Aircraft parked outside require expensive and time-consuming de-icing before each flight.Winter winds and snow will dictate the building's load requirements, and the onset of winter will ultimately dictate the project's timeline.In a city like Nome, air travel is critical to delivering mail, medicine, and other necessities to residents, but iced-up planes often cause delays, so deliveries must be made before winter.Construction contractor Alaska Business Development Group knows the schedule is non-negotiable.

What would a project be without its engineering challenges?
Among other unique factors, the hangar was designed with Nome's extreme winds in mind, which required a high-performance door that maintains performance standards.Additionally, in order to accommodate the maximum number of aircraft and cargo handling space, the hangar needed a 220-foot clear span while still meeting Alaska's 60 pounds per square foot load-bearing requirements for snow and wind.Steel was the material of choice for the construction, as it was the only material that could provide the required span lengths while meeting the load criteria.

The largest hangar, enabling airlines to get aircraft in the air faster and with fewer mechanical delays.Passengers benefit from a more comfortable indoor departure environment, and aircraft are better protected from inclement weather, resulting in a longer service life.

The project has had a positive impact on the community, whose desire for safe and reliable air travel is often limited by months of bad weather.Once again, a pleasant referral and our commitment to providing service where many providers cannot or will not provide it, provided us with a rare opportunity to prove ourselves in the face of adversity.
