Helicopter Maintenance Hangar - UK
Space for up to 32 Helicopters
This helicopter maintenance facility is home to 250 staff and provides maintenance and support for helicopters already in service. The facility was officially opened in mid-September 2024 in an event attended by the Prince of Wales.
The client met our team and talked of the tremendous benefits a new facility brings; new customers, new government contracts and, most importantly, an increase in morale within his team due to moving from their 1940’s building to this new state-of-the-art facility.
Within the facility we have provided over 6200 sq m of hangar space, room for up to 32 helicopters. Alongside this we have created over 5000 sq m of office and warehouse space split over two levels.
The hangar area includes three 700 Kg SWL interior cranes which each cover around 90% of their section. The 163m x 7.5m opening to the hangar features eleven powered and glazed door slabs on two tracks. Three of the slabs feature our threshold-less personal doors.
This was the first hangar to feature our new hangar door head system which offers several benefits including saving fabrication and installation set up time, as well as reducing the dead weight imposed on the truss allowing the supporting frame to be lighter.
The hangar has 450 sq m of glazing in the form of curtain walling, windows and glazed doors supplied by our glazing division, REIDglazing.
Prior to opening, we spent a day training multiple groups of staff on the safe use and maintenance of the hangar doors as part of our Hangar Door service.
