SIAEC upgrades its painting facilities at Chiangi Airport with a Megadoor vertical lifting fabric door from ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems

Singapore International Airlines Engineering Company (SIAEC) is one of the largest providers of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services in the Asia-Pacific region. From its facility at Singapore Changi Airport, the company does MRO work for more than 60 international carriers who value its reputation for quality, efficiency and reliability.
To secure better painting capabilities for its expanding business, SIAEC decided to refurbish Hangar No. 5 of its Changi Airport facility. The aim was not only to increase the size of the operation, but also to improve the quality of the work through paint extraction systems, telescopic platforms and the addition of a hangar door.

ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems provided

For the door of Hangar No. 5, ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems provided SIAEC with a tight-sealing Megadoor vertical lifting fabric door. Measuring 90 x 25 m, it consists of five individual sections.

Benefits with the solutions:

The choice of a Megadoor vertical lifting fabric door enabled a swift and effective conversion of SIAEC’s existing building. Since no rails or foundations were needed, it was not necessary to excavate the existing apron to provide support for ground tracks. Having been approved by the Singapore authorities, the solution paves the way for similar installations in Singapore.
Most importantly, SIAEC now has a first-class painting facility in Hangar No. 5. The Megadoor vertical lifting fabric door provides the tightest sealing available on the market, which means no fumes escape and no dirt or dust gets in. Pleased with the outcome, the company has gone on to choose a Megadoor vertical lifting fabric door for its new facility in the Philippenes as well.
