Hangar and large-span doors in Inverness

The short version

Hangar and large-span doors for aviation, rail, marine and heavy plant buildings in Inverness. We survey the opening and the structure, then design a door for its size and wind exposure before giving a fixed price.

Town: Inverness
Postcode district: IV2
Area: Highlands and Islands
Survey: By arrangement

What to specify

Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
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.
Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.

Jobs we can carry out

Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
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 Inverness

Inverness 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

Most installations in Inverness can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
