Designed for a fleet of two Avro RJ85 and four Saab 340B aircraft, this is a 50m clear span hangar with two storey office, stores and workshops on three sides.REIDsteel fabricated, designed, and shipped all the steelwork which, with the cladding and essential insulation material, filled more than twenty shipping containers.
We also supplied the large Eznis company logo which features on the front and back of the hangar, and supervised all the hangar erection and construction before the winter set in.
The centre two door leaves feature an inflatable fuselage sealing ring hidden behind two smaller outer doors. With these two smaller doors open the nose of an Avro RJ85 aircraft can be inserted so that it can be worked on from inside the hangar with the majority of the aircraft remaining outside. The inflatable seals are a bespoke design for the aircraft to ensure a perfect seal against the weather.
