Construction in the aerospace industry requires some special consideration and well-thought-out design. Often, this industry requires customized metal buildings to suit their specific needs.
Companies operating within this industry may need metal buildings for several purposes. These could include manufacturing, R&D, hangar parking, or somewhere to perform repairs, maintenance, and other operations. Aerospace operations can include anything from airports to manufacturing components fit for space. In other words, aerospace industry construction will always have varying requirements to consider.
These requirements can present rather unique challenges. Thus, the construction company you choose needs to be up to speed with aerospace industry construction.
Construction In The Aerospace Sector
As a trusted construction company, Chad Fisher Construction provides many services. These include expertise and services in aerospace design and construction. As mentioned, the aerospace industry is very particular in its needs and requirements. As such, here are some of the things to consider for aerospace industry construction.
Design and Manufacturing Facilities
If your facility manufactures or repairs aircrafts, you will know how important the air humidity is. Thus, when it comes to constructing an aerospace facility, it is essential to factor in humidity regulation. For example, the building needs to have space and capacity for air control systems. This will ensure that temperature and humidity levels don’t affect production.
Chad Fisher Construction uses VDC technology to thoroughly plan out and visualize the facility. This way, you can see where all the complex parts can go ahead of the project. This allows you to plan everything out to the last detail before construction begins. This is very useful for identifying problem areas and preventing any construction issues before they arise.
The design and construction of an aerospace building come with industry-specific considerations. Aircraft dimensions need to be considered for the floor plans, clearspan requirements, and height of the facility. It is also important to decide on the most suitable door-type such as rolling doors, bi-fold doors, or section doors.
Material conveyance and distribution is also an important factor to plan for. There are many components deliverable to an aerospace industry site. During the planning stages of your project, it is necessary to think about where you will store them.
Space Requirements
Space is an environment in a league of its own. As such, the equipment and components that you manufacture need to hold up without a doubt in the harsh environments. This means having testing facilities that can handle complex systems.
Aerospace facilities that manufacture components for space have to consider all the specifics. These include details such as where to house the varying complex systems and dangerous materials.
Regulations
Compliance with airport security and safety stipulations is a significant consideration. In addition, it is important to incorporate eco-friendly green building practices, energy efficiency, and more.
Other things to plan for include:
- fire protection standards
- seismic possibilities
- building codes
- zoning requirements.
When it comes to security, contractors need to be hyper-aware of the area-specific requirements. While some tools and equipment are satisfactory in one area, they may not be allowed in others.
Risk and Safety Management
When working on aerospace industry construction sites, the project will require numerous laborers and staff support to put everything together. Accordingly, special regulations need to be implemented to keep everyone safe.
Contractors must plan for all potential issues that may arise during the planning phases. These practices should include everything from avoiding leaks or spills to the maintenance of equipment to avoid over-pressurization on facilities.
Planning Requires High-Tech, Complex Experience
Metal buildings are standard in the aerospace industry. A specific understanding of construction practices is necessary to deliver these types of projects. This is because these metal buildings often need specific customization depending on the project.
