Leading automatic door specialist Bauporte Gulf has launched a comprehensive preventative maintenance service in the UAE mainly designed at ensuring the continued safety of users and protect automatic doors from the rigours of day-to-day use, thus providing building managers with a breakdown-free solution.
Headquartered in Dubai, Bauporte Gulf's mission is to serve a growing number of iconic, landmark projects in the Gulf region. The Middle East team includes design and technical experts that service the entire GCC region, as well as the Indian subcontinent.
According to Bauporte, this new service, involving regular maintenance and cleaning checks, improves reliability while reducing wear and tear as well as minimising asset life cycle and replacement costs for high-value automatic doors.
Covering automatic revolving, pivot and sliding doors, the package has already proven popular with building managers of high footfall commercial premises, such as airports, cafes, shopping malls, hotels and office buildings.
It appeals to those wishing to avoid broken or jammed automatic doors that can lead to business interruption or inconvenienced customers, plus increased chiller costs and expensive emergency repairs, said the statement from Bauporte.
By identifying minor repairs before costly breakdowns occur and avoiding same-day emergency service, building managers can capture significant operational savings and keep customers moving in their premises without interruption.
Paul Haslam, partner at Bauporte Gulf in Dubai, said: "There are two major benefits of preventative maintenance: reducing unnecessary wear and tear and identifying the need for minor repairs in advance of a breakdown. With the new Bauporte service, our technicians inspect all components of the door for signs of wear and damage, including door thresholds as well as rollers, upper and lower bearings, operators, shafts, and guides."
"In addition, we regularly adjust door tracks, bottom guides and rollers to ensure the components are level, aligned, and most importantly clean," noted Haslam.
According to him, maintaining automatic doors was more challenging in the Middle East than in Europe or elsewhere due to the presence of airborne sand particles that could penetrate the automatic door mechanism causing accelerated wear and damage.
"Therefore, it’s more important in the Gulf region for building managers to clean the inner workings of automatic doors regularly, or arrange a preventative maintenance service," he added.
Haslam said cleaning the internal workings of automatic doors was a key part of Bauporte’s service.
"Once clean, our staff then lubricate all drive rods, chains, rollers, bearings and pivots as required. This lubricant can help protect the mechanism from future sand penetration and potential damage, but it is equally important for this to be completed at regular intervals," he added.
The Bauporte preventative maintenance service involves an annual contract incorporating regular site visits and checks, as well as a 24/7 urgent callout service, said the company statement.
Bauporte Gulf is currently offering building managers a free initial consultation and site inspection to assess the condition of automatic doors, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
