Heber Valley Airport Hangars

Aviation Hangar Complex – Custom Private & Multi-Use Hangars

Heber Valley Airport Hangars - Aviation Hangar Complex – Custom Private & Multi-Use Hangars
Helper, Utah
Western Steel Buildings collaborated with private aviation clients at the Heber Valley Airport to design and deliver nine custom aviation hangars. These steel structures were engineered to accommodate aircraft storage, mechanic shops, private party venues, business offices, and high-end garage uses. Each hangar features specific owner preferences such as PowerLift hydraulic doors, personalized color themes, and tailored insulation packages (R-38 roof, R-19 walls).

Project Scope & Scale

  • Use: Aviation hangars for private and business use
  • Number of Hangars: Nine separate units, delivered simultaneously
  • Typical Size Range: Examples include 70′ × 50′ × 17′ eave height and 50′ × 50′ × 17′ eave height, with stem walls of 20′ for some units
  • Roof Slope: 2:12 on each unit
  • Special Features: PowerLift hydraulic doors up to 60′ × 16′ for exceptional access

Key Challenges

  • Meeting diverse individual client requirements across multiple hangars while maintaining consistent delivery and quality.
  • Designing large-opening hangars that balance aesthetics, structural integrity, and aviation operational needs.
  • Providing insulation (R-38 in roof, R-19 in walls) suitable for hanger conditioning in a mountain climate.
  • Integrating large hydraulic doors, stem-walls, and custom sizes into a unified campus environment.

Solution / Approach

  • Engineered nine pre-engineered steel hangars, each tailored with owner-specific dimensions, color themes, and door systems.
  • Incorporated high-capacity PowerLift hydraulic doors for seamless aircraft and equipment entry/exit.
  • Applied insulated panel systems and stem-walls to enhance structural and thermal performance.
  • Delivered units in a coordinated fashion on the same campus to optimize construction efficiency and minimize disruption.
