Aviation Hangars
Specialized steel erection for private, commercial, and maintenance hangars.
Clear Spans and Massive Doors
Aviation hangars present unique structural challenges. The necessity of a massive, uninterrupted door opening requires heavy steel headers and precise column placement. MCMW understands the specific requirements of hangar erection.
Hangar Expertise
- Bi-fold and Hydraulic Door Openings: Header and jamb requirements are coordinated with the project drawings and door-system details.
- Wide Clear Spans: Safe rigging and erection of long rafter segments to provide unobstructed interior space.
- T-Hangars and Box Hangars: From single-engine private storage to multi-jet corporate facilities.
Hangar erection scope is reviewed against the building package, large-opening requirements, access, equipment needs, and project sequencing.
Hangar Project Readiness
Useful review documents include the engineered building drawings, hangar-door supplier details, foundation and anchor information, delivery schedule, crane and lift access, roof and wall systems, insulation requirements, and coordination points with the door installer. Door equipment, controls, foundations, utilities, and aviation systems are excluded unless specifically contracted.
MCMW considers hangar work in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho when scope and mobilization align.
