| Transparent high-speed turbo doors for employees  In the new paint shop of Putzmeister Concrete Pumps GmbH, transparent high-speed doors provide optimum working conditions. It looks modern and has an interesting architecture, the façade of the new paint shop of Putzmeister in Aichtal. It is dominated by 17 transparent high-speed turbo doors of the door specialist Efaflex from Bruckberg. The employees work in the hall as if they were outside, but protected from wind and weather. "People are used to work in sun light and cannot live without the close relation to their environment", says Georg Metzner. He is responsible for purchasing building work, plants and machinery for Putzmeister in Aichtal. 16 of the 17 high-speed doors are identical. Apart from the three lower laths, all doors are made up of 225 mm wide, clear laths of acrylic glass. "Thus, our employees are always able to see whether the sun is shining outside or whether it is raining."The doors look elegant and are nevertheless burglar-proof and stable. They convey the works a constant and uniform look. Switching to one single door manufacturer step-by-step also brings another important aspect for the responsible persons. They only have one single contact partner when it comes to maintenance and repair and this contact partner knows the works very well. A worldwide service agreement with Efaflex guarantees that ever door is ready for operation again within 48 hours. However: There have not been any major damages anymore since we have installed the new doors, says Georg Metzner. "Efaflex doors are simply so fast that they are never in the way." write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
