Brief

The private hospital required hygienic doors and glass door solutions across its operating theatres and ICU wards.

 

Solution

Dortek supplied hermetically sealing sliding glass doors across the ICU and hygienic GRP doors throughout the operating theatres. The hygienic GRP doors are specifically constructed for high hygiene areas and are completely free from timber or other organic materials which can harbour bacteria. Dortek GRP doors also have excellent resistance to most disinfectants, solvents and other strong chemicals including hydrogen peroxide.

Brief

The £1.3 million theatre suite refurbishment provided a modernised innovative design needed to support safety, infection prevention and ensure the highest standards of healthcare for patients and colleagues.

Solution

Dortek designed, supplied and installed 28 automatic hygienic GRP doors with touchless activation and privacy vision panels across the three operating theatres. Dortek doors are constructed from GRP which is designed for hygiene critical areas. Dortek GRP doors (glass reinforced polyester) have a smooth and seamless construction with no ledges, recesses or right angles where dust or bacteria can be trapped and grow. GRP is very easy to keep clean and completely resistant to water, disinfectants and cleaning chemicals used in hospitals.

Brief

The hospital required new hermetic glass doors for its new Rock Wing to help reduce airborne infections and meet energy efficiency design targets.

Solution

Dortek supplied hermetic sealing sliding glass doors with fixed glazed side panels. The hermetic doors met the energy efficient design requirements of the hospital by helping to reduce air handling costs. They also helped to maximise light and space across the ward and to provide easy and safe access for staff and patients. We also supplied specialist internal windows which were lead lined with integrated venetian blinds for privacy. Some of the windows were fire rated with lead lining and integrated blinds with activation on both sides.

The new manufacturing facility at Boxmeer will include production capacity for sterile filling and freeze drying of vaccines and will provide MSD Animal Health with additional manufacturing resources to meet the growing customer demand.

Solution

The project was delivered on a phased basis and utilised modular build and off-site construction to achieve programme timelines and minimise operational and neighbourhood impacts. Dortek doors were installed and integrated into panel wall systems within the modular Pods. After these pods got to site, the Dortek doors were then commissioned. This involved multi site co-ordination and Dortek were able to give technical assistance from early design stage for ease of door integration. Dortek were able to provide customized frame systems that covered width between the joining of the modular pods.

The doors also had to meet rigorous site cleaning requirements for chemical cleaning, air pressure regimes, fire certification and access control.

The provision of a cGMP Commercial Production Biologics Facility will be built on UCB’s existing site. The facility will be a multi-product manufacturing facility for the production of Mab-type bulk Drug substances under cGMP conditions with high operational efficiency.

Solution

Dortek supplied fire rated hinged doors to Ei1 60 to Belgian fire standards. We also supplied hermetic sealing sliding doors with automations. Doors were integrated into the concrete and plasterboard fire rated walls. We installed doors in the facilities cleanroom areas which are used for preparation, production, purification, formulation and dispensing.

Dortek GRP doors were pretested for the specific cleaning chemicals used at the facility to ensure that they would remain unaffected. We tested our doors for Surfanios Premium & Incidin Pro – UN1903 Disinfectant Liquid cleaner manufactured by ECOLAB. These are used in monthly cleaning regimes. H2O2 (6%) which Dortek doors are also resistant too is then used in the cleaning regimes at least twice a year.

Profarma required replacement fire doors for their 60mm cleanroom panel. The doors needed to be well suited to hygienic environments and meet GMP guidelines.

Solution

Profarma possess high production potential by ensuring the quality of the final product in accordance with rules laid down by GMP. Our seamless doors are ultra hygienic, void free and easy to clean which makes them ideally suited to cleanroom areas.

Brief

The facility required GMP compliant doors as it operates under cGMP and is regularly inspected by the Swedish Medical Products Agency, US FDA and other health authorities.

 

Solution

Dortek designed, manufactured and installed GRP doors to the life science facility from our factory in Ystad, Sweden. Dortek GRP doors have a smooth, sealed, non absorbent surface which is easy to clean. It is also excellent resistance to most disinfectants, solvents and strong chemicals, including H2O2.

Brief

The client required hygienic door solutions for its new cell therapy manufacturing plant.

Solution

Dortek doors are designed to meet CGMP requirements and have a seamless gel coat finish which is non absorbent and easy to clean. These doors are high performance and low maintenance making them ideal for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. Dortek provided fire rated hinged doors to meet EN 1634-1 and local Netherlands fire requirements.

Dortek supplies doors into a 50mm panel wall system. The client requested a flush integrated magnet. We developed a solution to provide the flush magnet that integrates into the frame head. The Dortek katro frame enables very quick door and frame installation time for the contractor, as the doors are factory fitted with ironmongery and integrated magnetic locks, but also the frame and door system can be installed later in the project meaning more flexibility during the erection of the panel walls and better quality control. This detail is now being implemented in many of our other projects as the standard magnet detail for 50 and 60mm wall panel systems.

Many of the Dortek doors were interlocked, which included flush integrated mag locks into a 50mm frame system, traffic light and door activation where the doors were automated, and connection to the BMS (Building Management System).
