Hangar and large-span doors in Newcastle upon Tyne

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

What to specify

Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Multi-leaf sliding. Classic hangar doors with leaves that slide on parallel tracks and stack clear of the opening.

Jobs we can carry out

Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.
Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.

Powered door rules that apply in Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle upon Tyne 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.

How the work is organised
