Door Industry Journal - Spring 2023

BGS have completed an Alpha Deuren Multiple Door Installation for Scania GB Ltd at the Clients’ Busiest Site in the UK Alpha Deuren International and Bolton Gate Services (BGS) have been working together for many years. Some time ago, they jointly delivered and supervised the Scania project. Below you can read about this customer’s journey. Here at BGS, we pride ourselves on providing first-class service to all of our clients. This is why we have partnered with the Novoferm Group of companies. We are proud of this partnership as they hold a track record of excellence and share our core values of protecting people, moving forward, togetherness and trust, customer first and performance promise. Founded in 1955, Novoferm is one of the largest European system suppliers of garage doors, industrial doors and shutters for the private, trade and industrial sectors. At BGS this offers global backing with our local expertise. We have been working in partnership with Alpha Deuren for five years since joining the Novoferm Group. This fourteen multiple-door installation is our largest project to date with the Alpha Deuren product. We have also completed multiple-door installations for our customers at Hull and South Mimms in 2023. The Heathrow project presented challenges for both our client and the installation team, as this is a 24-hour site and the client’s busiest location in the UK. Scania is a world-leading provider of transport solutions, including trucks and buses for heavy transport applications. Working at this site required our engineers, the project manager and the depot manager to work closely with the client to coordinate the project with minimal impact on the customers’ business. From the initial delivery and storage to the disposal of the existing doors, every aspect of the project was carefully considered. Ian North the BGS Managing Director had this to say about the Scania Heathrow installation of the Alpha ALU40mm: “Projects typically like these are where BGS comes into their speciality and expertise working side by side with the client ensuring minimal disruption to the client’s operation. Scania (GB) Ltd has to maintain a 100% service offering ensuring that any vehicle that they service/maintain is done so in a timely manner. Therefore BGS worked with Scania to ensure that any door replacement was done in accordance with a similar timescale ensuring that no vehicle was unnecessarily detained due to access/ingress being denied as a result of the door replacement programme. Meticulous planning with both Scania and BGS avoided this, working alongside a well-planned schedule from delivery and storage to the final commission. Investment in our engineers is what makes the difference. we have a highly skilled team trained to the latest standards and a culture of knowledge sharing so that no matter where you are or whatever the scenario - we always have a solution.” Choosing the Alpha Deuren sectional door was an easy decision, it’s the perfect product for a project of this size. The Alpha design team developed a bespoke design driven by the client’s specification request. The product is also equipped with a GFA drive unit making the package easy for our engineers to install. In industrial environments, where light and visibility are of paramount importance, the Alpha ALU 40 mm sectional door proves to be indispensable. The door panel of an ALU door consists of multiple sections, and thanks to the custom-sized aluminium profiles, frames can be manufactured that have a very wide range of uses. The product can combine transparent, coloured, insulating or air-permeable windows with aluminium cassette panels. The ALU 40 mm sectional doors can be equipped with plastic window frames of various levels of quality and with different insulative values, colours and builds. Coloured glass or hollow-core plates, play with the divisions or combine various ISO panels with the ALU sections for a great result. Thanks to the plethora of design and application options, the ALU 40mm sectional door is particularly useful if you want to combine an attractive design with optimal light transmittance.
