Civil Aviation: Galway Airport, Ireland

New hangar - door installation

nnnn

Galway Airport adds two new hangars

nnnn

for regional aviation

nnnn

Galway Airport is an important hub connect-

nnnn

ing western Ireland with the rest of the coun-

nnnn

try and Europe. To provide better facilities for

nnnn

regional carriers, the airport commissioned

nnnn

construction of two new hangars. Having pre-

nnnn

viously seen Megadoors in operation at anoth-

nnnn

er airport, the customer was fully convinced

nnnn

and specified them for the new hangars

nnnn

Critical issues:

nnnn

• Location on Ireland's west coast, with ex-

nnnn

posure to high wind loads and salty coastal

nnnn

environment.

nnnn

• Frequent opening and closing of hangar

nnnn

doors.

nnnn

• Fast opening and closing required.

nnnn

• Maximum use of limited land.

nnnn

• Flexible use, energy efficiency, and low

nnnn

maintenance.

nnnn

• Non-standard hangar door colour.

nnnn

Megadoor provided:

nnnn

• Project and design collaboration with archi-

nnnn

tects and building contractor.

nnnn

• 2 sets of Megadoor vertical lifting fabric

nnnn

doors, each 32 m wide, comprising three

nnnn

individually manoeuvrable leaves connect-

nnnn

ed by swing-up mullions. Centre leaf 9.5 m

nnnn

high. Left and right leaves each 6.5 m high.

nnnn

• Installation and commissioning.

nnnn

Benefits:

nnnn

• Access across practically the entire hangar

nnnn

width, for full utilisation of hangar capacity.

nnnn

• Fast, reliable performance. Easy operation.

nnnn

• Long lifetime. Low operating cost.

nnnn

• Excellent air tightness & wind resistance.

nnnn

• Minimal maintenance need. Easy to repair.

nnnn

• No floor tracks. Practically no door

nnnn

footprint.

nnnn

• Extended warranties are available for up

nnnn

to 10 years on all components.

nnnn

"We are pleased with the new hangar

nnnn

and all its facilities, including the three-

nnnn

section Megadoor, which provides a good

nnnn

seal against the weather, operates quick-

nnnn

ly and without difficulty, and maximiz-

nnnn

es the width of the frontal entrance for

nnnn

moving aircraft in and out. "
