As part of the Sheffield BSF programme, Newfield and Talbot schools
were designed to become a co-located facility, with Talbot School a
dedicated, multi-disability Special Educational Needs provider. Once
the project was completed, the school recognised that they needed to
provide more independence to the students by automating the internal
doors to the classrooms and hygiene areas, thus also improving
accessibility within the building.
Besam was originally chosen by BDP Architects and Vinci Construction
as the partner of choice for the original build and was confident
that a good solution could be provided by offering a trial
demonstrating the benefits of this new solution. After a successful
three month trial period a further 24 doors were automated on the
site.
Besam, an existing lifecycle provider to Vinci FM, was selected on
this project for its technical expertise and ability to provide the
correct product solution. The installation of the 24 doors proved
both efficient and timely with excellent feedback from the building
staff and students.
The Besam SW100 Low Energy Swing Door operator was chosen
specifically for its silent operation, good aesthetics and the
limited impact it would have on the existing building. Besam was
also able to offer a comprehensive range of push button activation
devices best suited to the needs of the individuals. As part of the
ASSA ABLOY Group, Besam was able to draw on expertise to provide new
locks that would work well with the SW100 to provide good
operational performance. The SW100 has had a great success in the
marketplace on internal applications where users recognise that
modern door closers, when used to provide a fire break, smoke seal,
acoustic seal and access control, fail to provide convenient
disabled access.
Besam design, manufacture, supply, install and maintain many types
of automated entrances including Revolving, Swinging, and Sliding
Systems. We are part of the ASSA ABLOY Group, the global leader in
door opening solutions.
We provide your end user clients with support throughout the
lifecycle of our products, which in many cases has exceeded well
over 20 years.
