First developed in 1958 while creating what is described as, “The world’s first purpose-built business aircraft,” Gulfstream has grown to become an international leader in business aviation. The aerospace engineering and manufacturing company has experienced rapid expansion year-after-year, so it was of little surprise when the burgeoning demand of Gulfstream products required an additional facility at their Savannah, Ga. location. To ensure the project’s build speed was up to pace—so that they could meet the overwhelming schedule demand, while at the same time maintaining energy efficiency—Kingspan Insulated Panels were chosen to help expedite the process.
It is important to note that everything Gulfstream does is based on speed. From the planes that they build, to the parts they deliver, to their Field and Airborne Support Teams (FAST) who offer international support. Being efficient time-wise is one of the pillars that their company was built on, so the choice to go with insulated metal panels that could match that state of urgency was crucial to the completion of this project. In order to make sure the job was completed quickly and properly, Yancey & Jamieson Inc. was brought in to manage the project.
