has focused on the development of a suitable solution without creating a fortress environment. The result is a new high performance solution for public entrances that require a blast-resistant, secure, bi-parting automatic door system that will withstand the blast overpressures associated with a vehicle bomb. This is particularly suitable for high risk areas and buildings, such as railway stations, airports and other transport hubs. It is capable of withstanding the effect of 100kg TNT explosions as close as 25m.
Dramatic testing
A new website, www.bombblastdoors.co.uk, showcases dramatic video footage of the bomb blast test. This includes information about the range as well as a link for ordering a new comprehensive guide to blast protection automatic doors. The aim of the tests was to prove that people can be protected from the effects of an explosion, such as high-velocity shards of glass, and to ensure that after an explosion, door security is not unduly compromised and integrity is maintained. The range met or exceeded the GSA (C) and ISO EXV 45 and ISO EXV 25 standards. Chosen for their ability to provide effective bomb blast protection to the public and buildings, the new bomb rated auto doors are currently being installed at one of the UK’s busiest airport terminals. |
