Half-height platform screen doors to be assessed on a case-by-case basis<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Half-height platform screen doors are a viable solution for certain metro and rail environments, particularly where integration constraints or the specific characteristics of the project warrant it.<\/p>\n

However, the decision to opt for a half-height PSD must be assessed in the light of the technical, regulatory and operational requirements specific to each project.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Let\u2019s talk about your project<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\n

A bespoke design<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

At a height of approximately 1.70 m, half-height PSD offer a different configuration to full-height PSD and require a design tailored to their surroundings.<\/p>\n

The absence of a technical beam necessitates a specific mechanical design. The solution is therefore not necessarily a simplified or less expensive alternative to a full-height platform screen door.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\"Half-height<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\n

A solution that needs to be considered in the context of the standards<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The design of a platform screen door must now comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to the rail sector, in particular standard EN 17168.<\/p>\n

For a mid-height solution, these requirements may necessitate adapting or reinforcing the initial design. A thorough analysis is therefore required from the earliest stages of the project in order to ensure the installation\u2019s compliance and performance.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

A cost to be taken into account over the entire life cycle<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The choice of a platform fronting system is not based solely on its purchase price. Operating, maintenance and replacement requirements must also be taken into account.<\/p>\n

The added complexity of a half-height solution can affect its total cost. A comparison across the entire life cycle therefore helps to identify the most suitable solution for each project.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

OUR RECOMMENDATION: A solution that exists, but is not necessarily the MOST SUITABLE<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Portalp Railway has the expertise and know-how to develop a half-height platform screen door solution tailored to a client\u2019s specific requirements.<\/p>\n

For projects seeking a standardised, tried-and-tested solution that is optimised for operation and maintenance, full-height PSD are now a particularly suitable option.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Every transport project has its own constraints. Whilst half-height platform screen doors may meet certain specific requirements, full-height doors offer a solution that is particularly well-suited to projects seeking standardisation, robustness and control over the total cost of ownership. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
