Aircraft maintenance dock - light maintenance docking modules : Albret Pourteau

Albret Pourteau presents you its quality services in the aircraft maintenance dock, civil aircraft overhaul and aircraft docking structures domain. Discover our profesionnal team.

- our docks are made of mixed steel and aluminium
resulting in both LIGHTNESS AND RIGIDITY (for example, our
A340 vertical stabilizer is only 2,2 tons per side),
- the aluminium parts are assembled by bolting (easier to
repair) or by welding (lighter). Our bolted aluminium
design SEP RO system is patented,
- bolted aluminium is 15µ thick anodized steel is 70µ thick,
hot dipped and galvanized. Both are corrosion proof,
- our bearing structures are designed in the shape of bridge
to leave maximum free space underneath for the storing
of parts or installation of repair shops,

- the elevation system allows to move our docks at all
heights, making them suitable for several type of aircraft.

* define the users’ needs and functional constraints,
* make a list of all technical requirements,
* visit the site and evaluate environmental constraints.

Our Access stands and lighter modules are usually made from our patented technology SEP RO system based on a bolted assembly of aluminium parts that requires no specific tooling and makes it easy to repair or maintain.

In addition, over the past years our design and engineering team which represents more than 30% of our total staff, has developped a specific and sound technology to meet the highest demanding needs of our worlwide customers.

* design a solution,
* send a proposal,
* review the proposal in accordance with the client’s remarks/
changes,
* launch the project : schedule all design, manufacturing, delivery
and final assembly phases,
* keep the client involved at all times.

* design the overall modules’ breakdown and functional details
in 3D,
* chose the right material based on cost and weight objectives
and standard library elements to reduce fabrication and
maintenance costs,
* when required, include lighting and electric-pneumatic power
services,
* review the design with the client based on 3D functional drawing,
* explain all operational details,
* simulate the moves and positioning of the dock during aircraft
exchange,
* get final approval from the customer,
* transform 3D design into 2D manufacturing drawings.

* start the manufacturing process,
* subcontract sub-assemblies in Portugal/Hungary, or in the
client’s country, or wherever labor costs are competitive,
* carry out all quality controls.

* ship all equipment and sub-assemblies,
* perform the load tests and final assembly in the client's hangar,
* commission the equipment,
* train the users,
* provide technical literature, operation manual and certifications.
