PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

Viking Air is proud to be part of Canadian aviation history. Their mission is to continue de Havilland Canada’s proud history of producing and maintaining exceptional, world-class aircraft.

This 84,000 sq.ft. manufacturing facility in Sidney, BC includes a paint spraying booth, CNC Labs, aluminum
plating shop, manufacturing shop and administration building.

AME was responsible for the mechanical design from schematic design, through construction until  occupancy. Detailed design and coordination was required for specialized plumbing and ventilation systems required for the manufacturing processes.

A natural ventilation strategy was implemented within the production area, with large ceiling fans to extract or push heat to the occupied areas.
