The doorway, 3500 mm wide by 5000 mm high, was entirely reconstructed, keeping its functionality and aesthetic stylistic features intact.
This required an initial survey phase, which was followed by the stages
of redesign, structural testing and static strength, up to the fabrication
and installation of the new gate.
Surveys
The makeover
The door, originally composed of 2 large doors, was further divided into 2: an upper part about 2000 mm high fixed, or manually opening and a lower part about 2600 mm high with motorized opening.
A pedestrian entrance was included in the lower part, with safety exit function.
The idea of further subdividing the gate into 2 made it possible to optimize the
operation of the motorized arms, favoring their functionality and durability, while avoiding
at the same time the imposing opening of a gate more than 5000 mm high.
