Shanghai Tower | dormakaba automatic door, swing door, revolving door, door closer, floor spring project case

Cities embody the great vitality of our era, and buildings are undoubtedly among the most important landmarks showing a city's charm and dynamism. As we marvel at how the city's height is constantly pushed higher with each new super-tall skyscraper, we are also amazed by the ** views they bring - scenes both familiar and new.
       Today, in the heart of Lujiazui, Pudong - the Magic ** - the Shanghai Tower has surpassed the Shanghai World Financial Center to become the new tallest point of the city. With a total height of 632 meters and a 120-degree spiral form rising upward, the facade twists continuously from the base to the top skyline. The building has 121 floors, divided vertically into 9 zones, including retail at the base, offices in the middle, and a hotel, cultural facilities and observation deck at the top. Visitors will one day ride a high-speed elevator directly from B2 to the 118th floor, reaching the observation deck in just over a minute at 18 m/s for a bird's-eye view of Shanghai.

 
       The Shanghai Tower is also a super-large project reference for the dormakaba brand in China: it uses 53 dormakaba revolving doors, 740 door closers, 2017 floor springs, 137 sets of swing doors, 153 sets of automatic doors, 2018 sets of door hardware and 203 sets of electronic door control products. Behind these remarkable numbers lies the total dedication of the dormakaba team, fearlessly taking on challenges and turning the impossible into reality again and again.
       The building's escape routes contain several extra-high, extra-wide fire doors. In the early design stage, choosing door closers for these giant fire doors - 1.9 m wide and 3.6 m high - stumped the Shanghai Tower designers, as it seemed far beyond the installation limits of standard door closers. But the dormakaba hardware **s made it reality. With support from the German headquarters engineering team, and after dozens of theoretical calculations and repeated installation demonstrations, a tandem door closer solution **ly solved the opening and closing of these fire doors.
 
 

       A series of extra-high custom revolving doors also effectively separate the building's interior and exterior spaces thanks to their excellent sealing. Combined with the ultra-clear glass curtain wall and indoor air-conditioning system, they create a constant-temperature interior that stays warm in winter and cool in summer. These products have earned an outstanding reputation and helped the Shanghai Tower win LEED Gold (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.
