Aviation and Hangar Construction
Terminals, fixed base operations and aircraft hangars at general aviation airports across the region.
Gray Construction Services has completed six aviation projects worth roughly $10 million, all at general aviation airports in North Central Florida.
That includes the $3.5 million Williston Airport terminal building for the City of Williston, the $1.6 million Sheltair aviation hangar at 19,000 square feet, the $1.2 million Keystone Heights Airpark FBO, and T-hangars at Cross City Airport.
Aviation is a small sector by count and a specialised one by requirement. Airside construction is not like building on an ordinary commercial site.
Building airside
Work inside an airport operations area is governed by the airport, not just the building department. Access is controlled, movement is escorted or badged, and any activity near a movement area is coordinated with airport operations.
Hangars are large-span structures with door systems that dominate the build. Hangar door selection, foundations and the tolerances they demand drive the schedule more than the enclosure does.
Terminal buildings are public buildings with an airside face. They combine ordinary commercial finishes and systems with the security separation, apron access and fuelling adjacency that airports require.
How this work is procured
Aviation projects have been delivered under construction management at-risk for municipal airport owners and private fixed base operators alike.
