Our client required an aircraft maintenance hangar for aircraft and large vehicles. The existing structures they were using were old and needed updating so they
were looking for a more advanced type of system. The new hangar needed to be relocatable but also strong enough to withstand the particularly high snow and
wind loads associated with the location and climate.
Kiwi Modular Structures created a bespoke building that combined a standard aluminium frame with the advanced Carbon Profiles; which feature in the unique and fully patented Carbon-Hybrid range. The Carbon Profiles were used for the outer wind bracings which created considerably more strength and a higher tolerance to extreme weather: Wind loads: 100 km/h Snow loads: 100 kg/sqm. The installation took just 2 days.
By using the advanced Carbon Profile technology unique to Kiwi Modular Structures, a
bespoke aircraft maintenance hangar has been designed that is much stronger
than a standard aluminium framed hangar. And, despite the substantial increase
in strength, the Carbon Profiles did not have any significant impact on the weight,
size or transport volume. It’s these key advantages of the Carbon-Hybrid system –
stronger, lighter, smaller, faster – that are creating much interest within military
organisations the world over. More and more clients are learning about this new,
ground-breaking technology and contacting Kiwi Modular Structures to learn how it can
benefit them.
