Durability, Strength, Safety.
Year after year, billions of insurance dollars are lost to replace damage done to expensive aircraft and the metal hangars designed to protect them.  Metal and/or steel structures virtually peel away with high wind loads, causing extensive damage.

Oldcastle Precast Inc., provider of Duratek's® U.S. Patent Pending No. 61/169,585 precast concrete construction of airplane hangars creates a safe, durable haven to protect your personnel and aircraft equipment.  The peace of mind and protection to equipment provide a potent marketing asset when attracting long term occupants or lessees.

A precast concrete wall of our patented hangar can withstand 180 MPH wind loads, something our metal competition cannot effectively achieve.
FACT: Concrete has been recorded in existence as long ago as 7000BC.  It was used by Ancient Egyptians and the Romans used it to build the Colosseum and Hadrian's wall.  Throughout history, concrete has proven itself to be a most flexible and durable construction material.

While seemingly economical at bid time, metal buildings are designed to flex and bend under pressure of the wind - weakening the thin, "code-minimum" material during each storm.  The structure specified and paid for quickly begins a cycle of deterioration, and requires considerable maintenance just to keep it "looking new"... but the damage remains.  Once the shell is weakened or damaged, the entire structure becomes unstable... with predictable consequences.  The result:  loss of revenue for several years, current costs for replacement, aircraft damage or loss, increased insurance costs or cancellations, among others.

We propose that an aircraft hangar should not be limited to simple "code minimum" design philosophy.  The structure should reflect the best available construction methodology available to protect the valuable assets within.  The result:  a specialized system incorporating solid precast concrete walls and roof members designed to withstand the forces of nature for generations to come; with only a fractional increase in up-front cost consistent with inherent value and overwhelming long-term savings. All the additional products offered by Oldcastle Precast, Inc., provider of Duratek®, including sound barrier walls, safe harbor marinas and precast homes offer the same long-term quality and value.
