Gore Hanger, San Antonio
Posted
09/30/2011
The 61,645-square-foot project was designed to increase the
building size to allow larger aircraft into the facility. Using
open web frame construction to achieve a 258-foot clear span made
the steel costs more economical and the design more efficient,
allowing for less erection time. In addition to providing the metal
building system, Varco Pruden Buildings supplied its metal wall and
roof panels. The hangar's walls consisted of Varco Pruden's Vee Rib
metal wall panels with fiberglass insulation and 7.2 horizontal
panels from MBCI on the lean-to office portion. The roof is made up
of Varco Pruden's 24-inchwide standing-seam metal roof in Galvalume
with fiberglass insulation. Additionally, the San Antonio Business
Journal awarded the hangar the 2011 Best Industrial Redevelopment
Project.
