Integrated Access Engineering Solutions by KADRA Installed at Sonaca Aerospace Transilvania

Starting with Innovation in access engineering represents the technologization of space in the sense of enhancing people’s comfort and sense of safety. For more than 30 years, KADRA’s objective has been to offer integrated solutions in the optimal formula so that the beneficiary receives consistency, fluency, customization, and innovation from us. In 2022, the Pitești County Emergency Hospital began an extensive rehabilitation and expansion process to provide better conditions for both medical staff and, especially, patients. With a substantial investment from European funds and the local budget, the hospital aims to modernize and be brought up to today’s standards in modern medicine.

Our company specializes in providing integrated solutions across three business lines: Automatic Access (doors, gates, windows), Parking Management Systems and Smoke Hatches, Skylights and Polycarbonate.

Each KADRA project benefits from the combined contribution of expertise related to: project analysis, solution customization, delivery of the agreed solution, installation, service, and maintenance. By offering integrated services throughout the product’s lifecycle, KADRA becomes a long-term partner for our clients, providing them with a high level of expertise and technological innovation.

One of the most important access engineering projects by KADRA is Sonaca Aerospace Transilvania. This company is a subsidiary of the Belgian group Sonaca SA, a manufacturer of systems for the aerospace industry. The factory opened in Cluj County specializes in the production of components for Airbus aircraft.

In this project, KADRA engineers installed complete access solutions, from automatic barriers, turnstiles, to automatic doors.

Barrier for vehicle access in parking
Full-Height Turnstile for employee access control in the factory
Glazed rapid doors, to protect the interior from weather conditions (for example, when the wind blows) and to be visible to workers when passing with the forklift
Sliding fire-resistant doors, for fire protection and isolation
Swing fire-resistant doors, single- or double-leaf, with multiple accessories, such as: windows, panic bar, closer to ensure self-closing, in accordance with fire protection regulations
Metal doors with ventilation grilles
Industrial sectional doors
Tormed swing doors for offices and restrooms

The beneficiary chose KADRA solutions due to their very high quality: high functionality, reliability/durability over time, customized design that integrates easily into the factory architecture, and superior-quality finishes.

The contractor chose to use KADRA integrated solutions because we have a long-term partnership with them, having completed dozens of projects together before Sonaca, so they have proven, long-standing trust in the quality of the solutions and the professionalism of KADRA engineers and installers.

Since the contractor had previously used KADRA solutions on numerous constructions (both automatic access and parking management systems), they wanted this large-scale project to benefit from solutions at the same superior quality standard for access routes.

The Sonaca factory is intended for the production of aircraft wing and fuselage components, so it needed a complex and highly customized access engineering solution that ensures employee safety and comfort, provides protection in case of fire, and meets heavy traffic flow demands.
