Hangars Are Easy. Aviation Infrastructure Is Not.
At Sabal Aviation, we don’t build metal buildings – we build precision infrastructure for aircraft owners, private pilots, and serious operators. MLB Phase 1 proves that point. From slab to span, every square foot is engineered for long-term operational success and regulatory compliance.
Let’s break down what makes these hangars stand out in a market filled with generic prefab shells.
FAA-Compliant Design from the Ground Up
Unlike basic storage structures, our hangars are designed around FAA compliance. That means:
- Taxiway alignment with proper clearances
- ADA and NFPA compliance for fire suppression pathways
- Pre-engineered door spans to allow for tail height and full-wing taxi-through
- Low-emissivity insulation for thermal regulation
These are engineered to house aircraft, not lawnmowers.
Industrial-Grade Steel + Reinforced Load Capacity
We source steel with minimum yield strength of 50 ksi – well beyond standard commercial construction. Load-bearing columns are calculated for dual aircraft bays and internal buildouts, including:
- Office space
- Pilot lounges
- Bathroom/shower installations
- Mechanic tool zones
This makes the hangar adaptable for MRO operations, aircraft partnerships, or high-end resale.
Weather-Resilient Roofing + Storm Drainage
Florida storms are non-negotiable. Our roofing systems use 26-gauge galvalume panels, fastened with high-torque seal screws and sealed with double-gasket butyl tape. Gutter systems are oversized, sloped for directional control, and tied to underground drainage to mitigate water intrusion – keeping interiors dry and corrosion-free.
Future-Ready Utility Pathing
We embed conduits for:
- 200+ amp electric service
- Wi-Fi and cellular booster hubs
- Hangar fan wiring
- Split HVAC lines
- Water, sewer, and tankless water heater routing
Everything is designed for owners who want more than “just space.” These hangars perform – now and in the years to come.
