SOMMERs security gates and security doors (interior and exterior doors) meet requirements and qualification measures to guarantee earthquake, fire and/or tornado safety

The basis for this is provided by elaborate simulations in combination with load tests on real constructions, which were realised in cooperation with renowned institutes. Once again, this example shows the extraordinary solution competence of the in-house development department - new developments on behalf of the customer are our core competence.

Of the 58 plants in France, 42 buildings are equipped with separately arranged generators, which are secured with SOMMER doors and gates - order volume 6.2 million EUR. Contract partners are the major French general contractors such as VINCI, Léon Grosse, Bouygues and Neveu. Inside the building, SOMMER is installing 14 single-leaf and double-leaf fire doors. In addition to the specified fire and environmental protection properties, the external tornado doors (1-leaf and 2-leaf) also fulfil defined impact loads from tornado events. The generator's insertion opening is closed with an object protection door with dimensions of 4.5 m x 5.3 m and a construction weight of approx. 6 t, which was also designed to meet the specified tornado requirements
