Chilean Air Force

Iquique, Chile
REIDsteel constructed two aircraft maintenance hangars in Iquique, Chile, for use by the Chilean Air Force.

The first hangars spans 42m x 37m, and has a clear height of 9m, whilst the other hangar is slightly smaller, measuring 26m x 34m x 8.5m. The hangars have curved roofs, with offices on one side, and a raised floor on the other. They are designed to withstand wind speeds up to 150km/hr.

The hangar doors were manufactured by REIDsteel, and have 0.3m outriggers on either side to allow maximum clear entry. The doors are manually operated, which is an advantage in remote regions where the electricity supply is not reliable, and the doors are not too wide.

REIDsteel provided all the accessories, including personnel doors, cast in-situ floors, staircases and roller-shutter doors.
