Turkish Aerospace Hanger

TAI (F-16) Picture.

This is Turkish Aerospace facilities where Turkish F-16's are manufactured. We built three industrial buildings at this facility. The complete roof of the main building spans an area of 165 metres by 90 metres. (3 x 30 metres width and 11 * 15 metres length). However, these are very special buildings and the roof carries many elements such as ducts, climate control sensors, sprinklers, lighting, etc. Since it is at a height of 15 metres, to position those elements once the roof is built, means workers must work at a height of 15 metres, i.e. 5 story building.

We came up with the idea that the roof could be manufactured and assembled on the ground and everything fixed on it on the ground and then lifted as a single item to final height with hydraulic jacks positioned on each column. This would mean increased productivity and safety. And we did it !

Although the completed building pictures do not show it, the roof was lifted exactly like that. Multiframe was used to study the forces and auxiliary structures needed to use this method, and was a valuable tool in this study and very important in the success of this method.


 

Glass Factory

Turkish Bottle and Glass Industries 3rd Float Glass Factory :

The picture shows two portal cranes in the background. One of them is red, the other is yellow. They have 80 m span and 40 m height and lift 15 tons from the center. Since tower cranes which span circles were not optimum for manipulating concrete, re-bar and steel over a series of continuous industrial buildings which are rectangular in geometry, we wanted to have two portal cranes which can reach any co-ordinate on these buildings. However, the span was a problem, because at such distances the cranes can be rather heavy. We used Multiframe to optimize those two portal cranes, and were able to make them very light and saved quite a bit of money and time this way.


 

Grain Handling System

Turkish Material Office, Port Grain Handling Systems, Conveyors, etc

This was a design and build contract. All of the steel support construction of the conveyors, (seen on the right in the picture, the crane unloads from the ship onto the conveyor to transport the goods inland), were designed using Multiframe. Some of the conveyors were quite difficult to position (long spans over water, etc). Overall about 2000 tons of complicated lattice support structure was designed with Multiframe.
