Why Use Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings for Aviation?

When it comes to constructing airports and other aviation facilities, pre-engineered metal buildings are becoming an increasingly popular choice. Not only are they cost effective, but they’re also fast to install and provide excellent protection against the elements. In this article, we’ll explore why pre-engineered metal buildings are a perfect choice for aviation construction and management projects.

What Are Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings?

A pre-engineered metal building is a structure that consists of frames and components manufactured in the factory and assembled onsite. The material is usually steel, although aluminum and other alloys can also be used. While some features are customized according to specific needs, most components are standardized for faster delivery and installation.

Why Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings Are Great for Aviation

Pre-engineered metal buildings are an excellent solution for airport facilities that require quick deployment and superior protection against harsh weather conditions and fire hazards. This solution also costs less than traditional construction methods. Additionally, its scalability allows architects and engineers more freedom when designing projects, ensuring a perfect fit for almost any budget.

The Construction Process for Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings

Pre-engineered metal buildings are an excellent option for aviation facilities that want to quickly and easily construct a hangar or other long-term shelter. Let’s walk through the step-by-step process to help you decide whether they’re the right choice for your project.

Considering Design Options

When planning an aviation building project, you need to evaluate the needs of your space and any special considerations like wind speed, seismic activity, or snow load requirements. This will help you select the right size and type of pre-engineered metal building for your needs. It’s also important to consider any additional features you may need, such as insulation, lighting, or access doors, to create a shelter that meets all of your requirements.

Selecting a Steel Panel System

Once you’ve determined your design needs, it’s time to select the right steel panel system for your project. Several types of systems are available, such as standing seam panels that offer strength and durability. There are also insulated panels, which provide greater insulation against heat transfer from the outside environment. You should also consider the colors available to choose an option that fits your style preferences.

Understanding the Components Before Onsite Building Begins

Several components of pre-engineered metal buildings are prefabricated before arriving onsite, making construction much more straightforward than traditional methods. These components include wall panels, roof trusses, beam connectors, and columns, all of which fit together like a puzzle while providing corrosion and rust resistance. They also require less labor during installation, since they arrive onsite ready-made with no welding required.

Optimizing Installation With Automation Technology

Automation technology has dramatically improved the speed of installation for pre-engineered metal buildings. This technology allows workers to quickly assemble components with minimal labor, which reduces the risk of human error and potential accidents during construction.

If you’re considering pre-engineered metal buildings for your next project, check out this article that takes a deeper dive into the benefits of pre-engineered construction.

Advantages of Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings

The Benefits of Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings for Aviation Construction Management

Pre-engineered metal buildings have several advantages over traditional construction methods regarding aviation use:

Design Flexibility

Pre-engineered metal buildings like hangers and cargo warehouses offer plenty of flexibility in the design phase. Not only can they be created based on your exact needs, but they can also be scaled up or down depending on your budget or project requirements without compromising quality. These structures can also be easily modified later if needed without significant disruption or reconstruction work required, something not possible with standard construction methods.

Cost Efficiency

Despite their lower costs compared to traditional construction methods, pre-engineered metal buildings still offer superior quality in less time due to the prefabrication processes involved. This method significantly cuts down labor costs and overall project time compared to wood or concrete construction.

Durability and Strength

Pre-engineered metal buildings are built to withstand harsh weather conditions and natural disasters, making them an ideal choice for aviation construction management. These buildings are made of high-quality materials that resist heavy winds, snow, rain, and other harsh environmental factors common in aviation settings, especially in areas like Denver.

Energy Efficiency

Pre-engineered metal buildings are also highly energy efficient, saving you money on heating and cooling costs over time. These buildings are well-insulated and can be fitted with energy-efficient windows, doors, and HVAC systems, making them an excellent choice for aviation construction management projects requiring high energy efficiency.

Speed of Construction

Because pre-engineered metal buildings are designed and manufactured offsite, they can be constructed quickly and efficiently. This saves significant time on your construction project and gets your aviation facility up and running as soon as possible.

Sustainability

Calahan Construction is a contractor focused on sustainability. Our metal buildings use recyclable, repurposed material, offering extra insulation that reduces energy consumption and costs.
