What we fit in Peebles

Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.
Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.

Powered door rules that apply in Peebles

Peebles 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in the Scottish Borders 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.
