As Sain’s Aviation Lead, I am excited to share with you some of our recent projects with Yulista and how we extend our expertise to provide top-notch airport design services.
M6 Yulista Hangar Concrete Apron & Taxiway at the Huntsville Executive Airport
One of our standout projects was the construction of a 124,000 square foot, 9-inch-thick concrete apron for the Yulista Maintenance Repair and Operations (MRO) M6 Hangar. The project also included a 500 ft. extension of an existing taxiway to connect the new apron. This project, which started in May 2020 and was completed in March 2021, was a testament to our team’s dedication and engineering prowess.
We handled all administrative communications with the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), ensuring that all regulatory requirements were impeccably met. The project included the installation of 9,780 linear feet of P-605 joint sealing material over backer rod, in strict accordance with FAA standards. The joints were meticulously cleaned prior to installing the backer rod and sealing material, ensuring a durable and long-lasting finish. The concrete apron is poised to serve Yulista and the Huntsville Executive Airport’s needs for many years to come.
Additionally, we implemented a dual panel security gate system equipped with access control card readers, enhancing the overall security infrastructure. Due to the grading requirements for the project, a portion of the fencing was installed atop a 12-foot-tall retaining wall, which showcased our ability to adapt and innovate in complex environments.
M7 Yulista MRO Hangar at the Huntsville Executive Airport
Another noteworthy project is the civil design for the 30,000 square foot MRO hangar. For this project, we designed and are providing construction oversight for the additional employee parking and approximately 1,500 linear feet of security fencing, adhering to the stringent requirements of FAA 150/5360-10H, Class D fencing standards. This project is presently under construction with an anticipated completion date of July 2025.
