The Royal Malaysian Air Force needed new doors of 108m wide by 18m high, opening into a slot between the outer two trusses for their new MRO hangars. The doors needed...

Once steelwork...

Our design team worked under the constraint that this new extension was to be constructed on top of the existing apron which could only accept shallow excavations. This led us to recommend the use of an electrically operated fabric curtain door from Megadoor - a five curtain...
