Project Outline
Dublin Airport is now Europe's 8th largest airport for international traffic, handling approximately 32 million passengers per year. Between 2006 and 2010 the DAA (Dublin Airport Authority) will have invested more than €1.2bn, in order to address congestion issues that had arisen due to strong traffic growth. Terminal 2 has been the final phase of redevelopment and is fully operational from this present month, November 2010.
Powershield doors had already been installed on the redevelopment scheme at Pier D in 2007, and subsequently on Terminal 1.
Scope of Works
Over 750 high performance steel doors were fitted throughout the terminal.
These comprised a variety of internal 60-minute Powershield Fire steel doors, as well as Powershield Security steel doors fitted with high security locks and cylinders specified for the detention rooms.
The Works
This was a large and complex project with high specification finishes. The project involved a six-month R & D programme to develop and test the highly specialised steel door solution requested by the architect, resulting in a finished product with one of the most detailed specifications ever manufactured by ASSA ABLOY Security Doors.
The ASSA ABLOY Security Doors team worked closely with Pascal and Watson and Main Contractor PJ Hegarty to complete design details, tailor each door to exact tolerances through on-site measurement before production, and to deliver and install high quality doors within a complex and high finish surrounding structure.
ASSA ABLOY Security Doors supplied the ironmongery for every door on the project, both steel and timber, with all components sourced internally from within the ASSA ABLOY Group.
For improved aesthetics, a unique Formica laminate and full-height stainless steel wrap pushplates were applied to approximately 50% of the steel doors to create a bespoke solution, tailored to the airport's requirements.
