Automatic Swing Door Operator Replacement – University of Greenwich

We provide for compliance servicing of all types of commercial doors including automatic as seen here at The University of Greenwich. During a routine service as per our schedule which includes inspecting and testing, we found that there were two failures.

A quotation was submitted for replacement operators due to major fault with on door safety sensors and non-compliant replacement as non-monitored processor on an obsolete operator.

The customer accepted and we arranged the installation to be carried out at the most convenient time when the building was closed. We always carry out a risk assessment and deploy our yellow safety barriers to designate a safe working area.

For the new installation we used the Dorma ED100 operator with BEA 4Safe on door safety sensors which monitor the sweep area of the door. If a sensor detects a person or object will stop at a safe distance eliminating any risk of impact or crushing.

Following setting up, commissioning and testing we handed over all documentation. It is also important to train the staff on safe use of the door system and what to do in case of an emergency.

The complete system was tested with the relevant interfaces, then demonstrated with the O&M Manual handed to the Estates Manager.
