Steel Structure Hangar

Aircraft Hangars Engineered Around Clearance and Access.

Custom steel hangars planned around aircraft type, tail height, clear door opening, maintenance workflow and local design conditions—then fabricated and prepared for international delivery.

Hangar Applications

A Building System That Starts with the Aircraft.

A useful hangar proposal begins with the aircraft envelope and how the building will operate. Wingspan, tail height, door movement, towing routes and maintenance zones shape the structure before the first member is detailed.

01Aircraft Storage

Clear manoeuvring space, weather protection and practical apron access.

02Maintenance and MRO

Service bays, equipment zones, lighting and overhead clearance.

03Flight Operations

Fast aircraft access with coordinated office and support areas.

Working aircraft maintenance hangar with technicians and service equipment

Hangar Configurations

Choose the Layout That Fits the Fleet and Mission.

These are starting arrangements. Span, height, door system and support spaces are developed around the aircraft, site and operating brief.

Compact clear-span aircraft hangar with a wide sliding door

Best for flexible aircraft storage

Clear-Span Private Hangar

An unobstructed floor for private aircraft storage, towing and flexible positioning.

Best for multiple aircraft

Multi-Bay Aircraft Hangar

Separated or shared bays for a larger fleet, tenants or phased operations.

Aircraft hangar interior with an integrated workshop mezzanine

Best for integrated maintenance

Hangar with Workshop Mezzanine

Aircraft floor space combined with parts storage, workshop or office support.

Insulated aircraft hangar in a coastal airport environment

Best for harsh climates

Insulated Coastal Hangar

A coordinated envelope and protection system for exposed or controlled environments.

Wide-span steel aircraft hangar frame under construction

Supply Scope

Coordinate the Frame, Door and Support Spaces.

The proposal defines the core hangar package and each aircraft-access interface, so the structure, envelope, door supplier and site team work from one agreed boundary.

Core Hangar Package

H-section columns, rafters and connection plates C/Z purlins, girts and structural bracing Door header, side columns and opening coordination Roof and wall cladding with trims and drainage Member marks, packing lists and erection drawings

Project Options

Sliding, bi-fold or hydraulic door interfaces Insulated roof and wall envelope systems Workshop, office, storage or mezzanine areas Ventilation, fire-safety and daylight openings Canopies, service doors and apron interfaces

Engineering Inputs

Specifications Begin with the Aircraft Envelope.

Final sections and door-support details depend on confirmed aircraft data, site criteria and operating requirements. These decisions shape the initial proposal.

Aircraft data	Type, quantity, wingspan, length and tail height
Clear opening	Width and height coordinated with aircraft movement
Structural system	Clear-span portal frame or multi-bay arrangement
Design basis	Applicable code, wind, snow and seismic requirements
Steel grade	Q235/Q355 or project-specified equivalent
Primary structure	Welded or rolled H-section steel members
Secondary structure	C/Z purlins, girts and bracing system
Envelope and finish	Sheet or sandwich panel; paint or galvanizing by exposure

Hangar Reference Configuration

Wide Aircraft Access with an Integrated Service Annex.

This reference arrangement combines a clear-span aircraft floor, a full-width sliding door and a separate side annex for storage, staff or maintenance support. Final dimensions follow the selected aircraft and site.

Project Delivery

From Aircraft Brief to Marked Steel Package.

Each stage confirms aircraft clearance, door movement and support-space interfaces before the next one begins.

Define the Aircraft Envelope

Confirm aircraft dimensions, quantity, movement, maintenance and support areas.

Engineer Span and Access

Develop the clear span, door support, loads, envelope and site interfaces.

Fabricate and Verify

Produce marked steelwork and inspect connections, dimensions and finish.

Pack for Assembly

Sequence components with packing records, drawings and erection guidance.

Coordinated InterfacesStructure, envelope and operating requirements reviewed together

Defined Inspection PointsMaterials, welding, dimensions and finish checked by agreed scope

Installation-Led PackingMarked members, packing lists and erection information

Hangar FAQ

Questions That Shape a Useful Hangar Proposal.

Early answers help define the span, door system, support spaces and information required for engineering review.

What information is needed for a hangar quotation?+

Start with the project country, aircraft type and quantity, approximate building dimensions and required door opening. Aircraft drawings, apron position, maintenance activities and future fleet plans help define a more useful scope.

Which hangar door systems can be coordinated?+

Sliding, bi-fold and hydraulic door systems can be considered. The selection affects the clear opening, structural reactions, weather sealing, operating space and supplier interface, so it should be identified early.

Can the hangar floor remain free of internal columns?+

Yes. Clear-span portal or truss systems can keep the aircraft floor unobstructed. The suitable scheme depends on span, height, local loads, door opening and transport constraints.

Can workshops, offices or mezzanines be included?+

They can be integrated along a sidewall or end wall when access, loads, fire separation and services are defined. Early coordination protects the aircraft clear zone and avoids later frame changes.

How is a coastal hangar protected?+

Coating or galvanizing, fasteners, cladding and sealants are selected around the corrosion category and exposure. The project environment must be confirmed before the final protection system is specified.

What is included in the supplied hangar package?+

The agreed package can include primary and secondary steel, roof and wall systems, door-support steel, accessories, member marks, packing lists and erection information. Door equipment and other options are stated clearly in the quotation.
