Project Country: AMERICAS

Brief

The facility required hygienic door systems for its new 175,000 square foot facility in Columbus, Ohio, The Hearth, to serve as its headquarters. The Hearth is a custom-designed cGMP facility dedicated to AAV vector manufacturing.

Solution

Dortek supplied 119 FRP swing doors in custom two piece Stainless Steel frames to the manufacturing site. With a smooth and seamless construction, Dortek doors have no ledges, recesses or right angles where dust or bacteria can be trapped and grow. Our fiberglass doors are completely water and chemical resistant which makes them ideal for areas with regular and rigorous cleaning regimes.

 

Brief

The facility required hygienic door systems for a $50 million expansion at its Camden facility in Baltimore to increase its contract development and manufacturing capacity.

Solution

Dortek have supplied over 160 FRP doors with Stainless Steel frames and FRP frames across numerous Emergent sites in the US. Dortek’s molded FRP doors are manufactured from fiber reinforced polyester and contain no organic material. With a smooth and seamless construction, Dortek doors have no ledges, recesses or right angles where dust or bacteria can be trapped and grow. Our fiberglass doors are completely water and chemical resistant which makes them ideal for areas with regular and rigorous cleaning regimes.

Brief

The facility required hygienic door systems for a new cell and gene therapy process and analytical development as well as drug substance manufacturing site in the Philadelphia region. They have also acquired a 310,000-square-foot plant in Boston which will be a multi-modality manufacturing and state-of-the-art quality laboratories.

Solution

Dortek has worked on projects at numerous Resilience facilities and supplied over 130 molded FRP doors in Stainless Steel frames. Dortek molded fiberglass doors are ideal for hygienic critical environments due to their smooth, non-absorbent surface. They are resistant to the accumulation of dirt and easy to clean and disinfect. They are also lightweight and low maintenance in comparison to wood or steel doors.

Brief

The facility required hygienic door systems for its “research neighborhoods” which foster cross-disciplinary collaboration by providing wet, dry, and computational research labs. The facilities include a vivarium with animal holding areas, procedure rooms and a teaching lab.

Solution

Dortek supplied over 60 hygienic molded FRP door sets for this project. Dortek fibergalss doors are ideal for research and vivarium environments due to their non-porous smooth hygienic construction. The doors do not collect dirt and are easy to clean. The doors also withstand moisture for a prolonged period of time and are not adversely affected by daily washing and disinfection.

Brief

Dortek were brought in as consultants to provide access solutions to help maximise functionality and space across the laboratories. The client was dissatisfied with their current hollow metal swing doors, which were very heavy and difficult to operate. The doors also occupied a large area of floor space to open onto, which was wasted due to this.

Solution

Dortek designed, supplied and installed custom sliding doors for over 50 laboratory rooms in the facility. The main benefit of the doors was that they required minimal floorspace so the client could make better use of this. Dortek FRP doors have a smooth surface which is non-porous and fluid/chemical resistant, unlike steel doors. The doors are very easy to keep clean and have no lips, joins or ledges. Dortek fiberglass doors are much more lightweight, easier to operate and more hygienic in comparison to heavy steel doors.

Brief

The facility will create life-saving solutions to some of the most challenging biological issues facing humans today, including neuropsychiatric diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, autism, malaria, and metabolic disorders. Dortek were brought in to provide access solutions to help maximise hygiene, space and functionality across the facility.

Solution

Dortek designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned 110 hygienic FRP door systems for the research facilities laboratories. With a smooth and seamless construction, Dortek molded FRP doors have no ledges, recesses or right angles where dust or bacteria can be trapped and grow. Our FRP doors are free of timber and other organic materials that promote bacterial growth.

Brief

The construction project at Oncorus consisted of 33,000 s/f of office space renovations and a full renovation of existing lab space for R&D and preclinical science. Dortek were brought in to provide access solutions to help maximise hygiene, space and functionality across the facility.

Solution

Dortek designed, supplied and installed 70 cleanroom swing doors and cleanroom sliding doors with automations for easy access. We also supplied 45 hygienic double paned windows which were fitted to existing openings to ensure a cleanroom finish on exterior openings. Two piece stainless steel frames were used for a faster, efficient install and to achieve a flush finish with the drywall.

Brief

The hospital required sliding doors for ease of access to wet laboratories and clinical areas. The doors needed to be ultra hygienic and water resistant.

Solution

Dortek supplied hygienic automated and manual sliding doors across clinical areas. Working with the project architects, our technical sales team helped to develop the specification for this project. Our doors seamless, durable and non absorbent properties make them ideal for hospitals.

VP of US Operations, Michael O’Rourke Comment: “We are extremely proud to have been part of this project and to support research at this facility.  From the outset, the project teams focus was solely on supporting researchers and giving them the best possible facility to carry out their life saving and life changing studies. Research undertaken at St Jude in Memphis saves children’s lives around the world. To play a small part in supporting such a facility fills all at Dortek with great pride.”

Facility Note:

“The Advanced Research Center will play a substantial role in new scientific discoveries as the new home to several shared resources, including a biorepository, advanced microscopy and gene editing. There, top scientists from around the world will have leading-edge resources and opportunities to pursue breakthroughs in a space that fosters teamwork and generates new ideas.”

LSP Note: LSP are the leading supplier of clean construction materials for laboratory facilities in the US. Dortek and LSP have worked in partnership since 2016 and continue to support the biomedical research industry.
