Bolton Gate Thermafold Doors protect the Fire Station at Hong Kong Disneyland
When the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort was planned, the project included a 7-bay fire / ambulance station which featured a garden style theme to enable the buildings to harmonise with the green surrounding and the nearby Theme Park.
Bolton Gate were specified to provide fourteen electric folding doors which included a special green powder coating, Lexan vision panels and faux louvres to each door.
In addition, the doors had to be designed to resist typhoon loadings of up to 3Kpa, were manufactured in Bolton and shipped to Hong Kong where they were installed by the local agent Deacon.
Context
When the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort was planned, the project included a 7-bay fire/ambulance station. Unlike previous appliance bay designs, a garden-style theme was used to enable the buildings to harmonise with the green surrounding and the nearby theme park.
Work undertaken
14 electric folding doors were required, and Bolton Gate was consulted to assist with the design, which included 64 Lexan vision panels and 8 faux louvres to each door; a special Forest Green powder coating was applied to the metalwork.
In addition, the doors had to be designed to resist typhoon loadings of up to 3Kpa which required solenoid shootbolt to engage at the base to maintain the door leaves in the bottom track.
The doors were manufactured in Bolton and shipped to Hong Kong where they were installed by local agent Deacon, with whom Bolton Gate had worked since the 1960s
