Options that matter on site
- Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Runcorn?
In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Cheshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
