Options that matter on site

Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.

What this work can involve

Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.

Powered door rules that apply in Livingston

Livingston is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

How the work is organised

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
