EXTERNAL ENVELOPE 47
Hörmann industrial doors installed at British Army Vehicle storage depot
H
örmann are working with Skanska UK on a £259 million
Ministry of Defence contract to deliver the
Vehicle Storage Support Programme (VSSP) at Ashchurch in Tewkesbury, which will provide modern, sustainable and effective storage and maintenance for the British Army’s land equipment fl eet.
The overall project consists of the construction,
mechanical and electrical
engineering for a complex programme that will see the demolition of 58 buildings, the construction of 12 new buildings and refurbishment of one existing facility, plus renewal of the site’s wide infrastructure. On completion it will provide a centralised facility which will ensure the operational readiness of the Army’s vehicles by minimising the need for maintenance.
The updated facilities will provide Controlled Humidity Environment (CHE) storage, aimed at reducing maintenance costs and any unnecessary deterioration caused
by extreme drops or rises in temperature, ensuring that the vehicles are operationally ready at all times.
As part of this key
requirement Hörmann UK are supplying a total of 226 of their SPU F42 fully automated Industrial Sectional Doors which are split between the 12 new warehouse units and represents one of the largest ‘door only’ projects that the company has undertaken. Hörmann SPU F42 double-skinned industrial sectional doors are well known
within the marketplace, recognised for their good thermal effi ciency and air
tightness
properties – key factors in this major project. The doors specifi ed can achieve an impressive U-value of 1.2 W/m2k for doors including vision panels and a value of 0.9 W/m2k for solid doors. All of the doors supplied provide Class 3 air permeability. This has been achieved with enhanced sealing of the door, with an improved bottom seal, corner seals which improve the tightness between the door frame and lintel, together with infi ll seals between the ribbing in each section. All doors are fi nished in RAL 7016 Anthracite grey externally and Hormann’s standard RAL 9002 Grey white internally and provide a minimum clear opening of 5,000 mm x 5,000 mm. Installation of the fi rst doors began in October 2023, with the project expected to be completed by June 2026.
