Private Hangar – Stansted Airport

Overview

MEC Commercial Solutions was commissioned to design and install a new gas heating and ventilation system at a prestigious private hangar located at Stansted Airport. The hangar is home to a range of high-value aircraft, including privately owned and celebrity jets, making precision, safety, and discretion critical throughout the project.

Our Approach

Given the sensitive nature of the environment, our team coordinated closely with site management to ensure all work was carried out around aircraft operations with minimal disruption. We implemented strict safety and access protocols to maintain compliance with airport regulations and protect high-value assets.

Our engineers installed efficient gas heating and ventilation systems designed to maintain consistent temperatures within the large hangar space, essential for both aircraft maintenance and personnel comfort. The system was built with durability, energy efficiency, and ease of control in mind, tailored to meet the specific requirements of the aviation environment.

Key Challenges

• Working around active aircraft, including celebrity-owned planes, required flexible scheduling and heightened care.
• Maintaining airport security and operational compliance at all times.
• Ensuring system reliability and even heat distribution in a large, open-space environment.

Outcome

The completed installation delivered a robust, efficient heating and ventilation solution that meets the demanding conditions of the aviation sector. The project was completed on time, with all safety and quality standards met or exceeded.
