Schuff Steel

The historic restoration of the iconic Hangar 1 at Moffett Federal Airfield was recently completed, and Schuff Steel is proud to have been part of it. ✈️✨

Schuff Steel fabricated and erected 165 tons of retrofit steel to reinforce the structure while preserving as much of the original historical frame as possible. Working with historic materials and complex geometry, our team had to innovate at every turn, and nearly all structural components ended up requiring field fabrication as a result.

Our scope:
📋 Project Management
⚙️ Steel Detailing
👷 Steel Fabrication
🏗️ Steel Er****on
📐 BIM
🦺 Design-Assist

This project achieved a major safety milestone: over one million safe working hours across all trades with zero lost-time injuries. Schuff Steel’s Union Ironworkers from Locals 377 & 378 completed 100,000+ of those hours, performing complex ironwork at height inside a historic structure without a single lost-time incident. 🔩💪

Congratulations to the entire Schuff Steel team for their contributions to the restoration of this incredible aviation landmark. 🎉👷
