Customer situation They were extending the existing dry dock and wanted to improve on their existing system to accommodate the building of much larger superyachts. The existing doors were rusting and very difficult to open and the customer required the site operational as quick as possible. Challenges / Critical Issues ͕ Ease of operation  Maximum clear opening Օ High winds  Installation over a dry dock Օ Reduced energy costs  Reduce the carbon footprint Reasons and Impact Օ Existing doors were difficult to open  The doors restricted the opening Օ They had floor tracks, which clogged  The corrosion caused as it is costal Objective Օ Door to open on push of a single button  To increase natural light in the building Օ Give a clear opening, the full width of dock  Use non-corrosive components C5 Marine Օ To increase the Pendennis profile Solution delivered  Megadoor Project door Օ Designed to withstand over 100mph winds  With Translucent Fabric Օ Very large Pendennis logo Result The new door is very easy to operate and has increased the natural light into the building, thus reducing the energy costs and enhancing the working conditions. The Pendennis logo is 20m wide x 8m high and can be seen by anyone entering Falmouth harbour. Quote The customer was happy that the building was provided in 17 weeks, from drawing board to install.
