The scope of works includes the remediation of all steel components within hangar 339. The project will be undertaken through in-house services including utilising Duratec’s abrasive blast and paint team.
The structural integrity of the heritage hangar was comprised therefore Duratec only replaced the necessary members to ensure the heritage aesthetic was maintained. This involved complex engineering and temporary propping to allow old sections to be remove and new installed. Upon completion all steelwork was blast and painted.
