Hangar and large-span doors in Witham

What to specify

Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.

Typical scopes of work

Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Witham?

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

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.
