Building services consultancy Tate Consulting has completed mechanical and electrical design services on the ‘Domus III’ hangar at Farnborough Airport.

Tate Consulting was appointed by Farnborough Airport and architecture practice, Gebler Tooth, which designed the £55 million, 175,000 sq ft building.

Tate Consulting worked on features including translucent automated doors that run the entire building length, an intelligent lighting system, symphonic rainwater harvesting, eco-friendly heating and integrated building control and energy monitoring to ensure optimal energy usage.

This latest hangar project follows Tate Consulting working with Gebler Tooth on another 225,000 sq ft MRO hanger for Gulfstream that can accommodate up to 13 aircraft. The facility, which is also at Farnborough Airport, opened in 2020.

Ray Cavanagh, director from Tate Consulting, said: “Aviation is now a big growth area for us as we establish an impressive portfolio of pioneering projects in the sector, which we’re looking forward to building on further and we’re already discussing several other projects with architects and specifiers on airport projects throughout the UK and beyond.”
