Description:
This 91,461 sq. ft. facility is the second hangar that Butler Heavy Structures has provided for Continental Airlines at their Newark hub. Situated next to Hangar #56 built a few years prior, the structural framing system incorporated straight mill shape columns and 18' deep roof trusses and an overhead crane. Economies were realized by utilizing Butler's standard Z-shape, coldform members for the roof purlins and wall girts.
The building provides an interior clearspan of 229' and has
been designed to accommodate a Boeing 777. The 220' x 70'
hangar door was supplied as part of Butler Heavy Structures' scope of work.
Butler supplied an MR-24® standing seam roof and
increased the number of roof purlins in high uplift areas.
Other products supplied by Butler include the Butlerib® II
wall panels, the exclusive Sky-Web® fall protection and
insulation support system, all roof and wall insulation, and
all of the structural steel framing for the adjacent shop and
office building.
