Commercial Overhead Doors at the Transit Facility

Commercial overhead doors make this busy transit center safer and efficient.

A busy metropolitan Transit Facility in Pennsylvania, a central hub for bus operations, faced several operational inefficiencies and safety concerns. To address these issues, the facility management decided to install commercial overhead doors in strategic locations within the building.

Challenges Faced by the Metro Transit Facility

1. Temperature Control: The facility experienced significant fluctuations in temperature, affecting both the comfort of employees and the maintenance of vehicles.

2. Security Concerns: The open bays where buses enter and exit pose a security risk, with unauthorized access being a constant concern.

3. Operational Efficiency: The process of moving vehicles in and out of the facility was often delayed due to the manual opening and closing of standard doors, leading to increased turnaround times.

4. Safety Issues: The movement of vehicles in open areas increased the risk of accidents and injuries among staff and drivers.
   

Objectives of Installing Commercial Overhead Doors

1. Enhanced Security: Implementing a system that controls access more effectively to prevent unauthorized entry.

2. Improved Climate Control: Reducing energy costs and maintaining a stable environment within the facility.

3. Increased Operational Efficiency: Streamlining vehicle movement to reduce turnaround times.

4. Enhanced Safety: Minimizing the risk of accidents by providing a more controlled entry and exit environment.

Results and Benefits of Commercial Overhead Doors

1. Enhanced Security: The automated overhead doors significantly improved the security of the facility. Access control systems integrated with the doors ensured that only authorized personnel could enter, thereby reducing the risk of theft and vandalism.

2. Improved Climate Control: The new doors provided better insulation, helping to maintain a consistent internal temperature and reducing heating and cooling costs.
   

3. Operational Efficiency: Vehicle turnaround times decreased due to the quick and efficient operation of the overhead doors, which could be opened and closed with a push of a button or remote control.

4. Safety Improvements: The controlled environment reduced the risk of accidents. The doors' safety sensors and automatic stop features ensured that no personnel or equipment were harmed during operations.
   

Conclusion

The installation of commercial overhead doors at the Transit Facility proved to be a strategic move that addressed multiple operational challenges. The facility not only enhanced its security and safety but also realized significant improvements in efficiency and cost savings. This case highlights the importance of modernizing infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of transit operations and ensure a safe, efficient, and secure environment for both employees and assets.
