The challenge in the space industry is to provide doors that can be designed to be very narrow and tall and which will better withstand the extremely high or hurricane force wind conditions. Typically, doors for space industry facilities must be very light weight and must be manufactured to exceptionally high standards, due to the fact that they are used in rocket assembly and payload encapsulation environments. Additionally, many installations require craneway openings, and may need to be controlled from various locations in the vertical integration facility as the controller must see the door movement from different locations in the tower. And, even though the doors are not opened very frequently, they must always provide consistent reliability due to the critical need for the doors to be opened as an integral part of the production/launch process.
All Megadoors are specifically engineered for the particular application being considered, and are installed and maintained by local firms who specialize in servicing the space industry. (More information click here)
