Veldeman Structure Solutions - References Aircraft Hangars and Airport Terminals

Repair & Maintenance facilities – Aviation sector

Scheduled maintenance, modification and upgrade programmes and AOG repairs are all facility-dependant. When facilities are not available, the impact on flying schedules can be costly.

Together with our UK partner Support Air, Veldeman has provided solutions for two major aircraft manufacturers and numerous airlines faced with just such a situation. When aircraft cannot be moved and there are no hangar facilities on site, Veldeman and Support Air bring the hangar to the aircraft. Veldeman structures are as strong and durable as permanent structures, but so lightweight that they can be conveniently transported and quickly set up or relocated, almost anywhere in the world.

As a consequence, our solutions have been used in Algeria, Australia, China, Crete, Dominican Republic, Ivory Coast, Poland, Spain, UK and USA.

Hangar – Eindhoven Airport

When Eindhoven Airport needed a low-cost hangar that could be erected easily and delivered fast, they turned to Veldeman.

We met all their needs with a 15x15x3 m solution, providing a natural working environment with the added versatility of being relocatable and expandable.

Terminal structure/check-in – Airport Leeds Bradford and East Midland

The travel trade is notorious for sudden or unusual peaks in demand. Two UK airports recently dealt with sudden capacity problems in an innovative way. Leeds Bradford International has expanded existing terminal/check-in capacity to cope with the summer rush with a Veldeman design that will remain open for 5-10 years. And East Midlands Airport has installed a semi-permanent 5-year solution to tide them over until a new, traditional building is completed.

Both solutions provide perfect insulation, with a skin either side of a rock wool filling to achieve optimal U-values. The structures also come with air conditioning and heating, while steel cladding and an anti-vandalism system guarantee great security. Additional options included automatic doors and glass windows.
