Aircraft Hangars at Astron
From as early as 1988, our first experience “at our home” (in Findel, Luxembourg), we’ve built over 40 projects at airports in 14 countries, from Algeria to Iceland, La Réunion Island and Hong-Kong, most of which host aircrafts of various sizes.
These colourful hangars are yet another example:
S7 Airlines is the largest private airline in Russia, with the most modern fleet in the Russian air transit market. They have an extensive network of routes which allows passengers to travel to 181 cities in 26 countries across the world.
S7 airlines decided to build three new aircraft hangars to store their helicopters, Cessna and Epic aircraft. Astron and Russian Builder Partner Stinerzhiproektstroy were entrusted with the construction of the aircraft hangars. It was the visit to the Astron plant in Yaroslavl that convinced the customer.
The new hangars have an area of 1,300 m² each. They have a length of 25 metres and a width of 52 metres. The interior has been designed without any disturbing intermediate columns and this facilitates the parking of the aircraft. The front doors can be opened so that the aircraft can easily enter
Walls and roofs are made in S7 corporate colors, including the LMR600 roof.
This aircraft hangar building demonstrates the flexibility of the Astron building system. Not only are storage buildings and production halls possible, but also unconventional projects like hangars. The Astron building solution for aircraft hangars offers several advantages:
• Large span and high clear space inside for the largest jumbo jets
• End-wall central recess feature for the tailfin as an option
• Partnerships for tall rolling doors
• Deflections within tolerances due to pre-camber and truss’ rigidity
• Fittings for high snow loads
• Suspended maintenance cranes or platforms possible
• “Progressive-collapse-design” possible when required
Technical parameters:
• Surface: 3 hangars of 1,300 m²
• Dimensions: 25 x 52 x 5.5 m (clear height)
• Frame: single-span AL (single-pitched roof, slope 6%)
• Mezzanine: Inodek
• Roof system: water-tight standing seam roof LMR600
• Wall system: LPA900 with 100 mm insulation
