Project :

In 2008, our clients, Lufthansa Technik and the government of Malta, awarded PEG S.E.A .and PEG S.E.A. with the

contract for the complete construction of a aircraft docking system for the maintenance of the Lufthansa's fleet in Europe.

Erection - Commissioning

 

Hangar Foundation

PEG S.E.A.’s first steps in building the new Lufthansa Malta MRO facility involved laying concrete slabs which the hangar would be built on.

 

Concrete Slabing

Extensive concrete slabing had to be laid to establish a solid foundation for the erection works of the docks and hangar to commence.

Hangar Assembly

PEG S.E.A. in conjunction with Reid Steel assembled the Hangar over a short period of time. The pictures

show construction of the hangars rear wall and the inner steel construction.

Complete Hangar

he completed hangar and concrete slabing can be seen in this picture, including the erection equipment used for the PEG’s MRO facility.

Dock Erection

PEG S.E.A. delegated a team of experts to start the erection of the Docks in Malta while Hangar works were still on going to save time and be able to deliver on time and on budget.

Dock Erection

Multiple parts of the project had been shipped in pre-assembled by the workshop, to save the clients time and expenses.

A pre assembled Nose dock can bee seen here being transported to the hangars.

At  this stage of the project, different steps have been taken in engineering and purchasing such as:

● Conceptual design of the installation

● Static calculation

● Detail design and workshop drawings of the steel structure

● Basic electrical engineering

In the meantime, PEG is coordinating their work with the construction/design of the hangar.

For this project, discussions began in the middle of 2007, however, the final contract has been signed in January 2008. In order to cope with the shift initially scheduled for October 2008, PEG S.E.A. has mobilized their teams to carry out this project in the best conditions.
