REIDsteel Doors Case Study - Island Aeroplanes Hangar, Isle

Island Aeroplanes

Posted on August 28, 2014 | Leave a comment

Sandown, Isle of Wight

This hangar built at Sandown on the Isle of Wight, was designed to be an aircraft museum. The museum aircraft were flown over from Germany within 3 months of REIDsteel starting on site.

Due to the restrictions on site, a single sided outrigger door was designed so that a complete opening of 19m could be achieved without impacting on the neighbouring land. Unusually, this hangar door was top hung and used four slabs (4.6m high by 4.8m wide) on two tracks.
