A UK nuclear research facility needed a solution to remotely close and lock steel blast doors in a radiologically active area. This safety-critical requirement demanded a door closure system that delivers outstanding operational reliability, maintaining radiological containment and protecting people from harm.
DHX designed, built and installed a hydraulically powered, remotely operated door closure and locking system. The process is automated, closing and securing the robust, twin–leaf steel doors in a single, simple operation. Each door is driven by a dedicated hydraulic power unit for greater control and reliability.
