Industrial engineering / Infrastructures / Detailed design and site management (2010 - 2014)
As part of various actions to modernise the Morón de la Frontera air base, the project consists of the design of a building that includes a hangar, offices and a fire station, as well as the remodelling and extension of the warehouse. The hangar should have sufficient capacity to house 12 Eurofighter EF-200 aircraft and the necessary facilities to carry out maintenance operations. Its size allows for the parking of aircraft and their movement within the hangar.
The office facilities are divided in such a way that the programme management and production control department is located on the upper floor and the workshops on the ground floor.
The fire station has a surface area of 1,500 m² and houses a vehicle workshop area, living units, administrative facilities for the hospital, communications and alarm systems, among other facilities.
The warehouse has been extended by approximately 2,400 m². In order to achieve greater storage capacity, a paved area of 6,000 m² has been fitted out on an adjacent plot, in order to optimise the distribution between the different areas and stored items.
