Brief
The hospital needed hygienic GRP door solutions which are free from natural materials such as timber for their clinical and high hygiene areas.
Solution
Dortek supplied clean area and theatre doors, it’s these operating theatre doors that are most innovative. The doors were fire rated, hygienic, x ray rated and hermetic sealing, incorporating four different door types into one in order to offer a complete solution. Dortek also supplied 3metre long hygienic observation windows into lab areas with lead lining and Smart Glass technology. Pass through hatches were installed in the hospitals cell culture lab and automations & interlocking were used for controlled and convenient access.
Brief
The facility runs with a typical cascading air pressure regime with air passing from production rooms into a barrier corridor. During a routine cleaning exercise a small amount of dust was observed on the extract grilles of the doors leading from the production areas to the barrier corridor. The existing doors were hollow core and there were concerns that the voids inside the doors may contain bacteria loaded dust, so ARC carried out an investigation. Microbiological testing of samples taken from within the hollow door voids determined that the dust was indeed carrying multiple forms of bacteria, which is a major risk to facility operations.
Solution
ARC specified Dortek hygienic GRP doors to remove the possibility of further bacterial growth. Dortek doors are extremely light weight and the seamless solid core construction ensures that bacterial growth cannot reoccur. The moulded GRP shell is incredibly robust ensuring that effective surface decontamination, using a variety of gaseous sterilants can be performed, without the risk of the door integrity being compromised. The project used a variety of Dortek sliding and hinged doors to maximise functionality, maintain optimum hygiene levels and improve layout & personnel flows.
The main focus is private elective surgery with six theatres, a two-bed ICU facility, forty-one inpatient beds, twenty-four day surgery beds, six-day surgery chairs along with a fully equipped Cardiac Catheterisation Lab. The architects needed fire rated sliding doors for operating theatres on this project. As there was tight space, hinged doors would take up too much swing room in the corridors so the sliding doors were an ideal solution for ease of entry for trolley bed access to the theatres. The doors also needed to have a fire rating to the New Zealand fire standards as they were being used in a fire-rated wall and Dortek were able to provide all the necessary certification for these door types. As these were operating theatres, the doors need to be of a high hygienic standard.
Mercy Hospital new operating theatres required fire rated sliding doors to meet New Zealand Fire Certification codes but also offer high hygienic standards for operating theatres. Dortek were able to provide our hygienic GRP fire rated sliding doors with auto opening and safety sensors.
The aim of the redevelopment project was to become FINA compliant. The Parap Swimming Pool in Darwin, Australia needed watertight and corrosion-resistant doors that would not rot, rust, warp, swell or corrode. These doors were going to be used in external areas where they were exposed to chlorine swimming pool water, natural rainwater and high temperatures from sun exposure so they wanted doors that would withstand the conditions but also adaptable to the architecture aesthetic finish.
Dortek were able to supply their GRP doors and frames to the project as it was a necessity for the doors to be water and corrosion-resistant. Additional requirements were that some of the doors be located externally and able to withstand exposure to the sun and hot temperatures.
