Options for hangar and large-span doors in Farnham

Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Refurbishment. Sound but tired doors can be brought back with new running gear, drives and safety devices.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.

What this work can involve

Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Farnham?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

How the work is organised

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
