What to specify
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Drives and controls. Electric drives per leaf or central, with manual or emergency operation.
- Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Typical scopes of work
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Chippenham?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Chippenham can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
