Boon Edam – which has dozens of Fortune 500 companies among its global clients, including some of the world’s largest firms – already has more than 100 installations in Australia, spanning office buildings, airports, healthcare facilities, retail outlets, hotels, restaurants and national attractions visited by millions of people a year.
The new doors are a striking focal point of the $100m regeneration project for the Rialto building, managed by Built, to modernise the building and extend it by wrapping new buildings around its base.
Built Procurement Director Mr Peter Radovanovic says that Boon Edam’s global expertise, recently established Australian operation and ability to undertake a service agreement were the key reasons they were selected to build the doors.
“Boon Edam has an excellent track record for delivering on complex projects. For the main entry into such an iconic Melbourne building, we had to go with a proven supplier,” said Mr Radovanovic.
“Taking on the service agreement was another major advantage for us. Having a global leader that’s also the door’s original manufacturer look after all the service and maintenance gives us a greater level of confidence that the door will always remain standards compliant, and run at an optimum level of efficiency and reliability. Additionally, Boon Edam provided us with a robust Quality Assurance plan,” he said.
The doors are part of Boon Edam’s Tourniket range, with custom-made Tournex dual motors to control the giant 1.3t doors. These motors had to be installed at the top and bottom to control the door’s wings and comply with Australian safety standards, which specify that the door needs to be able to stop instantly if an emergency sensor is triggered. Boon Edam worked closely with the project engineers to integrate this dual motor system into the building’s existing infrastructure.
Mr Michael Fisher, Managing Director of Boon Edam Australia said that it was rewarding to work on such a unique and large-scale project. “This project presented us with a number of unusual challenges, but rather than baulk at them, we used our highly experienced team to figure out the best solutions. A key focus for us is blending architecturally sound engineering with visually pleasing and functional designs,” he said.
“Entrance doors are now more than simply a way in and out – they are mobility hotspots that often give the first impression of a building. Revolving doors are not only one of the most efficient ways to control people in and out of a building, but they also help with sustainability by reducing the load placed on the HVAC system. There is far less mixing of inside and outside air, so less energy is needed to heat or cool the building,” says Mr Fisher.
Boon Edam’s Australian office has recently introduced an OEM service offering, including full servicing and preventative maintenance, which can be applied to any revolving door in the country.
