Fuel Systems Aircraft Corrosion Control Hangar

This project supports the U.S. Air Force and National Guard’s long-term vision of modernized, regional maintenance facilities that enhance mission resilience and reduce downtime. The hangar ensures safe working conditions through advanced hazard-mitigation infrastructure while enabling efficient, compliant aircraft repair operations. It plays a crucial role in regional logistics by reducing transportation needs and supporting localized readiness. The facility integrates sustainability, safety, and high performance into a single, strategic platform. Positioned at Moffett Field, it provides proximity to partners in aerospace research and defense innovation.

• High-bay hangar designed for corrosion control and fuel system maintenance
• Environmental control systems regulating humidity, air quality, and temperature
• Explosion-proof lighting, electrical, and HVAC systems
• Specialized fire suppression and aircraft wash-down infrastructure
• Secure support spaces for inspection, repair, and operations control
• SCIF-ready zones for sensitive or classified component handling
• Compliance with UFC, NFPA, and DoD facility safety criteria

The project is situated within the secure boundaries of Moffett Federal Airfield, a site long associated with military aviation and federal research. Surrounded by key institutions including NASA Ames and the California Air National Guard, the hangar benefits from existing infrastructure and operational synergy. Its placement in the heart of Silicon Valley also allows for potential collaboration with aerospace and technology innovators. The site’s history and access to advanced logistical networks further enhance its value. Together, these elements make Moffett Field an ideal location for high-performance military infrastructure.

• 2019–2020 – Planning, funding, and design development completed
• 2020–2021 – Bidding phase and contract award to Thompson Builders Corp.
• Spring 2021 – Construction begins with demolition, grading, and utilities
• 2022–2023 – Structural steel erection, hangar doors, and system installations
• 2024–2025 – Interior build-out, testing, and commissioning

The hangar incorporates multiple energy- and safety-focused innovations, aligning with federal sustainability goals and life-cycle cost reductions. Building automation systems enable real-time diagnostics and efficient operations, while low-VOC materials promote occupant health. Water management is handled via on-site treatment systems and spill containment infrastructure. High-efficiency lighting and air controls reduce energy use across all facility zones. These systems contribute to environmental performance while ensuring compliance with rigorous DoD and EPA standards.

This facility strengthens the defense infrastructure of the western United States and supports military readiness at a strategic level. It brings skilled construction and maintenance roles to the local economy and contributes to long-term job stability. In collaboration with Thompson Builders Corp., the project illustrates the value of well-executed federal investment in high-impact infrastructure. Its regional presence enhances air logistics responsiveness while contributing to national mission goals. The hangar is a lasting asset that embodies operational excellence, resilience, and innovation.
