Projects

Bristol was responsible for the design build of a 52,500-square-foot aircraft maintenance hangar and ancillary facilities on Fort Wainwright, Alaska for USACE Alaska District. The hangar houses aircraft (primarily Blackhawk and Chinook helicopters) for the 68th Medical Company, which provides air ambulance services to civilians throughout the Alaska Interior. 

The hangar design included a multi-building complex with a separate utility structure, water storage, and aircraft washrack, as well as training rooms, and weapons and parts storage—in addition to the hangar itself. The Bristol design team offered significant betterments that improved working and operational conditions. The hangar is steel-framed with block partition walls including three aircraft Megadoors® and two levels of administrative spaces for four military companies. Special features include an industrial exhaust system, anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP) access control, an oil collection system, and covered loading capabilities.
