aircraft hangars

Do you need more storage space for planes? Do you want to expand your commercial fleet, or do you need an extra facility for servicing your aircraft? We have designed our industrial aircraft hangars specifically for airports and aviation companies looking to grow or expand their maintenance program.

Less soil preparation, lightning-fast installation

Because our aircraft hangars are anchored to the ground with pickets, they do not require foundations. With no preliminary work required in terms of soil and foundation, they can be installed in record time. Where possible, all structural elements are pre-assembled, and all roof coverings are fitted with easy-to-install Kedar edging, which further simplifies installation. It allows our industrial aircraft hangars to be installed quickly, with less construction equipment and fewer people. It’s making our industrial hangars an excellent alternative to traditional buildings.

High-quality materials for a long service life

Our aircraft hangars are designed to last. We have only used high-quality materials, such as anodized aluminum or galvanized steel for the frame elements, double-sided PVC, tarpaulin with a polyester coating, and steel cladding with high resistance. They can usually be used for about thirty years under normal climate conditions. The lifespan can be further extended at a low cost by replacing the roof covering.

Hangars that grow with your space requirements

Unlike traditional custom metal buildings, our industrial aircraft hangars are completely modular, so they can be easily scaled up and down. If you want to get more out of your investment and make optimal use of its long lifespan, you can let the hangar change with your space requirements over the years.

Fully custom designed industrial aircraft hangars

Whatever your space needs, our industrial aircraft hangars are tailor-made by us to meet those needs. There are available in various shapes & sizes and can be fitted with a variety of doors. We also naturally consider the local weather conditions in terms of wind and snow load in the design. Whether you want a temporary or permanent hangar, our storage and maintenance hangars can be made suitable for any aircraft type, from small helicopters to full-sized passenger jets.

We can offer you a suitable solution for the storage and maintenance of your aircraft, and our hangars can be built from different materials. The frames are made of aluminum, steel, or both, making these structures strong enough to withstand the most extreme conditions. Roof coverings can be made from a soft, single, or double PVC coated membrane, single wall steel cladding, or sandwich panels. We calculate all structural elements based on local wind and weather conditions or the required snow load.

Smart adaptations for specific challenges

Based on our experience in the aviation industry, we understand the need for customization and specific solutions. For example, on request, we have supplied ‘nose cone doors,’ which fold upwards in one of our hangars, to facilitate maintenance. T-shaped empennage doors to make optimum use of the internal space in hangars are also possible, as is self-ballast constructions on airport platforms where drilling is not allowed. Please tell us what your challenges are, and we will work with you to find the best possible solution to make optimal use of the available space.

Our work does not disrupt your operation

We have a lot of experience working within airport environments, where many restrictions apply, and interrupting daily flight operations is not an option. We handle this carefully and professionally so that you do not have to adapt your work to ours. Our professionals secretly like such limitations and restrictions because they make the work more exciting and like a challenge.

Additional facilities

We can deliver your new hangar completely turnkey, including additional facilities such as custom doors, windows, insulation, VHAC systems, and so on.

If you need flexibility without sacrificing speed or usability, get in touch with our experts. They are ready to advise you on the best options throughout the process and to guide you.
