The Aircraft Hangar was bound to handle “A check” level and unscheduled maintenance works, such as change of engine, Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), landing gear and others, for all Royal Jordanian Airplanes A340. It was designed to be one of the largest free span aircrafts in Jordan with an approximate total area of 5000 m2 and clear dimensions of 72*72*26 m.

The aircraft hangar structure was designed and imported from Kirby Building Systems, which is one of the largest pre-engineered steel building (PEB) companies in the world and constructed as below:

• Sandwich panel cladding.
• Motorized hangar door (18.5 × 70m), designed and supplied by Spec-Door.
• Suspended overhead crane with a capacity of 6.3 tons and hook height of 18.5 m that
• covers the whole hangar span, supplied by Morris Crane-UK.
• An independent foam firefighting system.
• A concrete corridor connection to the taxiway with a total area of 12,000 m2, with
• directional lighting installed for the runway and 25m high light towers for general lighting.
• Two floors annex buildings for administrative office.

This project was designed to be the largest clear free span Aircraft Hanger. We implemented a fast-track construction scheduling technique, which was used to reduce the overall duration of projects by overlapping tasks. With an approximate total area of 5000 m2, this aircraft hangar can shelter and maintain three airplanes simultaneously (Boeing 737 and two challengers). The aircraft hangar structure was designed and imported from Kirby Building Systems, which is one of the largest pre-engineered steel building (PEB) companies in the world, and was constructed as below:

• Clear dimensions of (85 × 55 × 23 m).
• 80×4 m eight-leaf motorized sliding main doors, with the ability to open each leaf independently.
• An overhead crane with -10ton capacity supplied by the British Morris Crane Company.
• 2000 m2 two-story steel structure annex office space.
