Epoxy Flooring for Grand Prairie Hangars
Grand Prairie Municipal Airport, on South Great Southwest Parkway, has 227 individual Thangars, a 4,000-foot concrete runway and a helipad, and several helicopter operators work from the field. That puts a cluster of hangar floors in one place unlike anything else in the city: rows of singleaircraft bays, plus larger helicopter spaces where aircraft are serviced, towed out and towed back in every working day. Each of those floors is a separate, enclosed scope.
A hangar slab takes tire turns under load, tug and tow-bar traffic, and drips of oil, hydraulic fluid and fuel. Epoxy under a heavier, fluid-resistant topcoat is the usual request for that mix, often in a light color so leaks and dropped hardware stand out. Which topcoat suits a given bay depends on what is stored and serviced in it, and that gets settled at the walk.
From our Garland shop, the drive to Grand Prairie City Hall runs about 40 minutes and 32 miles on I-635, and the airport sits roughly three miles southwest of downtown, so the run is longer still. One T-hangar is a small floor for that drive. Several bays in the same row, coated on back-to-back days, spread the travel and the setup across more floors.
