Across Europe’s MRO hubs, ground handling operations and aircraft refinishing facilities, the same operational tension keeps showing up: how do you maintain strict environmental and safety compliance across a hangar environment that’s constantly changing, without committing to costly, immovable infrastructure?
Facility managers, HSE leads, and engineering tea
ms responsible for European aviation sites are under growing pressure to demonstrate contamination control, overspray containment, and equipment protection standards — while keeping throughput high and construction downtime to a minimum. CPL Group’s Aviation Industrial Solutions were engineered specifically for this environment.
The Core Challenge Across European Facilities
Hangars and MRO bays serve multiple functions on the same footprint — aircraft maintenance, refinishing, ground equipment storage, staging — often simultaneously. Fixed walls can’t adapt to that. And when paint or maintenance operations run without proper containment, the result is overspray drift, contamination risk, and exposure that compliance teams have to manage after the fact instead of preventing at the source.
Modular Systems Engineered for Active Aviation Sites
Hangar Curtain Doors Built for wide-span aircraft access, hangar curtain doors let operations teams control hangar zoning and airflow on demand — supporting rapid aircraft movement while giving facility managers a flexible way to separate active zones from the rest of the hangar. Custom-sized for large bays and high-clearance openings, and manufactured from fire-retardant, durable materials suited to aviation environments.
Hangar Paint Curtains For teams managing refinishing operations, dedicated paint curtains define a contained overspray zone — helping HSE and compliance managers maintain safer, more controlled maintenance environments without a fixed paint bay structure.
Airport Trolley Covers Ground handling equipment exposed to weather and contamination is a recurring maintenance and hygiene cost. Durable trolley covers protect carts and equipment between uses, extending service life and keeping ground handling areas presentable and compliant.
Why Engineering Teams Choose Modular Reconfiguration
For engineers and project managers designing or retrofitting hangar layouts, modular curtain systems solve a problem permanent construction can’t: the ability to stage installation, scale as aircraft mix and volume change, and reconfigure zones without structural alteration or extended facility downtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
CPL Group supplies three core aviation solutions for European facilities: hangar curtain doors for wide-span aircraft access and zoning, hangar paint curtains for overspray containment during refinishing, and airport trolley covers for protecting ground handling equipment.
Modular curtain systems support compliance-focused operations by containing overspray, controlling airflow, and defining separate maintenance and refinishing zones — helping HSE and compliance teams manage environmental exposure without relying on fixed infrastructure.
Yes. The modular design allows the same curtain door and paint curtain systems to be specified, staged, and installed consistently across multiple facilities, with supply-only or full installation available depending on each site’s needs.
Because the systems are modular and designed to integrate into existing hangar structures, installation is generally faster and less disruptive than permanent construction, and can be staged in phases to minimise operational downtime — exact timelines depend on bay size and site specification.
Yes. Airport trolley covers are built for durability and hygienic protection, shielding ground handling carts and trolleys from weather exposure and contamination between uses, which extends equipment service life.
