Rubb UK wins tender for second RNAS Yeovilton helicopter hangar

Rubb UK is proud to announce that we have been awarded a tender to deliver a new, state-of-the-art hangar at RNAS Yeovilton.

This follows our successful delivery of a top-spec 25m EFASS hangar in 2023, which continues to serve as a critical asset for aviation operations at the site.

The new structure, a 25m x 55m PDM model from Rubb’s new pre-designed building range, has been specifically configured to support helicopter maintenance activities at RNAS Yeovilton.

Set to be installed in 2025, the maintenance hangar will be complete with:

• Thermohall® insulation to ensure optimal thermal efficiency and environmental control
• A Rubb 21.5m Heli-Door system for seamless helicopter access, along with four additional access doors for personnel
• A 3.2-tonne gantry crane to facilitate heavy maintenance work

As part of the tender process, Rubb achieved a perfect 100/100 score on the technical submission, reflecting the precision, quality, and expertise of our designs. The building will be delivered and installed to meet the high standards required for military aviation facilities.

This project is another milestone in our ongoing relationship with the UK’s Ministry of Defence and highlights the advantages of Rubb’s pre-designed building range. Engineered for efficiency and reliability, this range offers a faster route to high-performance, durable structures tailored to meet specific client needs.

Stay tuned for updates on the delivery of this exciting project.
