WATERTIGHT DOORS

Pensher Skytech’s watertight doors are designed to provide protection for environments requiring marine access solutions. They offer a simple and effective means of providing watertight protection to any exposed entrance or compartment that could be at risk of severe weather, sea infiltration, or environments at risk of floods. Protection against water and flooding can save significant damage and cost to properties and assets.

PERFORMANCE

Pensher Skytech’s watertight and flood defence doors are designed to be highly effective under significant pressures. They provide watertight integrity against a head of water pressure applied from either side. The quick turning of the hand wheel, combined with fully adjustable clamping mechanisms ensures our watertight access door will seal with minimum effort.

MANUFACTURING

Pensher Skytech’s watertight doors typically comprise of a steel fabricated plate up to 8mm thick, stiffened where necessary, which is secured in the closed position by 6 (or to suit) clip handles independently operated from either side of the door.

Complying with the requirements of the load line convention for positions 1 and 2, our watertight doors are based upon a well proven design that is easy to install and maintain, and effective under high pressures. For flood defence doors, the standard requires resistance to standing water to a height of 600mm, for up to 48 hours.

TESTING

Pensher Skytech undertake detailed analysis to validate new concepts and products.

Analysis helps optimise product design, performance and cost, and includes in-depth analysis into finite element, process modelling, advanced stress, fatigue, vibration and thermodynamic. Pensher Skytech’s in-house testing facilities perform watertight, weathertight and gastight tests by subjecting products to high pressures from either compressed air or water.

Further verification techniques include thermodynamic testing, hydrostatic pressure testing, fire testing, weathertight, spray-tight testing, gastight and pneumatic testing.

APPLICATIONS

Applications for watertight and flood defence doors typically include:

Ships
Marine Structures
Containers
Offshore Structures
Offshore wind farms
Renewable Energy Projects.
Areas and properties that are at risk of flood.
