Client & Objectives

The client required an innovative and high-end entrance solution that:

• Maintained the architectural integrity of the Etihad Museum’s manuscript-inspired design.
• Eliminated bulky overhead mechanisms to preserve the clean and seamless aesthetic.
• Provided a fully automated, high-performance entrance system suitable for high-traffic public spaces.
• Integrated smoothly with the museum’s security and access control systems.
• Ensured compliance with international safety and accessibility standards.
• Offered a reliable, low-maintenance solution that enhances the visitor experience.
• Contributed to the sustainability and energy efficiency objectives of the museum.

Given the museum’s status as a cultural and historical landmark, it was crucial to implement a door automation system that was both functional and visually unobtrusive. The Record S16-SU inclined sliding door was the perfect solution, offering a sleek, in-ground drive that aligns with the museum’s modern architectural vision while ensuring optimal efficiency and durability.

Challenges & Solutions Implemented

Architectural Constraints: The museum’s manuscript-inspired design required an entrance solution that avoided traditional bulky headers or visible overhead boxes. The Record S16-SU, with its in-ground sliding door drive, provided a nearly invisible automation system, maintaining the clean and uninterrupted visual appeal of the entrance.
Structural Compatibility: Traditional sliding door systems would have interfered with the museum’s modern and minimalistic design. The Blasi-engineered system allows for a completely hidden drive unit beneath the floor, ensuring that the entrance remains unobstructed and seamlessly integrated into the façade.
High Traffic Durability: As a major public attraction, the Etihad Museum experiences significant footfall daily. The S16-SU sliding door system was selected for its durability and capability to handle continuous operation without compromising efficiency. This minimizes downtime and maintenance requirements while ensuring long-term reliability.
Seamless Integration: The automated sliding doors were designed to integrate effortlessly with the museum’s security infrastructure and access control systems. This ensures smooth operation, compliance with emergency exit protocols, and an enhanced visitor management system.
Environmental Adaptability: Dubai’s climate presents challenges such as heat and dust exposure, which can impact automated systems. The Record S16-SU features weather-resistant components that ensure consistent performance under harsh conditions, while the in-ground drive adds further protection against environmental factors.
Energy Efficiency & Sustainability: The automated doors are designed to optimize power usage, minimizing air conditioning loss while ensuring smooth and controlled entry and exit. By contributing to the museum’s sustainability goals, the solution aligns with Dubai’s vision for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly building solutions.
