What we fit in Thornaby-on-Tees

Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.

What this work can involve

Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.

Powered door rules that apply in Thornaby-on-Tees

Thornaby-on-Tees is in England, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in North Yorkshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
