BASTIAN MITCHELL HANGAR

The Bastian and Mitchell Hanger project, built for the Non-Flood Protection Asset Management Authority,
included the new construction of 42,000 square foot aviation hangars located in New Orleans, Louisiana. The
facility houses two hangers destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and supports an office building and transportation
center. The aviation hangers were constructed utilizing reinforced steel pile caps, grade beams, floor slabs, and
concrete. The project also features upgraded utility systems for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning as well
as lighting and electrical power distributions. Fire alarms, security, access control, and data/telecommunications
systems completed the construction. Fire protection strategies incorporated wet pipes, foam fire suppression,
fire water pumps powered by two diesel engines, and two 40,000-gallon storage tanks to compensate for an
insufficient municipal water supply to the hangers. Due to CORE’s rebuilding and restoration efforts, the Bastian
and Mitchell Hanger project effectively reestablished aviation operations to the Lakefront Airport.
