The cubic hangar, seen here at Münster (Westfalia), is most efficient when high and low-wing aircrafts stand side-by-side and provides unheated, condensation-free, dry hangar space for eight to nine aircraft.

The ALTO circular carousel hangar fits eight aircraft, needs only a small taxiway and permanently avoids hangar rash.

This JETring (seen here at Egelsbach) has 30m in diameter and carries four to five jets with 10t MTOW; the hangar's wooden construction and larch sheeting was delivered upon customer request.

AvTurf synthetic turf technology provides enhanced airport safety.

AvTurf® is the perfect choice for addressing hazards associated with natural airport groundcover synthetic turf.

AvTurf synthetic turf stabilizes runway and taxiway shoulders, preventing the erosion of natural groundcover and the effects of jet blast.

AvTurf prevents the creation of FOD from jet blast, and makes their collection easier.

Covering runway safety areas and infield islands with AvTurf creates a stable area for inadvertent entry by aircraft.


CoStruct is a market leader in the design and build of affordable, fast-track semi-permanent and temporary aircraft hangars and associated airport buildings.

Designed to withstand extreme wind and snow loads, the relocatable hangar can be anchored directly to the apron without the need for foundations.

The temporary steel and fabric structure provides an ideal low cost in-house maintenance base, reducing third party costs. The main hangar door is suspended from the space frame, which makes the hangar truly portable.

The relocatable buildings can be provided as a simple aircraft shelter or be fitted out with high output sodium hangar lighting and comprehensive electrical installation, provided under a turnkey contract.

Pre-engineered airport buildings can provide temporary or permanent cover for passenger departure and arrival halls, baggage handling areas, air cargo buildings and warehousing, as well as all-weather cover for ground support equipment.


Large terminal complexes need a technical fit-out that facilitates smooth operations, passengers' comfort, building safety and high-level security. Deerns can help you to create that environment.

The key problem in a terminal is often the handling of bags. Deerns can help you to solve that problem with state-of-the-art baggage handling systems.

The fit-out of Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities is a complex of various systems of different suppliers. Deerns can specify the performance requirements and do the system integration.

Airfield Ground Lighting systems should be reliable, energy-efficient and maintenance-free. Deerns has the expertise to achieve these requirements.
