Mercy Hospital, New Zealand
Established in 1936 and located in Maori Hill, Dunedin, New Zealand, Mercy Hospital is a tertiary level surgical hospital. Mercy Hospital hosts six theatres, a two-bed intensive care unit, in-patient and day-stay beds, alongside a cardiac catheterisation lab and modern oncology unit.
Brief
The project architects needed operating theatre doors which meet fire certification requirements and high hygiene standards.
Solution
Mercy hospital required fire rated sliding doors to meet NZ fire certification codes but also to meet high hygiene standards required in the operating theatres. Dortek manufactured and supplied hygienic GRP doors which met NZ fire certification standards. The doors were also supplied with automations and safety sensors. Sliding doors were chosen to maximise opening space and access for hospital beds and equipment.
