Hangar Roof Replacements at 5 Wing Goose Bay Military Base
Official title: Hanger 5 (B259) and Hanger 8 (B250) Roof Replacements - 5 Wing Goose Bay
The Department of National Defence wants to replace the roofs on two aircraft hangars at the Goose Bay military base in Labrador. The buildings are in poor condition. Work includes removing hazardous materials, replacing the roofing systems, and upgrading structural components. The project covers over 21,000 square metres of roof area.
Why This Matters
This is a routine military infrastructure project at a remote base. It mainly affects base personnel and contractors. If you live near Goose Bay, construction activity may be visible, but direct impacts on the community are minimal.
What Could Change
Two aging hangars will get new roofs, extending their service life. Hazardous materials like asbestos may be removed during construction. The project is scheduled for completion by March 2027.
Key Issues
- Environmental impacts of hazardous materials removal
- Construction activities at the military base
