Overview

The Co-Op Live Arena, poised to host a wide range of events, required robust and efficient infrastructure to manage high footfall safely. The perimeter fire exits, crucial for crowd management and emergency evacuation, needed to meet stringent safety standards while offering seamless operation.

We delivered by installing DORMA ED250 automatic swing operators on newly fabricated steel fire exit doors along the building's perimeter.
