RNAS Yeovilton receives top of the range 25m EFASS hangar

Exact requirements

Rubb UK has recently supplied RNAS Yeovilton, a top naval air station in the UK, with an ultramodern EFASS structure specified to their exact requirements.

The structure measures 25m wide x 40m long, with a 5.5m leg. Modular by design, the EFASS’s length can be adjusted per operational requirements. Here, the client chose ten 4m long modules to accommodate their use case. 

The hangar’s durable fabric cladding was delivered in a goosewing grey exterior, with a white interior. Meanwhile, 150mm of Rubb’s Thermohall® glass wool insulation is packed between the sheets, ensuring the interior stays energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.  

Robust features

The 21.5m Heli-Door, designed and installed by Rubb UK, ensures easy access for vehicles and personnel. Meanwhile, the rear of the structure features an electrically operated 5m x 5m roller shutter door, supplied by fellow North East manufacturer, Hart Doors. Four additional porch doors are also included for personnel access. 

The interior is well-lit with 500 lux LED lighting, and the environment is controlled with a modern HVAC heating and cooling system—stored externally in two 20ft ISO containers to the rear. The hangar is supplied with a power distribution panel to accommodate all electrical accessories, including a fire alarm system.  

Rubb’s EFASS system continues to be a popular choice among military organisations worldwide, with its adaptability, quality, and range of accessories proving best-in-class. 

The client approached Rubb with a requirement for a new temporary hangar. It was agreed that the EFASS system was the most suitable solution due to its robust features. A great project to work on and one we are truly proud of.
