P C HENDERSON’S TANGENT ROUND
THE CORNER SPECIFIED FOR UK’S
LONGEST HERITAGE RAILWAY
P C Henderson has recently been specified
for a new build project at the UK’s longest
heritage railway - Ffestiniog and Welsh
Highland Railway. As the oldest independent
railway in the world, Ffestiniog and Welsh
Highland Railway is a major tourist attraction
- taking passengers on a scenic 40 mile journey through the hills
between Blaenau Ffestiniog, Porthmadog harbour and Caernarfon.
Boston Lodge Works is the railway’s main workshop and base for
the daily train service. With over 55 carriages in service, the station
required a storage facility which could house up to 30 carriages
whilst also providing shelter for train cleaning and preparation which
could be done away from the public eye. The project brief included
the need for a robust entrance solution which could provide easy
accessibility to the shed.
Ian Hartill, Project Engineer at Ffestiniog Railway, commented
“The original brief detailed the use of traditional outward opening
hinge doors which we have used in previous projects. However, due
to the coastal location of the building and the possibility of strong
winds, this option was not possible. As a more suitable alternative,
we found P C Henderson’s Tangent Round the Corner which could
comfortably hold the large custom made doors”.

Since fire doors are critical life-saving elements in many buildings,
it is essential that they operate effectively – and the role of door
closers is one not to be taken lightly. Designed to restrict the spread
and initial development of a fire, as well as protect escape routes,
doorsets should provide lasting protection before and even after
a fire evacuation, but this can only occur when the door closer
is installed and working correctly – in other words, ensuring fire
doorsets are properly closed.
