Key Features:

  • Additional four spaces for aircraft
  • Added a taxilane to serve the new hangar units
  • Hangars are insulated to help control condensation and provide some level of
    heat retainment

Key Experience:

  • Drainage was a concern as the area is generally flat
  • Maintaining acceptable airport/aircraft design grades on taxilanes was accomplished
  • Construction phasing limited disruptions to other airfield/aircraft operations

Airport Box Hangar

Hangar space at the airport is in high demand. The hangar provides four additional units for aircraft. The hangar units have concrete floors, the walls and ceilings are insulated and the interior walls are skinned with tin sheeting to help protect the fragile insulation.

The asphalt taxilane associated with the new hangar provides access to the existing apron and ultimately to the rest of the airfield pavements. The location of the new hangar allows users/tenants to access the hangar units from the back side without entering the airport operations area.
