KADRA Provided the Access Solution for the most Modern Office Building in Cluj

A spectacular office building has emerged in the center of Cluj, built by the German group Bosch on the former Flacăra industrial platform, and KADRA participated in this avant-garde project by offering solutions for the main access to the building. KADRA teams also handled the fire-resistant door system and parking management.

Manual Revolving Doors for Reduced Energy Consumption in a "Green" Building

The door is the calling card of any building, and when we talk about one of the most modern office buildings in the heart of Cluj, attention to the access area is even more important.

KADRA teams worked closely with the architect of the Bosch Engineering Center Cluj building to identify the best option to allow a large number of people to enter the building quickly and safely. Additionally, since we are talking about a “green” building that aims to minimize energy consumption, the beneficiary preferred a manual door operation solution. Thus, for access to the Bosch Engineering Center Cluj, two manual revolving doors with four wings, entirely made of glass with a transparent ceiling to allow as much natural light as possible to enter the building, were installed.

Besides functionality and aesthetic appearance, the KADRA solution also means reliability in operation and ultra-quiet functioning.

Reliable Fire Door System for Employee Safety

The ultra-modern exterior corresponds to an interior space adhering to the same standards, where additional care for employee safety is evident. Bosch Engineering Center Cluj is equipped with a system of 50 emergency evacuation doors, fire-resistant doors that can optimally ensure the evacuation of smoke and people from the building.

Smart Parking

Being an office building in the center of one of the most crowded cities in Romania, the parking accommodating 120 vehicles was essential for the comfort of Bosch employees and partners.

Parkomatic teams installed a vehicle access control system based on license plate recognition. Visitors who have not yet enrolled their license plate in the system can call (via the intercom installed at the entrance terminal) the reception, which will grant them access to the parking.

In addition to the license plate reading system, Bosch readers for building access cards were installed at the entry/exit terminals as a backup solution for barrier management.

The entire installation process also involved finding an innovative solution to replace inductive loops with special detection sensors. Why: the access paths are cobblestone, and the aim was to avoid additional work (removing cobblestone, concreting, installing inductive loops, repositioning cobblestone).

Sensors were mounted on the barrier bodies and have the ability to differentiate between people and vehicles, so a pedestrian will not be able to keep the barrier raised if they stop in front of it, nor will they be able to activate the LPR camera. This solution (with sensors instead of inductive loops) was chosen because the access paths are cobblestone, thus avoiding additional work (removing cobblestone, pouring concrete, installing inductive loops, repositioning cobblestone).

Beyond products and installation, the KADRA team also provided consultancy throughout the project implementation period, trying, alongside the beneficiary, to find the best solutions for a smooth and safe experience for access to the parking perimeter.

Modern and environmentally friendly buildings are increasingly making their way into the landscape, and KADRA specialists are ready with suitable access solutions that meet the most demanding standards.
