Airplane hangars built to last.
If there is one thing metal buildings are made for it’s to house airplanes. In the most traditional sense, this is an industry where Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings (PEMBs) are most recognizable. The construction of wide clear spans with no columns at the center of the building provide adaptability of exterior architecture for commercial and personal use hangars.
We’ve worked with a variety of aviation clients to build airplane hangars that protect aviation assets from the elements.
Here are examples of our projects in the aviation space.
Truckee Airport Hangars N and P (TRK Hangars) $1.6 million, 44,000 square feet
As part of the Truckee Tahoe Airport expansion project, Hangars N and P consist of a combined 44,000 square feet of conditioned hangar space for both personal plane and glider storage. The two identical hangars are 21,952 square feet each and were constructed using pre-engineered metal building framing with insulated metal roof and wall panels. The hangar features Schweiss bi-folding hangar doors for seamless access. Due to the large snow loads in Truckee, CA during the winter season, this hangar was constructed with a creative design so the hangar could accommodate large snow loads while still maintaining the 18’ clear height needed for planes.
EVA Flight Training Academy Hangar $200,000, 17,430 square feet
Home to the EVA Flight Training Academy, this 17,430 square foot hangar assists in training the next wave of pilots for the airline with a spacious maintenance training center and classroom. The Hanger was constructed with a pre-engineered metal building framing, insulated metal wall panels, and standing seam roof panels. The special pre-engineered metal building framing was utilized to eliminate interior columns, which allows planes to come and go with less obstructions. Two Norco Floating Hangar Doors were utilized to allow for seamless access in and out of the hangar.
