Having recently celebrated its 30th Anniversary BID Group are continuing to grow at a steady rate and supply their high speed doors throughout the country. The latest installation took place for Billingham based electrical supplier; Northern Powergrid.
Northern Powergrid supply electricity to around 8 million people in the northeast of England and operate from numerous sites in the area. The latest installation took place at one of their newer units which is used for the storage and distribution of parts to help keep the network operational.
Back in 2009 Northern Powergrid first explored the possibility of using High Speed Doors on their external openings as an extra barrier against people entering the buildings and to speed up the process of transporting goods in and out. Initially a tender was sent out requesting three separate quotes and even though three quotes were received, all of which from well known companies who supply quality products the quote from Klimate was chosen on both price and added value offered. Speaking to James Davison; Store & Warehouse Manager for Northern Powergrid it seems that it was the right choice;
“We had to get three separate quotes from the outset but we are that happy with both the product and the service we receive from BID and the Klimate Doors that they will be our first choice for any future installations. I have personally found the whole process from initial quote to final commissioning very easy and straight forward”.
The doors are currently operated by induction loops which have been cut into the ground for speed of access and to prevent people from opening the doors when on foot. However, the possibility is there in the future to change the method of actuation to fobs mounted to the fork lift trucks for added security should the requirement occur, thus is the benefit of the completely bespoke doors that Klimate produce.
Over the coming year there are plans for further expansion with a possible two new sites being added to network that already exists. These new sites will also have the need for high speed doors which of course BID would be happy to assist with.
