The aluminium hangar is engineered to handle tough conditions. In standard construction, it can withstand a snow load of at least 75 kg/m² and wind gusts of up to 150 km/h. This durable structure can operate reliably in a wide range of temperatures, from a frigid -30°C to a scorching +55°C, and is designed for continuous enduring operations.
Adding to its impressive strength, the aluminium hangar offers an exceptional deployable capability. The structure can be dismantled, repacked, stored, and then re-used multiple times with minimal refurbishment required. This makes it a valuable asset for temporary or relocatable needs.
Frame
The hangar frame is constructed using sturdy aluminium profiles with kedder grooves for the fixation of the tent's inner and outer covers. Galvanized steel bracing cables with high-strength cage tensioners are installed on the roof and side walls to ensure optimal wind stability and prevent lateral movement. Three galvanized steel cables are installed along the hangar‘s full length, providing convenient mounting points for lights, heating/air conditioning diffusion ducts, and other equipment, optimizing space utilization. The hangar is anchored to the ground using steel base plates and pegs or chemical anchors (for concrete platforms). Each structure is designed according to local wind and snow loads, following the Eurocode 1: Actions on structures normative. Static calculations are being designed as per EN 13782:2015 standards, Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures and Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures.
Roof, side walls and peripheral groundsheet
Easy to install thanks to its kedder rims, the outer cover of the hangar is crafted from high-density PVC-coated polyester fabric. This resilient material boasts a filament density of 1100 dtex and a weight of 0.65 kg/m², ensuring exceptional weather resistance, high tear resistance and tensile strength. It effectively shields the hangar from the elements, being waterproof with anti-microbial properties and able to withstand extreme temperatures. Additionally, it is fire retardant, self-extinguishing, and resistant to cleaning chemicals. To further enhance its longevity, the outer coating is UV resistant.
All cover sections are seamlessly joined using high-frequency welding, ensuring an impenetrable barrier against water ingress. This effective approach extends at ground level, where a peripheral groundsheet provides an additional layer of protection against water penetration.
The hangars are safe and simple to erect and dismantle by experienced personnel, or after having received introductory training for this system. Robust and sturdy, they require limited maintenance and can be serviced using basic tools.
