Engineered for Efficiency: The Gold Standard in Maintenance Facility Construction 

The Weitz Company is Leading the Way in Maintenance Facility Construction without Exception to Quality and Budget

When it comes to building, expanding, or renovating maintenance facilities, especially in active, operational environments, our team knows downtime isn’t an option. That’s why we work together with our clients and stakeholders from day one to ensure that construction never disrupts essential operations. We start this early, leveraging our Preconstruction Team to engage stakeholders from the start, so we’re able to identify challenges before they become issues and develop solutions tailored to the facility’s unique needs. Our integrated approach ensures that every maintenance facility we deliver is built to perform today and adaptable for tomorrow. 

SFO Superbay Hangar – San Francisco International Airport

Originally built in 1969, the SFO Superbay Hangar is one of four hangars in the United States that can fully house four 747 Aircrafts. The Superbay Hangar is a fully operational, 24/7 facility used by both American Airlines and United-Continental Airlines for essential aircraft maintenance and safety inspections. This hangar features four maintenance bays, six levels of office space, and a centrally located workshop. 

A comprehensive fire suppression system protects all areas of the building. The sixth floor, along with the exterior pumphouse, contains all the critical equipment supporting this system. In 2019, Weitz executed a complete replacement of the fire suppression system at the Superbay Hangar, providing end-to-end delivery that included programming, design, construction, and commissioning. The result was a modern, code-compliant fire protection system tailored to the unique operational demands of the facility. This project underscores Weitz’s expertise in executing high-performance infrastructure upgrades and reinforces our reputation as a trusted partner for both new construction and complex system replacement projects. 

PHX Sky Train Maintenance & Storage Facility – Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport

The PHX Sky Train Maintenance and Storage Facility was originally built by Weitz in 2012. After ten years of operation, Weitz successfully expanded the PHX Sky Train system in 2022 by adding 2.3 miles of guideway, a 30,000 SF expansion to the Maintenance and Storage Facility, and additional yard track. It now includes new maintenance bays, a workshop, technician office space, full compressed air systems, improved air conditioning, and a water-efficient train wash that reuses 70% of its water. Delivered under a design-build contract, the project was completed on schedule and optimized for long-term performance and efficiency. 

This project enhances the airport’s automated train operations and increases overall system capacity to meet growing transit demands.  

Peoria Fleet Maintenance – City of Peoria

The City of Peoria is replacing its aging fleet maintenance facility with a new 46,631 SF complex at the Municipal Operations Center, set to complete in January 2026. Designed for 15–20 mechanics, the facility will include 25 service bays, office and training space, tire and parts storage, and employee amenities. 

During design, the team provided scheduling, constructability reviews, cost estimating, and value engineering to ensure a functional, efficient, and cost-effective solution for the city’s growing fleet needs.

Weitz’s extensive experience in maintenance facility construction, especially within active, high-demand environments, sets us apart. Our teams bring unmatched expertise and precision to leverage phased construction strategies, secure work zones, and clear communication protocols that prioritize safety and efficiency without compromising ongoing facility use. 

From preconstruction through final turnover, we prioritize collaboration, precision, and performance. Whether it’s minimizing disruptions to daily operations or delivering custom-built features that support long-term functionality, our team is committed to building facilities that work as hard as the people who use them. When you need a partner who understands the complexity and importance of these projects, we’re ready to deliver.
