Case Study: Aberdeen Football Club

Aberdeen Football Club, situated in the heart of Aberdeen, Scotland, is not just a football club; it’s an institution that has played a vital role in the local community for over a century. Like many sports facilities located near water bodies, the club faces the constant threat of flooding. In response to this challenge, the management of Aberdeen Football Club sought a solution that would provide robust flood protection without compromising the aesthetic appeal of the premises. The solution came in the form of StormMeister flood doors.

Challenges:

Preservation of Aesthetics: Aberdeen Football Club’s management was keen to maintain the historical charm and original aesthetics of the facility. Any flood protection system needed to blend seamlessly with the existing architectural features.
Wheelchair Accessibility: Accessibility is a key concern for public buildings, and the club wanted to ensure that the flood doors they installed were compliant with Part M standards, providing wheelchair accessibility.

Our Solution:

StormMeister was tasked with providing a flood protection solution that would seamlessly integrate with the club’s unique aesthetic requirements. The solution needed to balance aesthetics with functionality and accessibility. The project involved installing seven StormMeister flood doors, each custom-made to match the look of the original doors and color-finished in the club’s signature colors.

Key Features of the Solution:

Custom Design: StormMeister designed and manufactured flood doors that were tailored to the club’s exact specifications. The doors were crafted to replicate the appearance of the original doors, ensuring they seamlessly blended with the historic architecture.
Emergency Exit Crash Bars: To enhance safety and compliance, the installation included doors with emergency exit crash bars. This feature ensures that even in emergency situations, quick and safe exits are available.
Wheelchair Accessibility: In adherence to Part M standards, the project included a mix of low threshold flood doors that were fully wheelchair accessible. This not only improved accessibility but also added an extra layer of versatility to the flood protection system.

Outcome:

The installation of StormMeister flood doors at Aberdeen Football Club was a resounding success. The flood doors not only provided robust flood protection but also seamlessly preserved the heritage and aesthetics of the facility. The club’s management now has a flood protection system in place that can effectively safeguard the premises without compromising its historical charm.

This project is a testament to StormMeister’s ability to tailor flood protection solutions to meet the unique needs of its clients. In the beautiful city of Aberdeen, the iconic Aberdeen Football Club can now enjoy the safety and security of flood protection while continuing to serve its community with pride.

The successful completion of the project was another step in StormMeister’s mission to protect properties, preserve heritage, and ensure accessibility for all.
