The Felbermayr Group erected the steel skeleton for a new hangar at Schwechat Airport in Vienna using five Liebherr mobile cranes. The heaviest single component weighed in at 190 tonnes – a gigantic truss some 100 meters in length.
A new maintenance building for business jets is currently being built at Schwechat (Vienna) Airport. The work on the massive skeleton for the building was completed by Austrian crane and heavy load contractor Felbermayr. Five Liebherr mobile cranes erected the 100 meter construction working in a team. The main roles in the work were carried out by an LTM 1400-7.1 and an LTM 1350-6.1. In a tandem hoist these two mobile cranes raised the 101 meter long and 190-ton truss for the hangar building. The three smaller Liebherr mobile cranes were used to position and install the cross and connecting elements. A total of 800 tons of steel were used to form the skeleton for the future hangar.
