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.
