Waste firm keeps out the wind

Waste 2 Resources is constructing
two state-of-the-art waste treatment
facilities in Leyland and Thornton in
partnership with waste processing
specialist Global Renewables to
deliver a waste management contract
for Lancashire County Council and
Blackpool Council.

Stertil Stokvis has been awarded a
contract worth almost £1.5m to
supply external doors and shutters at
the sites, including its Ultra
Tough M & I Doors, insulated
roller shutters and personnel
doors.

The Ultra Tough M & I Door
has heavy duty side frames, thick
rubber curtain and Windlok
design to form a near-airtight
seal that can resist wind
pressures up to hurricane force. The
system has a special rubber profile
incorporated into each vertical edge
of the door curtain. When the heavy
duty front channel is closed, the
Windlok is tightly secured. As wind
pressure is put on the door area, the
door panel locks into place. The
more pressure, the better the seal.
