S3DA Design provided comprehensive Structural and MEP engineering services for a new aircraft hangar facility in 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.
