AirSpace, relocatable hangars for aircrafts: the solution in times of crisis

AirSpace,  relocatable hangars for aircrafts

It is August, but hundreds of planes are parked on taxiways and landing strips, maintenance areas, parking lots and all kinds of operational areas at airports around the world.

These are the consequences of mobility restrictions in the COVID-19 crisis. Airports such as Frankfurt, the largest in Germany, are now car parks for airlines such as Lufthansa or Condor. And the forecasts for flights to operate in the coming weeks are even worse.

Lack of space

It is estimated that next summer will be very different from this. Maybe not the same as the summer of the previous year, but much better than this arid 2020. But, for now, all those planes are being parked out in the open due to lack of space. Exposed to weather conditions that will worsen as winter approaches.

The most serious crisis

There are no great or excellent solutions to such a situation. Without a doubt, it is the most serious crisis in the aeronautical sector, in its entire history. But those planes need to be protected or the cost of getting them back in the air could be very high.

The best solution: Relocatable hangar

The best solution is through relocatable hangars. A metal hangar that is easily and quickly erected on any terrain, and offers total protection against wind, rain, snow and even cold, heat or humidity.

In VALL, in fact, we build hangars in which several planes could fit: a few constructions could house all the warehouses of a single airport.

Completely open structures

In addition, the modular property of this type of demountable hangar makes it possible to create totally open structures of several kilometers in length. A single construction could cover an entire runway, fully insulating, watertight and resistant to adverse weather conditions.

Aluminum or steel hangar

These hangars can be made of aluminium, created in hyper reduced times, at a very low cost and with the ability to adapt to any type of terrain or circumstance

However, if a particularly spacious hangar is needed, in length, width and height, completely open-plan, and with particularly high resistance, the ideal would be a removable steel hangar. Its structural properties make it a relocatable warehouse that could well be used permanently. Although, of course, like all removable hangars, this type of construction can also be disassembled, moved or resized to adapt to the new needs of the aviation sector that may arise from now on.

From VALL we will continue to work in order to provide solutions that are applied faster and faster, with more benefits and at the lowest possible cost, to help our clients overcome times of crisis more easily.
