CONSTRUCTION-DEFECT PLAINTIFF LITIGATORS — ARE YOUR HANGAR RETROFITS PREPARED FOR THESE STRUCTURAL RISKS?
5 Key Structural Oversights in Aircraft/Spacecraft Hangar Retrofit Projects for Construction-Defect Plaintiff Litigators
Aircraft and spacecraft hangar retrofits involve unique structural challenges, including massive clear-span framing, oversized doors, high wind exposure, fire-related risks, corrosion, and heavily loaded foundation slabs. Pasted text
Thermal movement, column base corrosion, expansion joint distress, demolition-induced instability, and slab or subgrade issues can create significant construction-defect and structural performance concerns.

Steel Thermal Movement Restraint – Member Material Deterioration
Column Base Corrosion
Expansion Joint Distress – Reinforced Concrete Slabs
Demolition-Induced Instability
Slab Cracking and Subgrade Issues
These five points highlight key structural blind spots that Construction-Defect Plaintiff Litigators should consider when evaluating aircraft and spacecraft hangar retrofit projects.
