Transport infrastructure demands access products that perform in high traffic, safety critical environments. Fire compartmentation and smoke control are essential in stations, tunnels, and concourses where large numbers of people move through confined spaces. Products must withstand heavy use, resist vandalism and tampering, and provide secure maintenance access to concealed M&E services, all while meeting the enhanced fire safety and evacuation requirements specific to transport buildings.

Our Capabilities

What We Provide for
Transport Projects

Specialist access solutions engineered for the fire safety, durability, and security demands of transport infrastructure.

Fire Performance & Compartmentation

Access panels and riser doors independently fire tested up to 120 minutes (BS EN 1634-1), with R51 ratings up to 240 minutes under BS 476 (to 2029). Bi directional testing on R51 maintains compartmentation regardless of fire direction.

Heavy Duty Construction

Products built for high traffic, high impact environments. Robust frames, heavy gauge materials, and finishes that resist damage from luggage trolleys, cleaning equipment, and daily operational wear.

Tamper Resistant Security

Locking and security options designed for public environments. Controlled access to electrical risers, plant rooms, and service zones, preventing unauthorised access while allowing efficient maintenance.

Frequent Access Design

Hinged, lockable panels designed for thousands of operational cycles. Transport M&E systems need regular servicing, and our products maintain performance and security over the long term, not just at installation.

Bespoke for Complex Infrastructure

Non standard openings, unusual substrates, curved walls, and infrastructure specific constraints are common in transport projects. We manufacture bespoke solutions to exact requirements in 3 to 5 working days.

Multi Stakeholder Documentation

Transport projects involve complex approval chains. We provide complete documentation including fire test reports, smoke test evidence, datasheets, NBS specifications, and installation guidance, formatted for architects, engineers, network operators, and safety authorities.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about specifying access solutions for transport infrastructure.

Do you provide smoke tested products for transport environments?

Selected access panel and riser door datasheets in our range are smoke tested (Sa rated under BS EN 1634-3) to support smoke control strategies in stations, tunnels, and enclosed concourses — not all variants. Confirm the specific datasheet for your application; smoke test evidence is available where applicable as part of our documentation packs.

Can your products withstand heavy public use?

Yes. Our products are manufactured with robust frames, heavy gauge materials, and durable finishes designed for high traffic public environments. They are built to maintain performance over thousands of operational cycles.

Do you offer tamper resistant options for public areas?

Yes. We provide locking and tamper resistant options designed specifically for public environments, preventing unauthorised access to service zones while allowing efficient maintenance by authorised teams.

Can you meet network operator specific requirements?

Yes. We work with project teams to meet operator specific standards from organisations such as Network Rail, TfL, and airport authorities. Our technical team reviews the specific requirements and confirms compliant product selections.

What fire ratings are available for transport buildings?

Access panels and riser doors are available with fire ratings from 30 minutes up to 120 minutes, tested. Transport environments often require the higher ratings to support evacuation strategies.

Can you manufacture bespoke solutions for complex infrastructure?

Yes. Non standard openings, unusual substrates, and infrastructure specific constraints are common in transport projects. We manufacture bespoke products to exact dimensions with a typical lead time of 3 to 5 working days.
