Seattle Aerospace Manufacturing Facility
180,000 sq ft precision painting with zero production downtime
Get Similar QuoteProject Overview
A major aerospace manufacturer in Seattle needed to update their 180,000 square foot production facility while maintaining continuous aircraft component manufacturing operations. The project required specialized cleanroom painting protocols and coordination with precision manufacturing schedules.
This project presented unique challenges: maintaining FAA-compliant cleanroom standards during painting, coordinating around $2 billion in active aircraft orders, and applying specialized coatings that could withstand the Pacific Northwest's marine climate while meeting aerospace industry specifications.
