Hong Kong-based aviation services provider Metrojet reached a construction milestone last week in the development of its new aircraft hangar and maintenance facility in the Philippines, with the completion of the stressed arch roof framework of the 75,347-sq-ft hangar. The technology employed in the roof’s structure has been designed to meet the highest international standards for typhoon and seismic loadings. Known for its stiffness, durability, and cost efficiencies, the stressed arch design has been used in more than 100 hangars around the world.
