New external roller doors for EfW site in Scotland

Baldovie EfW CHP facility is a new energy-from-waste site using around 110,000 tonnes of residual waste per year from Dundee and Angus to generate electricity.

The challenge

Due to the nature of the build and technical challenges from the onset, Hart worked direct with the contractor and the consultants in the design phase to provide a solution to suit each challenge faced such as corrosion, odours, noise and infestation

Project / doors required

7 insulated roller shutter
1 high speed door - Speedor Storm

Project challenges

Odour & Noise

Concern over emissions, threat of odour abatement or noise order

Dust & Moisture

Dust and dirt containment, mechanical damage from dust

Advanced Specification

Technical knowledge and experience of waste sites

The solution

Insulation is a key feature of an energy saving environment. Insulated roller shutters have a thermal value of minimum 0.69w/m.sq.k and 18db to minimise operational noise. The Speedor Storm is an extremely robust door with wind class 5 up to 8m. Moisture-controlled electrics protect from varying temperatures within a building, and mechanical components are protected from dust and dirt controlling the escaping dirt, odours and noise.

The success

Following extensive communication with the contractor and the consultants to ensure the smooth running of the project, the steelwork was designed and installed correctly to allow for the timely installation of the Hart manufactured doors. Each door was made to measure and each activator and safety device fitted to suit the environment.
