Revolving doors and preventive fire protection at the ÖAMTC

… tangent of the A23 city motorway. The Vienna architects Pichler & Traupmann realised the idea in a curved, circular and star-shaped architecture with open and transparent room connections. All key areas are arranged around a vertical axis. The importance of fast interaction and exchange between the areas can be seen in the central, transparent atrium too, with its circular balustrades, which are offset to each other and stacked upwards. Eye-catching element and ‘hub’ in the foyer – revolving doors by GEZE Automatic revolving door systems from the TSA 325 NT range in the ÖAMTC Mobility Centre in Vienna. © Sigrid Rauchdobler / GEZE GmbH GEZE revolving doors at the main and side entrances connect the outside and inside, and ensure the aesthetic consistency of the glass façade. The swing door, with its fine-framed drum walls and leaves, creates an invitingly bright and transparent effect. The glass edges of the revolving door are covered by discreet aluminium profiles. The high-quality profile finish with rounded edges lends a hint of elegance. A comfortable climate and a quiet environment thanks to insulating revolving doors The revolving doors serve not only as entrance doors for personnel, they also separate the interior from the exterior climate. Draughts stay outside. The air curtain unit fitted in the ceiling canopy provides additional protection against incoming cold air. Because of the insulating effect of the revolving doors, background noise from the motorway also stays outside – a welcome benefit because the entrances are situated at the same height as the carriageways. Revolving doors provide ease of access and safety Members, visitors, and employees of the ÖAMTC Mobility Centre should of course enjoy ease of access as they come and go. Revolving doors by GEZE are an optimal solution. The semi-automatic TSA 325 NT revolving door selected uses the automatic positioning device to reset the leaf to the starting position after entering, so that the next ‘passenger’ can be accepted. The safety standards for GEZE revolving doors are high: Contact with the closing edges triggers an emergency brake and prevents hands or objects getting trapped between drum walls and side-hung leaves. Automatically limiting the revolving speed of the door leaves guarantees safety when entering the new ÖAMTC Centre. Fire protection and universal access in one – door closers from GEZE With intelligent window systems for preventive fire protection (SHE) by GEZE. © Sigrid Rauchdobler / GEZE GmbH Modern door closer technology provides preventive fire protection for barrier-free escape and rescue route doors on the floors. The GEZE TS 5000 EFS type free swing door closers , for instance, allow personnel to enter through the doors without requiring much force to open or close them. The comfort hold-open function allows the door to be stopped at the end of the free swing area. The hold-open function prevents doors from closing in an uncontrolled manner – caused by a draft for instance – or remaining stopped in the room.
