#1 Aircraft Hangar Construction Services | APX PEMB Specialists

When it comes to storing and protecting aircraft, the right hangar makes all the difference. Whether you own a private jet, manage a fleet of corporate planes, or operate a regional airport, aircraft hangar construction requires more than just building a large structure; it demands precision, durability, and flexibility. At APX Construction Group, we specialize in pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) hangars that deliver strength, efficiency, and long-term value.

In this article, we’ll explore what makes an aircraft hangar successful, why PEMBs are the preferred solution, and how APX helps clients across Minnesota, South Dakota, and beyond bring their aviation projects to life.

What Is an Aircraft Hangar?

An aircraft hangar is a specialized facility designed to store, protect, and maintain airplanes or helicopters. Unlike traditional warehouses or storage facilities, hangars must accommodate:

• Wide clear spans for unobstructed movement of aircraft.
• High ceilings and door systems for large wingspans and tail heights.
• Specialized ventilation, fire suppression, and insulation systems to meet aviation safety standards.
• Durability to withstand harsh weather conditions while safeguarding valuable aircraft.

Because of these unique requirements, aircraft hangars demand custom design and engineering expertise, which is where APX Construction Group excels.

Why Choose a PEMB for Aircraft Hangar Construction?

Pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMBs) are the gold standard for modern hangar construction. Here’s why:

1. Clear-Span Capabilities

PEMB systems allow for large, column-free interiors—essential for moving aircraft in and out safely. With spans reaching over 200 feet, PEMBs give pilots and operators maximum space to maneuver.

2. Cost-Effective Construction

Traditional construction methods often require longer timelines and higher costs. PEMBs are fabricated off-site and delivered ready to assemble, reducing both labor expenses and construction delays.

3. Durability & Longevity

Aircraft are significant investments, and hangars must provide unmatched protection. PEMB hangars are engineered for strength, designed to withstand high winds, snow loads, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring long-term performance.

4. Customization Options

From bi-fold and hydraulic doors to integrated office and maintenance spaces, PEMBs offer flexibility in design to meet specific aviation needs.

5. Energy Efficiency

With the right insulation and design, PEMB hangars maintain consistent temperatures, reduce energy costs, and support sustainable aviation operations.

Key Considerations in Aircraft Hangar Construction

When planning an aircraft hangar, several factors must be carefully evaluated:

• Size & Clear Span: Determining the size of the hangar depends on the number and type of aircraft. A jet requires different dimensions than a helicopter or a small prop plane.
• Door Systems: Bi-fold, sliding, or hydraulic doors must match the aircraft’s wingspan and height.
• Site Selection: Proximity to runways, access roads, and utility connections impacts overall functionality.
• Structural Loads: Hangars must meet local building codes for snow, wind, and seismic loads.
• Interior Layout: Many clients include office space, pilot lounges, or maintenance bays within the hangar.
• Future Expansion: Designing for scalability ensures the hangar can grow with your aviation needs.

At APX, our team works through each of these considerations during the pre-construction phase to ensure your hangar is built right the first time.
