Imperial Nears Completion on the F-35 Repair Hangar at Building 1001
Imperial Construction & Electric is nearing completion of the F-35 Repair Hangar at Building 1001 for the Air National Guard in Jacksonville, Florida.
The work covers construction, modernization, and infrastructure improvements to Maintenance Hangar Building 1001 (B1001), carried out to support continued F-35 operational capability and mission readiness. The finished facility is intended to give the Guard a functional, secure, and maintainable environment for aircraft maintenance, mission support personnel, and the operational activities that run alongside them.
Project amount: $15,771,758.40
A hangar that maintains a fifth-generation fighter is not a shell with a door on it. The tolerances, the power, the life-safety systems, and the security requirements all have to land together, and they have to land on a site where the mission does not stop for the contractor. Modernizing an active maintenance facility means sequencing the work around aircraft operations rather than the other way around.
That combination — federal work, an active installation, aviation-grade systems, and self-performed electrical — is the profile Imperial is built for. It is also the kind of past performance that carries directly into the next solicitation.
Our thanks to the crews, subcontractors, and suppliers who put this one together, and to the Air National Guard team in Jacksonville for having us on the installation.
