Robins Air Force Base demanded four three-story, 1-hour fire-rated modular offices inside active aircraft hangars—built weathertight on uneven floors, engineered for 50 mph winds, fully sprinklered, and delivered under brutal six-week deadlines without disrupting mission-critical operations. Panel Built engineered and installed a 24’ x 38’ x 31’4” tower with ASTM E119-certified Fire-Shield gypsum/mineral wool panels, custom powder-coated IBC stair towers with three landings, integrated HVAC, and fire alarms—all while demolishing old structures and pouring new slabs in record time. The result: maximum workspace with zero floor-space loss, total code compliance, and proof that fire-rated modular systems can conquer the toughest military timelines.
