National Police Air Service | Bournemouth Airport, UK
Rubb helicopter hangar provides safe haven for National Police Air Service aircraft.
The National Police Air Service needed a new helicopter hangar after moving its Dorset base from police HQ to Bournemouth Airport.
Rubb helped NPAS meet that requirement with a custom designed helicopter hangar measuring 26m span x 17m long, with 7.5m high sidewalls. A Rubb Heli-Door in the front gable provides a clear opening of 21.5m wide x 5.5m high. The rear gable end includes a 4m x 4m roller shutter door and one personnel door. Each sidewall includes an additional personnel door for access and egress.
The Rubb ‘BVE’ aviation structure features Rubb’s traditional galvanized internal steel frame and a tapered lattice leg design. The building is clad with durable PVC Ferrari fabric, providing Sargaso blue walls and roof.
A canopy covered walkway links from rear of the helicopter hangar to the back of the modular office building on site.
