CASE STUDIES

	3 individual fire cells
Fonterra NZ Fire Rated Doors Fonterra built their coolstore in Crawford Street, Hamilton, as the flagship cool storage hub for the North Island, responsible for international distribution of Fonterra’s dairy products produced in the Waikato region. The coolstore was built with productivity, quality and safety in mind. Storage is available for up to 54,000 MT of cheese and butter. The building is divided into 3 separate fire cells. However railway lines run the length of the building on one side to allow trains to deliver directly into the coolstore. Won-Door was the only product on the market that in an emergency could be automatically deployed across the railway tracks to provide a 3 hour fire rating, complementing the other fire mitigation measures, and completing the separation of the building into the 3 fire cells. In this way Fonterra and its insurers could mitigate any loss from a fire to one third of the stock (contained in the cell where fire broke out) and still keep looking after customer needs with the remaining stock. Won-Door will be an essential part of any future coolstores of this type and size.
