Structural and MEP design for airport hangars, Peachtree, GA
S3DA Design provided comprehensive Structural and MEP engineering services for a new aircraft hangar facility in Peachtree, Georgia, designed to support aviation operations, maintenance, and future growth.
The project features a 120’ × 120’ Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) with a 32’ eave height and a total footprint of 14,400 SF, including a 1,000 SF office area engineered to accommodate a future office mezzanine / storage deck. The hangar includes a 110’ wide aircraft door, slab-on-grade construction, and a sprinklered Type IIB structure with 3-phase power.
Structural Engineering Scope
- Foundation and slab-on-grade design accounting for wind, seismic, dead, and live loads
- Spread footings, grade beams, slab thickening, and jointing for the PEMB system
- Independent aircraft door foundation design, coordinated with manufacturer reactions
- Anchorage and embed design for columns, frames, and door bays
- Office mezzanine structural design, including gravity and lateral systems, vibration and deflection control, slab checks, and PEMB tie-in strategies
- Complete structural drawings, details, and calculations
MEP Engineering Scope
- Electrical: Utility service and distribution, hangar and office lighting, egress and façade lighting, receptacles, HVAC power, and low-voltage rough-ins
- Mechanical (HVAC): Office HVAC system with load calculations, air distribution, restroom exhaust, warehouse ventilation, and mechanical schedules
- Plumbing: Domestic water, sanitary, venting, water heating, condensate management, equipment schedules, and isometric drawings
This project reflects S3DA Design’s expertise in aviation facilities, PEMB structures, and integrated Structural + MEP solutions, delivering a code-compliant, efficient, and scalable hangar design.
