FMG intends to carry out a renovation of the shed roof glazing (sloping glazing) of the aircraft maintenance building Hangar 4, at Munich Airport, maintenance avenue. According to the budgeting, the renovation measure is to start in spring 2024 and be carried out by the end of 2025.

The hall roof of Hangar 4 has a rectangular floor plan and an area of approx. 13,0000 m². The flat roof has an approximate height above ground of approx. 32m.

The roof area is divided in the southern area by an approx. 153m long, continuous light strip. In the southern area of the continuous line is the maintenance corridor.

The scope of the renovation includes the continuous lighting in the south-facing roof area.

The continuous-row has a gable roof shape with glass surfaces inclined approx. 42° horizontally over a rectangular floor plan. On an approx. 7 m wide base, the approx. 6 m (glass length) high glass surfaces span a triangle with a height of approx. 9 m. The continuous line has a total length of approx. 153m, and ends with a closed vertical ceramic façade. In total, this results in a glass area of approx. 950m².

The ridge of the continuous row is made of an insulated sheet metal construction, which at the same time cladding the end beam of the main supporting structure. The ridge is located at a height of approx. 37m.

At the eaves of the continuous rooflight, the sealing of the flat roof is connected to the continuous roof.

The building is located in the security area of the airport, and is currently used by an airline as a maintenance hangar for regular maintenance and repair of aircraft. During the construction period, the airline will clear the hall so that the work can be carried out undisturbed. The surrounding buildings, including the adjacent office extensions, are in regular operation, in some cases around the clock. There is operational traffic on the roads around the building. To the south of the hall is the apron.

Previous findings and deficiencies:

- Slipping glass panes and glass breakage

- Water between the glass panes

- Insufficient fastening of the glass panes and damaged seals

The restructuring measure will include, among others, the following services:

- Construction site equipment and safety measures

- Dismantling of the existing glazing including substructure

- Installation of the new glazing incl. substructure

- Tinsmith work

The aim of the project is to produce a functional and durable new shed roof glazing in accordance with the generally accepted rules of technology, with the aim of finding the most economical solution possible for implementation and building maintenance.
