Pivot-Lock Flys For Military Air Base
November 23, 2004
|
A recently completed project utilizing the Porta-King Pivot-Lock™ modular building system provides safety, comfort and security for personnel inside a hangar located at a remote military air base.
The 24"x100" Pivot-Lock building was crated and flown to the remote destination as part of a turnkey project that included an aircraft parts retooling facility. The Pivot-Lock structure was intended to provide a cleaner more comfortable environment inside a hangar with large doors constantly opening and closing for incoming and outgoing aircraft.
Our customer identified several key concerns that would play a role in the system they would select for this project. Based upon our review of these criteria, we recommended and they accepted a two-story Pivot-Lock modular system with a section specifically designed to fit under the wings of cargo planes, which occupy the hangar. One of the main reasons for selecting Pivot-Lock were the outstanding load bearing characteristics of the 3" system when used for two-story buildings. Another important factor in their selection was the unique preframed panel design, which allows panels, including doors and windows, to simply snap together utilizing the "Pivot-Lock" connection method. This design meant far fewer pieces to inventory than other competitive systems, which was a big concern for such a large building shipping to this remote destination.
"The modular building took approximately 2 weeks to install," according to Gregg Pearlstone, Porta-King Vice-President, Sales. "Then the company was able to set up its retooling equipment in a protected environment. It"s a credit to the benefits of modular engineering that the building went up so quickly, with unquestioned, professional results."
