How Was H.S. Williams the Best Construction Company for the Job?
- Nicewonder Aviation needed a hangar for a new corporate jet and H.S. Williams Company has a passion for aviation.
- Our quick response to client requests, and six decades of experience with pre-engineered metal buildings, spurred shortened design time and expedited hangar construction.
- H.S. Williams Company brought several unique aspects to the hangar, including a heated approach ramp that ensures jet removal in inclement weather, and epoxy floor coating to brighten the interior and increase visual appeal.
Hangar Construction Challenges
- Working at an airport is a unique construction site that presents a number of challenges.
- H.S. Williams personnel had to remain ever vigilant of both ground and air traffic.
- Our engineers worked closely with the FAA and airport authorities to meet all guidelines on building construction, egress for the aircraft and aircraft clearances.
