MIRA Technology Park in Nuneaton is globally recognised as a premier destination for mobility and automotive research. In a remarkable achievement, main contractor GMI Construction Group completed the cutting-edge Plot 9 facilities a full five weeks ahead of schedule. Equipping these units required building materials of the absolute highest standard. To provide secure and fire-safe access to the roof, the development team explored Gorter's extensive range of roof hatches. Ultimately, two heavy-duty, fire-rated RHTEI roof hatches were integrated into the design.

Protecting high-value assets with certified fire resistance
For facilities housing multi-million-pound automotive research, uncompromising fire safety is non-negotiable. The specified RHTEI flat roof access hatch serves as a robust, fully certified barrier against the spread of fire. In addition to this vital protection, the hatch boasts a completely thermally broken construction. This intelligent engineering ensures exceptional insulation, preventing condensation and supporting the strict energy performance targets of modern R&D environments.

Dependable access for sustainable technologies
Research buildings typically feature complex climate control systems and renewable energy solutions on their flat roofs. Facility managers need a dependable, safe route to the top—whether it is for servicing HVAC units or ensuring secure roof access for solar panel maintenance. Built to endure extreme conditions and backed by a CE marking, the installed Gorter hatches guarantee absolute safety for any maintenance personnel working atop Plot 9.
