JMT designed the replacement of the mechanical and electrical components associated with the cantilevered overhead hangar doors for Hangar Nos. 1-6 at Martin State Airport.  Some of the more interesting elements of this design effort were:

• The design was unique in that the doors were initially constructed in 1939, requiring significant research into the door operation and available drive mechanisms to operate the doors.
• Due to the age of the existing doors and the drive mechanism, lead-based paint was present and was required to be abated prior to the renovations.
• JMT coordinated with the Hazardous Materials subconsultant to initiate the investigation and prepare the bidding documents for the removal of the lead paint.
• JMT recommended and developed a two-part procurement process to assure that the construction contractor understood and could meet the needs of the specialty nature of the door system.
