Hospital , and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital as part of the Cross-City Line .
University Station is an open space that accommodates large numbers of the public , but also features several restricted areas for staff . In these instances , all doors must withstand high levels of traffic and allow for easy access and egress , while keeping staff safe in the event of an attack .
Working with the Associated Architects , the specification team at Door Group helped create an objective and accurate door hardware schedule for VolkerFitzpatrick , to prepare specification
briefs and design complete door-opening solutions .
The Safeguard doors specified provide LPS 1175 security standards to SR3 & SR4 classification . The certification tests the resistance to unauthorised access offered by physical security products .
The Safeguard range is designed to significantly reduce the ability of forced entry using both mechanical and powered tools , rigorously tested using heavy-duty mechanical and powered tools , with a fire rating of up to one-hour as standard .
Phil Wood MCIOB , Senior Project Manager at VolkerFitzpatrick , explains : “ ASSA ABLOY Door Group helped us on this project with their two-pronged approach , not only specifying a compliant solution but also fitting the doors .
“ When it comes to a building like University Station that has a high footfall , we needed a safe and secure solution for the public that could withstand heavy traffic .”
Karl Ravenscroft , Contracts Manager at Door Group , added : “ We were delighted to work with VolkerFitzpatrick on this project , delivering a compliant solution with certified fire and security ratings .
“ Our specification team worked closely with the architects to develop an initial blueprint for the client . From that , we were able to ascertain the best possible solution that fits the LPS 1175 standard .”
