NEW ON BOARD
Champion Door’s Special
Doors for Shipyards
Champion Door Oy has delivered new large doors
to shipyards around the world. The doors supplied
are very large, with a width of 30–60 m and up to
50 m in height.
T
he construction of the Champion Door door is lighter than
ordinary fabric foldup doors, so heavy oversized structures are
not required for the main building. This will bring significant sav-
ings on the building costs of the hall. Doors can be manufactured
in different strengths. The door frame strength is determined by
door size and wind load requirements. Despite the lightness of the
structure, the doors are designed to withstand strong wind loads.
Wind resistance has been tested in a research facility.
Shipyards are usually located on the seacoast where corro-
sion protection of the components is paramount. The metal parts
of the Champion Door shipyard doors are corrosion protected and Champion Door Oy has invested in thermal insulation in their
they withstand dust, dirt and moisture well. Thanks to its simple product development of shipyard doors. Good thermal insulation
structure, the doors are virtually maintenance-free. All these fac- reduces heating or cooling costs and increases working comfort. n
tors increase the lifetime of the door, and thus its lifecycle costs
remain reasonable.
