Derby County F.C
Main Contracter: 
Taylor Woodrow
Architect: The Miller Partnership
Value: £50,000


After over 100 years at the Baseball Ground Derby Country F.C. decided the time was right for a move to a brand new purpose built 30,000 all seater stadium at Pride Park near the city centre. Taylor Woodrow Construction having been awarded the main contract turned to us for the resistant roller shutter package. The works page included the design, manufacture and installation of in excess of thirty electrically operated fire resistant roller shutters to the fast food, restaurants, and refreshment bars beneath the main stands. Working closely with the Taylor Woodrow design team an agreement was reached on a specially designed Fire Resistant Roller Shutter installation making best use of the standard opening structure design. Each of the shutters had to be capable of normal operation via locally positioned push button units. In addition the shutters of the alarm close automatically upon receipt of the fire alarm signal under a controlled rate of descent via gravity. This project was successfully completed on schedule in time for the official opening by HRH the Queen on the 14th July 1997 .
