The construction of a new aeronautical hangar for La Seu d’Urgell Airfield involved working in a unique setting with significant technical challenges. The project required addressing the difficulties associated with mountain climate conditions and the logistical particularities of the location, while ensuring compliance with the demanding functional and dimensional requirements of an aeronautical facility.
The project consisted of the construction of a long-span lightweight metal structure with industrialised enclosures adapted to the mountain climate. The access points, resolved through large sliding doors, together with planning focused on functionality and maintenance, allowed for an efficient and respectful integration into the surrounding environment.

-
Functional and multipurpose hangar
We built a hangar capable of meeting the operational and technical needs of the facility – a versatile space designed for aircraft and their associated maintenance services.
-
Lightweight structure
Lightweight, long-span metal structure optimised to cover wide areas without intermediate columns.
-
Landscape integration and environmental respect
The construction of the hangar in the middle of a natural setting was carried out harmoniously, minimising both visual and environmental impact.
An aeronautical hangar in a unique setting
- The work was executed in a mountain environment with limited access and complex climatic and logistical constraints.
A lightweight and sustainable building
- The long-span lightweight metal structure is complemented by lightweight, industrialised enclosures that are easy to assemble and adapted to the climate of the area.
A space prepared for the present and future of the airfield
- Our technical team – specialised in industrialised and lightweight structures – carried out a project characterised by a metal structure designed for disassembly and reuse, enabling future expansion or adaptation without complex interventions.
