Inflite Ltd wanted to increase the size of the hangar doors to enable larger aircraft to be maintained and repaired within the hangar. We designed, supplied and erected the steelwork and insulated cladding for the door housing as well as the hangar door itself.
The door housing is 42 metres wide, 2 metres long and 12.5 metres high to offer clear door truss height to suit a 11.85 metre door.The hangar doors have six slabs on three tracks, giving an entrance 38 metres wide, each door slab being electrically operated. There are also 4.5 metre outriggers on either side.
