MAAS Aviation Dual Bay Hangar

Mobile, Alabama

Delivering a dual bay hangar with advanced structural systems and LEED Gold certification

Project Overview

JESCO served as the design-build contractor for a Dual Bay Hangar expansion for MAAS Aviation on the Airbus campus in Mobile, Alabama. The project included full infrastructure site work with utility connections and an aircraft apron tied into the existing taxi lane. The hangar itself is a 150-foot clear span, steel-framed structure with a minimum 31-foot ceiling height over the fuselage and wings, rising to nearly 48 feet at the tail section. Features include two-leaf, motor-operated bi-parting hangar doors with a motorized RSST coiling tail door, as well as energy-efficient exterior materials such as insulated metal wall panels and a mechanically fastened TPO roofing system. Designed to meet the highest environmental standards, the project is targeting LEED Gold Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

Impact
Challenges and Solutions

Constructing a large-span, specialized aircraft facility required careful structural planning and integration of advanced MEP systems. JESCO ensured the hangar’s clear-span steel trusses, ventilation tunnels, and safety systems met the operational and regulatory needs for aircraft painting while maintaining worker safety and workflow efficiency.
