Adding to the existing five hangars at this major aviation museum, BFL managed the construction of a new, 26,000 SF hangar in 2010. The metal building consists of a display area, kitchen facilities, and a restaurant. The highest point of the hangar is approximately 54 feet above the floor, and the structure allows two aircraft to be suspended from the roof.

The fuel island expansion and truck scales at this equipment company’s Tucson proving grounds were completed in a two-phase construction approach. Phase 1 consisted of mining haul truck scales supported on a 5,600 SF, 18-in. thick mat foundation system. Phase 2 was a 950 SF fuel island expansion for a 15,000-gallon red diesel fuel tank..

This project was constructed under a fast-track timeline that required precise orchestration of subcontractors. To house some of the largest mining eqiupment that exists, the facility required a clear working height of 34 ft. and an eave height of 45 ft. Above the clear height the building is equipped with a 20-ton bridge crane. The building also houses an administrative wing, and on the exterior has a high. bay-covered storage area. To achieve the required floor stability, a raft slab design was used: the raft slab was 20 ft deep with two lower mats of rebar, all on top of 5 ft of geomat-layered earth above 60 feet of existing fill. We performed a continuous pour of 470 cu. yds. starting at midnight, requiring a concrete truck to arrive every 6 minutes for almost 5 hours. The finished slab was flawless.

BFL Construction and WSM Architects served as the design/build team for this new construction project, which provides 40,000 SF of refrigerated storage and processing space and 5,000 SF of truck docks and offices. The metal building consists of six-inch insulated metal panels with passive ventilation under a six-inch reinforced slab. The warehouse is cooled to 34 degrees F except for the rework area, which is cooled to 54 degrees F. The 160-foot clear span design eliminates the need for columns and provides an interior 30-foot clear height. The project includes a 35,000-SF concrete driveway.
