Fabric Buildings for Aviation—It’s All About The Ground Support
Supporting the aviation industry with hangars, cargo storage and maintenance facilities has created some great opportunities for Legacy. The industry is constantly innovating, and our engineers love the challenge of precisely meeting customers’ needs with fully customized structures. Our work in aviation also complements the projects we do for the military sector.
We offer very strong structures that will stand up to wind, weather and seismic conditions. Our clearspan engineering can give you very wide structures (more than 300 feet) without central supports that obstruct movement.

Testimonials
Legacy Building Solutions has given Solar Ship more than just a state-of-the-art hangar and assembly building.
Through our close collaboration, their design incorporates a self-reliant photovoltaic power package that sits above the fabric roof, allowing our building operations to be entirely off-grid. In addition, Legacy’s foundation design allowed us to re-use an existing concrete pad, saving us time and money during construction. These innovations were part of our top-level requirements, and delivering on them really sets Legacy apart from the traditional building segment.

Legacy was one of the only companies that could construct to that height.
We needed a structure this big to be able to do maintenance inside, and we needed something we could erect quickly and meet all our requirements. Legacy was one of the only companies that could construct to that height.
Jason Berzansky
US Steel
Legacy was the only one that could do a two-stepped building.
Legacy was the only one that could do a two-stepped building, so we could have a high part in front …and then have it stepped down, so we stay out of the clearance zone.
