AVIATION
Engineered Support Equipment for Aviation Operations
Aviation operations depend on far more than aircraft alone.
Airports, maintenance organisations, ground-handling companies, defence operators and specialist aviation contractors require reliable infrastructure to support maintenance, logistics, electrical systems, refrigeration, storage and ground operations.
Simmonds Equipment designs and supplies transportable industrial equipment and modular infrastructure suitable for aviation support applications.
Our role is not to manufacture aircraft or aviation systems. We engineer the workshops, equipment shelters, transport structures, storage units and integrated packages that allow specialist aviation equipment to be safely transported, protected, operated and maintained.
Supporting Aviation Infrastructure
Aviation facilities often require specialist infrastructure that can be installed quickly, relocated when necessary and adapted around customer-selected equipment.
Potential applications include:
• Airport maintenance facilities
• Ground-support equipment workshops
• Airfield electrical buildings
• Equipment shelters
• Temporary airport infrastructure
• Remote airfield support
• Hangar support facilities
• Logistics and cargo operations
• Emergency response facilities
• Aviation training infrastructure
Modular construction can significantly reduce site installation work while allowing a high level of factory completion before delivery.
Maintenance Workshops and Equipment Buildings
Aircraft and ground-support equipment require secure, well-organised facilities for inspection, repair and maintenance.
Simmonds Equipment can provide:
• Modular maintenance workshops
• Tool rooms
• Equipment stores
• Mobile repair facilities
• Battery-maintenance rooms
• Component-cleaning areas
• Electrical workshops
• Ground-support equipment buildings
• Maintenance control rooms
• Spare-parts containers
Units can be fitted with electrical systems, lighting, HVAC, workbenches, storage, lifting provisions and customer-specified equipment.
Electrical and Control Infrastructure
Airports and aviation facilities rely on extensive electrical and control systems.
Our modular-building capability can support:
• Electrical equipment buildings
• Airfield-lighting control rooms
• Switchgear buildings
• Relay and control rooms
• Generator enclosures
• Uninterruptible power-supply rooms
• Battery-system enclosures
• Communications equipment shelters
• Monitoring and security buildings
• Auxiliary utility buildings
Buildings can be designed around equipment supplied by the customer or its nominated electrical-system provider.
Ground-Support Equipment
Ground operations require equipment that is practical to transport, handle and deploy.
Our engineering capability can support:
• Generator transport frames
• Compressor packages
• Pump packages
• Mobile power systems
• Equipment skids
• Tool and maintenance containers
• Fuel-system support structures
• Ground-equipment shelters
• Lifting and handling frames
• Custom transport units
Purpose-designed structures protect valuable equipment while simplifying movement between sites.
Temperature-Controlled and Refrigerated Equipment
Aviation operations can involve temperature-sensitive cargo, catering supplies, pharmaceuticals and specialist materials.
Potential solutions include:
• Refrigerated cargo containers
• Catering cold stores
• Pharmaceutical storage
• Medical-supply refrigeration
• Temperature-controlled equipment rooms
• Laboratory storage
• Specialist chemical storage
• Controlled-temperature logistics units
• Mobile refrigeration systems
Systems can be configured around the required temperature range, monitoring arrangements, power supply and transport method.
Aviation Cargo and Logistics
Air cargo operators frequently require specialist containers and handling structures for equipment that cannot be accommodated within conventional transport systems.
We can develop:
• Special-purpose cargo containers
• Machinery transport frames
• Vehicle and equipment transport systems
• Collapsible logistics units
• Secure storage containers
• Dangerous-goods containers
• High-value equipment transport units
• Custom lifting frames
• Intermodal transport systems
Our approach considers road, rail, sea and air logistics where appropriate, allowing transportability to be engineered into the equipment from the beginning.
Remote and Temporary Airfield Support
Remote airfields, temporary operations and infrastructure-development projects frequently require rapidly deployable facilities.
Suitable modular solutions may include:
• Site offices
• Workshops
• Refrigerated stores
• Electrical rooms
• Medical units
• Accommodation-support buildings
• Generator packages
• Water-storage systems
• Secure equipment stores
• Emergency-response modules
Factory-integrated equipment reduces installation requirements and can simplify deployment to challenging locations.
Special Projects and Confidential Applications
Some aviation projects require additional commercial discretion and controlled information handling.
Simmonds Equipment can engage directly with customers to develop specialist equipment where public disclosure of the project, application or end user is inappropriate.
Project information, drawings and technical requirements can be managed on a confidential basis subject to agreed contractual and information-security arrangements.
