Options that matter on site
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
What this work can involve
- Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
- Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
- Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Grays?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
