Bagram Airfield C-130 Hangar Afghanistan
June 30th, 2009 by Rubb
Rubb Building Systems and Cocoon recently collaborated in the installation of a fixed-base maintenance aircraft hangar for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Based at the Bagram Airfield base in Afghanistan, the hangar is designed to accommodate a C-130 aircraft and has a clear span width of 174’ with a 153’ wide by 46’ high door.
The hangar will fulfill critical maintenance activities not currently available in Afghanistan and is designed to meet specific clear space, environmental, and load conditions, including: support for suspended equipment, full internal fire protection systems, fuels maintenance systems, supporting utilities, and the ability to withstand 90MPH wind gusts. The project also meets all continental U.S. code requirements for potential re-use and re-location within the continental United States.
