BGS Glasgow was contacted by the Sulzer service centre in Falkirk to address issues with their existing sectional overhead doors. These doors had become unreliable, frequently breaking down and causing operational downtime at one of the major access points at the facility.
Job Brief: Roller Shutter Door Installation at Sulzer, Falkirk
The BGS team were asked to assess the condition of the existing sectional overhead doors and recommend the most appropriate solution. The existing doors were regularly failing and causing disruptions, the team determined they were beyond repair and needed replacing. Additionally, the client was concerned that the existing doors did not allow the headroom required for the panned upgrades to the crane system on site.

The Challenge
The first challenge was to identify the most suitable door system that would meet the client’s requirements for reliable operation and increased headroom. The size of the doors also posed a significant challenge; this meant that the installation had to be meticulously planned and executed to ensure a smooth transition without causing disruption to the site’s operations. Lastly, the engineers had to make sure the site was secure during the removal and installation process.
The Solution
The BGS engineers approached the project with precision and professionalism. They successfully removed the old sectional overhead doors and installed two new industrial-grade roller shutters. These new doors not only resolved the frequent breakdown issues but also provided the much-needed headroom for the crane system expansion. Maintaining site security required careful coordination and extended working hours to ensure that the building was never left unsecured, maintaining the integrity and safety of the facility throughout the project.
Sulzer was highly impressed with the outcome and the dedication shown by the BGS team.
