Step 1: Forward-Looking Planning and Precision Design A successful hangar begins with meticulous design. At this stage, functionality, safety, and potential future expansion are the core considerations of the design. Hangar Type Positioning:Clarify whether your hangar is intended for general aviation, private aircraft management, MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul), or as a commercial aviation base. This directly determines the hangar's span, clear height, and layout. Structural Selection and Calculation: Employ large-span steel structure designs, such as portal frames or space frame structures, to create expansive column-free interiors, facilitating flexible aircraft movement. Load calculations must be precise, thoroughly accounting for wind loads, snow loads, dead loads, and live loads to ensure absolute structural safety. Smart Integration:During the design phase, it is essential to plan for lighting systems, firefighting systems (such as foam suppression systems), surveillance and security, as well as utility conduits.
Step 2: Core Structure - Forging Exceptional Steel Framework The steel structure serves as the skeleton and load-bearing framework of the aircraft hangar, and its quality directly determines the building's lifespan and performance. Material Selection:Use high-strength, low-alloy steel with excellent tensile strength and durability. All steel components must undergo strict anti-corrosion treatment (such as hot-dip galvanizing) and fire-resistant coating to withstand harsh weather conditions and meet fire safety regulations. Fabrication and Installation:Rely on specialized heavy steel structure manufacturing processes to ensure component precision. During construction, the lifting and installation of the steel structure must be carried out by an experienced team to guarantee the accurate alignment of beams and columns and the overall stability of the system. Enclosure System:Choose high-quality profiled steel sheets or sandwich panels for walls and roofing. In coastal areas, aluminum panels should be considered to resist corrosion from sea breezes. Combined with insulation wool, this forms an effective building envelope system, providing thermal insulation, heat resistance, and soundproofing for the hangar interior.
Step 3: Integration of Functional Systems and High-End Support Facilities A modern hangar is an intelligent manifestation of its internal systems. Door Systems:As the "face" of the hangar, the hangar doors are critical. Options include sliding doors, folding doors, or lift-up doors, ensuring smooth operation, effective sealing, and the ability to withstand strong winds. Internal Facilities:Plan the apron and docking guidance systems, and equip the hangar with large maintenance platforms and aircraft docks to facilitate aircraft servicing. Efficient ventilation systems and daylighting designs (such as the use of light-transmitting panels) can significantly improve the working environment and reduce energy consumption. Sustainable Development:Integrate distributed photovoltaic power generation systems on the roof, utilizing the vast roof area to generate green electricity. This achieves energy self-sufficiency and reduces operational costs.
