TxAeroSport Aerodrome
Dorchester, TX

Completed in June
2006, AeRooke Services LLC in Celina, TX, formed and
erected multiple arched truss buildings in sizes of
5,200 sq. ft. and 7,200 sq. ft. N. Rooke Everill,
also of Celina, designed the buildings using 7,200
sq. ft. of PBR through-fastener roof panels from
MBCI. The Houston, TX, manufacturer formed the
panels using 26-gauge Galvalume steel with a Blue
finish. MBCI also manufactured 6,000 sq. ft. of
Polar White-colored, 26-gauge Galvalume steel
exposed-fastener wall panels. The panels were
installed by Metal Systems Inc., Irving, TX.
Well Bilt Industries,
Williston, FL, custom manufactured three steel
rolling door systems for the hangars. One door,
measuring 80’ x 17’6", is an eight-leaf bi-parting
system. The other two are six-leaf bi-parting
systems measuring 60’ x 17’6". All three doors were
constructed of bottom beam 4" S and C components,
with top beams and vertical stiles of 4" x 2" x
11-gauge tubing. The interior supports were 4" x 2"
x 14-gauge tubing. The door systems included top
guide systems and bottom tracks, EPDM weatherseals
for the bottoms and sides, and Seal-Eze track
brushes for the leading edges.
An expansion has
already been planned for this facility. Phase I will
include 56 hangars, while Phase II will have 40 more
buildings.
