Calculating the best design for your hangar . . .

REIDsteel design and build steel hangars in a number of different styles and methods that go beyond the basics of making sure it looks good and is suitable for the type of aircraft it will house. We look at the value engineering options, the best way of adding offices & workshops (if required) to the structure, and the hangar operating & maintenance costs. We also look at the geographical location, for factors that could determine the design solution such as maximum wind speed and annual rainfall figures.

Making a Successful Hangar – Part 1

These are just some of our considerations for making a successful hangar:

Types and numbers of aircraft
Main hangar door opening span and height
Type of usage: Commercial, Private Jet, FBO, maintenance, military etc
Budget and timescales
Most efficient and/or attractive type of frame construction:portal, tied portal, segmental tied portal, spine truss. More information
Most efficent and/or attractive type of cladding
Hangar maintenance costs
Structural and staff benefits of adding office/workshops
Unusual loads such as underslung cranes and teleplatforms
Site restrictions to height, width or depth
Environmental factors such as maximum wind speeds, rainfall and snow
Temperature extremes and/or ventilation
Earthquake resistance
