Rubb Buildings Ltd are flying high after completing a new hangar facility on behalf of the Bristow Helicopter Group. The project started out as a temporary hangar to house helicopters overnight while a conventional hangar was built.
Then Bristow Helicopters, one of the largest and respected providers of helicopter services, approached Rubb to design and manufacture a structure tailor-made for their needs.
It was a constantly evolving project, changing from a storage facility into a storage and maintenance hangar.
This required a high level of lighting specification, insulation and inner skin features and a custom-made insulated 20m x 6m manual sliding door.
Rubb rose to the challenge.
During the process the structure grew from 35m span x 35m long BVE into a 35m span x 40m long specialist hangar facility, sporting power points, electrics, lighting and ventilation. The high specification electrical system includes 230v and 415v power sockets; a 500 lux lighting system; an independently monitored emergency lighting system; lightening protection and ventilation.
Sales Manager Ray Colby said: “It was a continually evolving project but once again Rubb rose to the challenge.” The hangar, completed in March 2010, will be used by the client to service, maintain and store their fleet of commercial helicopters.

This NV 10 X 21 was built for Randaberg Havnelager AS, a port storage company just at the outskirts of Stavanger. Stavanger is a large oil production related area in Norway and Randaberg Havnelager AS caters for many vessels that service the offshore oil platforms off the coast of Norway. Randaberg Havnelager AS has used Rubbhalls for many years and this is the latest addition to their site.
The Rubbhall above was erected on a steel foundation so that the buildings can be crane liftable and moved around the harbour. This unique flexibility allows the NV building to be rented out for short term storage of various oil related equipment.
