Fire Rated Door Solutions at Chengdu Tianfu International Airport
Project Overview
- Project Name: Chengdu Tianfu International Airport
- Location: Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China
- Scale: Total construction area of approximately 1 million square meters, designed for an annual passenger throughput of 90 million, including terminal buildings and multiple auxiliary functional zones.
- Client Requirement: To integrate high safety performance with modern aesthetics, providing fire rated door solutions to effectively prevent fire spread while safeguarding lives and property.
Project Challenges
As a large-scale modern airport, Chengdu Tianfu International Airport faced the following challenges:
● High Fire Resistance: Fire rated doors needed to withstand extreme heat and flames to ensure safe evacuation routes.
● Sealing and Soundproofing: The special airport environment required fire rated doors with excellent sealing and soundproofing to enhance passenger comfort.
● Aesthetics and Functionality: The design of fire rated doors had to align seamlessly with the modern architectural style of the airport while balancing functionality and appearance.
Solutions
To address these challenges, the company provided a comprehensive set of solutions:
● High-Performance Fire rated doors: Manufactured using premium-grade steel and specialized fire-resistant materials, the doors meet stringent national standards. The internal filling uses proprietary fireproof core materials, offering superior insulation and smoke prevention.
● Customized Design: Fire rated doors were tailored to match the airport's overall architectural style, offering a range of door types and color schemes. Smart sensing systems were installed to automatically close doors during fires, ensuring safe evacuation.
● Strict Quality Control: Production and installation were conducted under ISO quality management standards, ensuring that every door met or exceeded performance expectations.
Implementation Process
The project was executed in four phases: design, production, installation, and acceptance. To minimize disruption to airport operations, installation was scheduled during non-peak hours. For specific areas, personalized fire rated door installation plans were devised.
