Hangar properties need more than just the floor and apron. Crew access walks, GPU and tug equipment pads, fuel handling zones with spill containment, service-truck pavement for maintenance bays. Laval Concrete plans all site concrete as one integrated system so elevations, drainage, and material specs work together across the property. Free written estimate included.
A functioning hangar property has multiple concrete zones beyond the main floor and apron. Crew sidewalks must meet code and transition smoothly to the apron; GPU and tug pads need to support heavy equipment loads and shed water properly; fuel handling areas require engineered drainage to containment systems per aviation environmental code; service pavement for maintenance vehicles must handle daily traffic without cracking or settling.
When these scopes are planned separately, elevations don't match, drainage paths conflict, and different trades create misaligned joints and poor transitions. We treat the entire site as one concrete system from the estimate stage, with all elevations, drainage, and material specifications coordinated so the work integrates seamlessly.
We walk the hangar property with your operations team, identify every concrete area (crew walks, equipment pads, fuel zones, service pavement, ramps), and map them against the site plan with existing elevations and drainage.
Design each scope to its spec
Crew walks are engineered to code; equipment pads are sized for load and drainage; fuel areas are designed with hydrocarbon-resistant sealers and containment per environmental code. All scopes are then integrated so elevations and drainage work across the entire site.
Schedule around flight operations
The install sequence respects your operational reality. No work during peak flight times, no closures of critical access routes, and all trades are coordinated so the concrete work runs without conflicts or delays.
Deliver as-built records and compliance docs
At handoff, you receive as-built drawings, material specifications, and any environmental compliance documentation. These records support facility audits and future maintenance planning.
Environmental compliance
Fuel Zone Concrete Requires Specialized Design
Fuel handling areas (refueling pads, tank farm concrete, fueler vehicle staging) must have engineered drainage to spill containment, hydrocarbon-resistant sealers, and joint details that prevent fuel from migrating into soil. Environmental compliance is as critical as structural engineering. We design to current aviation environmental code and provide documentation that supports regulatory review.
Walks, pads, fuel zones, and facility-wide coordination.
Both. Many projects scope multiple site-concrete items under one project plan; some scope a single item (GPU pad, fuel area replacement). The coordination benefit grows with scope; we recommend bundling related work when timing allows.
Hydrocarbon-resistant sealers, engineered drainage to spill containment, joint details that prevent fuel migration, and documentation that supports environmental review. The aviation environmental code drives the spec; we work to current code.
Yes, that is most of what aviation facility work requires. We schedule around flight operations, fueler movements, and any restricted-access zones. The project plan includes operational coordination from quote stage.
Yes, we plan elevations and joints at every tie-in so new and existing concrete meet flush without future issues. Drainage paths are coordinated across the transition.
From several weeks for a few coordinated scopes to multi-month projects for facility-wide upgrades. The schedule is built around aviation operations; the full timeline is in the quote.

What Laval Hangar Operators Say About Site Concrete Work
Sidewalks, GPU pad, fuel area drainage, all coordinated in one project. Elevations matched, drainage works, no trade conflicts. The coordination is what made it work.

★★★★★
Fuel area replacement with full environmental documentation. The compliance file passed regulatory review on the first pass. The documentation work was as valuable as the concrete.
Y. C5
Hangar Facility Manager, Montreal
★★★★★
Multiple scopes phased around our flight operations. Crew flexibility was real, no closures during peak times, all scopes completed on schedule. Real aviation awareness.
Q. C5
Airport Maintenance Director, Terrebonne
★★★★★
They proposed bundling our planned sidewalk replacement with our new GPU pad install. Single project, lower cost, cleaner result. Smart suggestion that saved real money.
