This confidential client needed a build-to-suit corporate hangar engineered to a 185' clear span, coordinated with Salt Lake City Department of Airports authorities for site security and access, and designed to meet the seismic requirements of a Class D site.
As structural engineers, we designed the pre-engineered metal building's structural system to deliver a 185' clear span and 29'3" clear height, engineered to meet the seismic requirements of a Class D site. Our structural design also supported the facility's 5,100 SF office and storage build-out, the 3,000 SF carport, and the infrastructure needed for de-ionized water distribution, aviation-specific power receptacles, in-floor potable water supply, and sewer dump access.
The completed hangar gives this confidential client a build-to-suit facility engineered for the specific demands of corporate aviation, from clear-span capacity to airport-coordinated site security, all delivered through one fully coordinated design.
The design-build process has fundamentally redefined the modern architectural practice. Historically, the architectural world operated on standard segregation: design first (Architect), bid second (Owner/Contractor), build third (General Contractor).

In a world where promises often come with exceptions, limitations, and fine print, we believe great design should not. We approach every challenge with a commitment to delivering the best possible outcome, not the easiest one. No shortcuts. No hidden surprises. No asterisk.
