The challenge for big openings

Managing large industrial openings is one of the most complex challenges in highly specialized sectors such as aeronautical hangars and shipyards. In these environments, oversized openings, constant exposure to wind and weather conditions, and the need to ensure continuous and efficient operations often make traditional door systems inadequate.

When dealing with large openings, installing a standard industrial door is not enough. What is required is a technically advanced solution, specifically designed to adapt to the operating environment, integrate seamlessly with daily workflows, ensure high safety standards, and help reduce long-term operating and maintenance costs. In facilities of this scale, choosing the wrong closure system can significantly impact productivity, maintenance requirements, and overall operational continuity.

The challenge of large openings in complex industrial environments

Aeronautical hangars and shipyards present highly specific challenges that require a dedicated design approach and deep application expertise. Technical managers, engineers, and project managers are often required to address issues such as:

  • Exceptionally large openings, often incompatible with standard market solutions
  • High wind loads, particularly critical in coastal, port, and airport areas
  • Frequent opening and closing cycles, essential to maintain smooth logistics and operational efficiency
  • The need to keep maneuvering areas completely clear, avoiding ground guides or floor-mounted elements that could interfere with vehicles, aircraft, or oversized loads
  • Control of energy losses, which is crucial in large-volume buildings to limit waste and reduce heating and cooling costs

The use of inadequately designed solutions can lead to operational delays, safety concerns, increased maintenance costs, higher energy consumption, and, in the most critical cases, downtime that directly affects productivity.

The solution: MegaPack® high-speed doors for special industrial applications

MegaPack® high-speed folding doors by BMP Doors have been developed specifically to meet the demands of special industrial applications and extra-large, non-standard openings. This is not an off-the-shelf product, but a fully customized solution, designed starting from a thorough analysis of the actual operating conditions.

Each MegaPack® project is based on a detailed technical assessment that takes into account opening dimensions, environmental conditions (wind, humidity, salt air, temperature variations), usage frequency, required opening speeds, and operational flows. The goal is to deliver a high-speed door that is reliable, high-performing, and engineered to withstand demanding conditions over time.

The concrete advantages of MegaPack® doors

MegaPack® high-speed doors provide real, measurable benefits for operators working in complex and high-intensity industrial environments:

  • Custom-designed solutions for large and non-standard openings
  • High structural resistance, even under strong wind loads and harsh environmental conditions
  • Vertical folding opening system, eliminating the need for ground guides
  • Reduced downtime and maintenance costs, thanks to a robust and reliable structure
  • Improved energy efficiency, supported by fast opening and closing cycles in large-volume buildings

These features make MegaPack® doors particularly suitable for aeronautical hangars, where fast and safe access for aircraft and service vehicles is essential, and for shipyards, where reliable door operation must be guaranteed even in the presence of wind, high humidity, and saline environments.
