Vertical Lifting Fabric Hangar Doors for Aircraft

Megadoor has recently secured an order from MENA Aerospace Enterprises for installation of two hangar doors for the new general aviation and hangar complex at Bahrain International Airport (BIA).

The new complex will feature 6,400sqm of buildings sitting on a plot of 25,000sqm at the north-west end of the airport. The complex will provide comprehensive maintenance and support service to private and corporate aircraft.

The Megadoor system consists of vertical lifting fabric doors with a total clearance dimension of 45 m in width x 15.5 m in height. Megadoor also provides project and design support to the contractor, Hafeera Contracting, and is responsible for installation and commissioning. The new complex is scheduled to be operational in March 2012.
