United Arab Emirates, Middle East

Within a confidential project in the United Arab Emirates, Dar provided the schematic design for a MRO hangar facility, to meet the expected growth and expansion of a market-leading aviation company.

Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul Hangars

With a built-up area of around 5,000 m², the MRO hangar targets Pearl sustainability certification and features two hangar bays, maintenance shops, a parts warehouse, aprons and taxiways, and dry and wet utilities.

Dar’s scope included not only the design of the hangar itself and the critical MEP services but also preparatory works such as geotechnical investigations, topographical site surveys and cost estimation as well as sustainability consulting to ensure the hangar meets the airport’s vision for sustainability.

 The project also covered roadway site accesses (including separate road access for customers, employees, and internal access). Additionally, Dar designed extensive site works to support the hangar’s operations, covering utilities, landscape, lighting, and signage. The team also designed a hazardous waste storage facility that can safely store waste, ahead of processing and treatment.

The project was envisioned to delivered new innovative services and a state-of-the-art, highly sustainable new facility that can better serve the United Arab Emirates’ aviation sector and support the expansion of the aviation company across the GCC region.
