Hangar and large-span doors in Elgin

Quick answer

Large openings at sites in Elgin (IV30) need doors engineered for wind, weight and structure. We specify the running gear, drives and safety devices to suit, then install and commission the complete door.

Town: Elgin
Postcode district: IV30
Area: Highlands and Islands
Survey: By arrangement

What to specify

Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
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.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.

Powered door rules that apply in Elgin

Elgin 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.
