Aviation Buildings

Built for Aviation

Aircraft represent significant investments, and Peace Region weather is hard on equipment left outdoors. Proper hangar facilities protect your aircraft, extend its service life, and make maintenance possible year-round.

KB Construction builds aviation facilities from private hangars to commercial aircraft storage. We understand the unique requirements—large clear spans, proper door systems, and construction that handles our climate.

Aviation Building Types

• Private Hangars: Personal aircraft storage for single or multiple planes.
• Commercial Hangars: Large-scale aircraft storage and maintenance facilities.
• T-Hangars: Multi-unit hangar complexes for airports.
• Maintenance Facilities: Shops with aircraft access and workspace.
• FBO Buildings: Fixed base operator facilities and terminals.
• Support Buildings: Offices, parts storage, and pilot facilities.

Aviation-Specific Requirements

Aviation buildings have unique requirements we account for:

• Clear Span: Open interiors without columns to obstruct aircraft movement.
• Door Systems: Bi-fold, hydraulic, or sliding doors sized for aircraft.
• Floor Design: Reinforced concrete for aircraft weights and wheel loads.
• Heating: Climate control systems for year-round use.
• Fire Protection: Fire suppression and detection systems as required.
• Electrical: Adequate power for tools, lighting, and aircraft systems.

Construction Methods

We build aviation facilities using the method best suited to your requirements:

• Steel Frame: Maximum clear span and durability for larger hangars.
• Post-Frame: Cost-effective option for smaller private hangars.
• Hybrid: Combining methods for optimal performance and cost.
