Challenge

The hangar door had endured years of exposure to humidity, salt air, and tropical weather.

Rust had compromised the rollers and tracks, making the door so difficult to open that it required two to three people to operate. This was especially problematic because the hangar housed local emergency response aircraft, where quick access is critical.

Solution

After being contacted through the customer’s internal company directory, Vortex conducted a virtual job walk via FaceTime to assess the scope of work. Once approved, our crew traveled to the Cayman Islands for the restoration.

The project included:

  • Replacing severely corroded rollers and track components with new, high-quality parts.
  • Adjusting and fine-tuning the door system to ensure smooth, one-handed operation.
  • Applying a specialized corrosion-resistant polyurethane paint to the bottom track for long-term protection.
  • Adding cane bolts at full open to prevent the doors from closing due to wind.

Donald provided excellent service today! He knew right away how to go about fixing our door, replaced the piece in a timely manner, was considerate towards our clients as they walked in and out of class. He asked my opinion throughout the process and had me test it out at the end making sure I was satisfied with the work. Went above and beyond! So happy with the job! Hope we get Donald again if we ever need! Thanks vortex!
