What to specify

Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.

What this work can involve

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

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Penarth are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

How the work is organised

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
