Skaraborg Hospital, Sweden: Advanced medical care and innovative fire safety

 

Skaraborg Hospital in Skövde (Sweden) takes pride in the construction of a new hospital facility that houses departments such as the emergency room, radiology, surgery, intensive care, ambulance hall and a central sterile unit. These diverse spaces are designed to meet specific medical needs but share the same purpose: to improve patient care for years to come and to handle a rising number of patients effectively.

 

Safe evacuation from the fire zone is taken care of

 

To provide with the highest possible safety standard, five fire escape sliding doors 500 EFS have been installed on escape routes in the hospital. One is located at the central sterilization center, while the other four are placed across two floors in the emergency department.

They are rated EI30 and EI60, meaning they can hold back fire for up to 30 or 60 minutes. This allows hospital staff to stabilize patients, especially those in intensive care or undergoing surgery, before initiating safe evacuation procedures.

In the event of a fire or emergency, the 500 EFS doors switch from sliding to swing mode, providing quick access in both directions by simply pushing or pulling the handle. This ensures safe evacuation routes for staff and patients that are in the danger areas, while enabling emergency responders to easily enter from the opposite side.

Under normal conditions the 500 EFS function as standard automatic sliding doors. They open with a motion sensor and are further secured with access control systems.

 

Fire safety and thoughtful design details make the perfect pair

 

In addition to safety, the 500 EFS are designed to complement the hospital’s modern look. The door drive is colored white to blend with the walls, giving the doors a clean and professional appearance.

Milky glass door leaves also add privacy by blocking direct views into medical rooms, while still allowing more light to flow between these spaces and the hallway.
