ARCON — Rapid-deployment hangar

A modular hangar system that provides large clear-span coverage for demanding operations — deployable in days, without civil works or heavy equipment, and reusable across multiple sites.

What it solves

Operational coverage without the time and cost of permanent construction.

Permanent hangar construction requires civil works, extended lead times, fixed foundations and significant capital expenditure — constraints that are incompatible with expeditionary operations, AOG response, temporary base infrastructure, or rapid industrial deployment. Conventional temporary structures rarely offer the clear spans, structural reliability or lifecycle serviceability required for aviation and defense operations.

The ARCON rapid-deployment hangar uses parallel low-pressure tubes as primary structural elements, forming a lightweight ribbed structure stabilized by controlled internal pressure. The system can be deployed without civil works or heavy equipment, transported in standard containers, and commissioned in days. Spans range from 20 to 75 metres of clear width, with bespoke configurations available for specific operational requirements.

Why TBO ARCON

Engineered for operations where conventional structures cannot go.

Portable and containerized

Low packed volume and lightweight components enable efficient transport and rapid deployment. An H-20 can be transported in a single standard 40-foot container. The full range is containerized in standard 20- and 40-foot containers, deployable in days without heavy equipment.

Validated through in-house engineering

Each hangar is developed under the supervision of a specialised engineering team using advanced modelling, in-house finite element analysis, and virtual wind tunnel simulation. Structural behaviour under wind and snow loads is evaluated for every project configuration.

Modular and expandable

The system can be extended on a temporary or permanent basis to increase covered area. If individual tubes are damaged, adjacent tubes redistribute the load — maintaining structural continuity. Configurations support maintenance, AOG response, aircraft recovery, and partial coverage for engine replacement operations.

Lifecycle cost efficiency

The integrated project scope covers design, manufacturing, foundation, installation, dismantling and operation. Limited foundation requirements, high resistance to wind and snow loads, and maintenance adaptable to each operating profile result in a lower total cost of ownership versus permanent construction for temporary or mobile operations.

Product Range

Five clear-span configurations. One structural system.

From the 20-metre H-20 for helicopter operations to the 75-metre H-75 for wide-body fleet maintenance, every ARCON hangar shares the same parallel-tube structural system — transportable in standard containers and deployable in days without civil works or heavy equipment.
