London Oxford Airport chooses Megadoor Megadoor
It is the Thames Valley area’s primary regional and business aviation airport, it is also the only commercial airport between London Heathrow (LHR) and Birmingham (BHX).
The Megadoor® comprises a vertical lifting fabric door with a total clear dimension of 32 m wide x 9 m high, with two individually or jointly manoeuvrable 16 meter‐wide leaves connected by a swing‐up mullion.
Megadoor also provided project and design support to the design‐and‐build contractor and was responsible for installation and commissioning.
Several major benefits
When completed, this Megadoor installation will offer a number of major benefits, including:
• LOA maximised the available space, by constructing all three hangars side by side
• The ability to open all three hangars fully at the same time
• Full access across the hangar width, for maximum utilization of hangar capacity.
• An additional 40m² of usable hangar floor area.
• No floor tracks: practically no door footprint.
• Fast, reliable performance. Easy operation.
• Long lifetime, low operating cost.
• Excellent air tightness and wind resistance.
• Minimal maintenance need. Easy to repair.
• Extended warranties are available for up to 10 years on all components.
The order was placed in June and the installation is expected to be completed during the beginning of November. The Megadoor will be manufactured in Skellefteå, Sweden.
James Dillon‐Godfray, Head of Marketing & Development for the airport is very pleased with the cooperation with Megadoor: “Having assessed a number of door solutions for new hangar builds at London Oxford Airport, we’ve concluded that the Megadoor option provides the preferred solution, making best use
of the available space and for simplicity of operation.”
