Airport construction requires knowledgeable specialists.

Building a hangar isn´t like simply building a large garage. There are very specific concerns to take into mind, from the door specifications, span and weight factors, and property security needs. The size of the aircraft and large vehicles that will be stored within is also a determining factor at the design stage. Steel buildings are very versatile and strong. Numerous resources offer to design and build your customized aircraft hangar. Aviation property managers might find a delivered product an attractive option. But care must be taken to address the specific and unique needs of airport construction.

When faced with storm damage repair to existing buildings or new construction of aircraft hangars, it´s important to find a service specialist experienced with working "on property". Very specific FAA regulations must be met in order to reduce the risks that come from the dangers of airport construction.

• A Pre-Construction Safety Plan: This should include a scope of work, estimated duration, runway and taxiway marking and lighting, designated obstacle-free areas and safety areas, boundaries for pedestrians, location for construction materials, emergency procedures and HAMAT management, procedural provisions and inspection requirements.

There are restrictions on how close construction can occur near runways, where open trenches or excavation work can be located, where service vehicles may park, and where stockpiled materials can be held. Construction companies accustomed to ordinary home and business locations will not be familiar with these unique requirements.

• Barricades, Marking, and Lighting: FAA safety regulations specify that barricades must be of certain height and weight and orange, white, and reflective. Everything, from hazards to construction zones must be properly marked and lighted with specific cones, flags, flashers, and "x" markers.

In addition, any vehicle that travels over airport property must be properly identified, approved, and escorted. Regulations indicate that flashers or beacons must be attached to all vehicles. They must be in communication via two-way radio with the command tower unless the area is closed and marked for specific construction activity.

Airport Certification and Safety Inspectors will be on site frequently to ensure that guidelines are being adhered to and to investigate any violations. Problems that occur over not understanding these critical concerns can slow and debilitate construction progress. This is avoidable by hiring a professional company that has extensive experience with working on property. Adherence to regulations will be taken into consideration when compiling the first part of the process: the scope of work. Employees will already have the background checks required by the Department of Homeland Security and issues like badges and clearance will not hinder the project´s advancement.
