Steel Aircraft MRO Hangar Buildings by Maverick

Steel Aircraft Hangar Designs for MRO Operations

Aircraft service benefits from long, column-free bays, resistant materials, and predictable erection schedules. Steel frames deliver the clear spans and eave heights needed for diverse fleets while keeping interior layouts flexible for airframe, engine, avionics, paint prep, and parts storage. These steel buildings make for great aircraft storage and always abide by local building codes.

Door Systems, Clearances, and Hangar Layout

Door selection is central to MRO performance. Bi-fold and hydraulic hangar doors each offer advantages depending on opening size, wind exposure, and maintenance preferences. Coordinate clear opening width/height, header depth, and lateral bracing so the chosen door system works smoothly with your frames. Consider translucent panels for daylight and weather seals at the perimeter to maintain interior conditions.

Inside, separate shop bays from aircraft parking and tug lanes. Provide parts mezzanines, tool cribs, and secured cages along perimeter walls to keep the floor clear. Position offices, training rooms, and break areas with sightlines to the flight line while preserving egress routes and cross-aisles.

Cranes, Slabs, and Apron Coordination for MRO Hangars

Many MRO facilities benefit from bridge cranes, jib cranes, or roof-mounted hoists for engine changes and component swaps. Plan runway locations, hook height, and bracing early so doors, lighting, and HVAC don’t conflict with crane envelopes. Protect columns, frames, and door jambs with bollards and guardrail where tows and tugs operate.

Maverick’s foundation drawings help align interior slabs, trench drains, and anchor locations with the steel package. At the airside, coordinate the apron, tie-downs, and grading so towing transitions are smooth and drainage doesn’t back toward the door opening.

Fire, Life Safety, and Environmental Protection

Large-area aircraft hangar maintenance bays require careful coordination of fire suppression (including foam systems where specified), ventilation, and spill containment. Reserve roof and platform zones for exhaust, makeup air, and future capacity. Maintain clear access to electrical rooms and emergency equipment throughout the hangar.

Specify durable finishes suitable for frequent cleaning and chemical exposure. Consider insulation and vapor control appropriate to your climate to manage condensation on large door assemblies and roof areas. Façade options and color selections allow the hangar to match airport standards and branding.

Airside environments are harsh. Specify coatings that resist jet blast, de-icing chemicals, and salt air where applicable. Insulation and vapor strategies reduce condensation at large door headers and help keep maintenance areas comfortable. Weather seals and trench drainage at the door opening reduce FOD and water intrusion during storms.

MRO Hangar Cost, Schedule, and From-Concept-to-Turnover Support

Span, door type, eave height, and local code loads drive pricing. Early door and crane decisions shorten design cycles. Maverick’s short drawing turnaround and included foundation drawings keep engineering, permitting, and trades coordinated from the start for your steel aircraft hangars.

We begin with fleet mixes and door clearances, then lock the lateral system and roof profile around wind and snow loads at your ZIP. With foundation drawings included and fast submittals, concrete and steel can coordinate anchor bolts and door embeds early so the project stays aligned all the way to occupancy.

Coordinating Your Aircraft Hangar With Airports and Authorities

Airport projects add stakeholders – operations, ARFF, and planning. We develop drawings for every steel hangar that speaks clearly to each, from clear zone considerations at the airside to vehicle access at the landside. We can also align the shell with tenant improvement packages for offices and shops so trades aren’t stepping on each other once steel is up.

Lighting, Human Performance, and Long-Term Adaptability

Good lighting levels and color rendering support inspection and precision work. We’ll position fixtures to avoid glare at reflective fuselages and integrate task lighting over benches and bays. Durable floor coatings, tactile wayfinding, and robust sound absorption around maintenance hangars contribute to safer, calmer work environments – especially during off-hours maintenance windows.

Fleets evolve; aircraft maintenance changes and interiors should, too. With clear-span steel, you can re-stripe parking, move mezzanines, and reconfigure shops as aircraft types and service contracts change. Door leafs and hardware can be serviced or upgraded without re-framing the whole building.
