The streetcar and bus depot with integrated workshop for repair and maintenance work has space for 70 streetcars and 130 buses. The maintenance and repair facility is the most important of three main sites in the Geneva city transport network. It is intended to support the future expansion of the TPG network at cantonal level. Around half of all municipal streetcars and buses are maintained and repaired on an area of 33,000 square meters. 600 employees will look after the vehicles at this location. A total of 10,700 meters of track with 44 points and eight crossings were required to accommodate the streetcars in the depot.

Efaflex received the order for the doors because of its broad portfolio of oversized high-speed doors, explains a spokesperson for Efaflex Swiss. This subsidiary has been doing business with Geneva's transport operators for many years. The high quality, the different application variants and the robustness of the doors, even with many opening and closing cycles, also tipped the scales in favor of this project.

EFA-SFT for immediate headroom
The entrances to the depot were equipped with EFA-SFT high-speed folding doors. Cut-outs for the contact wire allow the power supply to be routed from the outside to the inside.

Series F doors open at high speeds. This minimizes heat loss in the building. They protect against noise and draughts, save energy and impress with good thermal and sound insulation properties. The patented modular design makes them easy to repair and maintain. Particularly large doors are fitted with special floor stoppers to additionally stabilize the closed leaves in the central area.
