BLE fire and smoke curtains are distributed around the world by reliable and trusted international contractors, many of whom have worked with BLE for years. So, when the distributor in Thailand, Dilok Rodmorn, was asked to develop the smoke and fire safety system for the new Thai Royal Mint, the company brought in engineers from BLE Fire and Smoke Curtains - manufacturers of the most trusted and reliable fire equipment in the world.
BLE worked alongside Dilok Rodmorn from Practical Edge to develop the sophisticated fire and smoke safety system required by the insurance companies and the Thai government. The system included the installation of 14 huge automatic fire curtains that formed a barrier around the entire internal perimeter of the building to protect the equipment and machinery.
The Thai Royal Mint is one of the most important financial institutions in the country. Not only is it responsible for producing currency, it also manufactures commemorative coins and medals,
royal orders, plaques and other metal art objects. In addition, the Mint installs and repairs safes, security doors and strong rooms for government agencies throughout Thailand.
The construction of the new Mint began in 1996 to replace the old building which was old, in poor
condition and far too small. The new mint, the fifth in Thai history, was completed in 2001 on a site of 50.4 acres and with the capacity to produce 1,000 million coins per year.
The prestige of providing the smoke and fire system for the Thai Royal Mint led to much greater market presence for Practical Edge. They have since worked on other significant projects across Asia, all in conjunction with BLE Smoke and Fire Curtains.
