Phase 1 of the hangar construction for Bristow Helicopters has been completed. The hangar is 114.9’ (35m) span x 131’ (40m) long BVE complete with a large manual sliding door 65.6’ (20m) wide x 20’ (6m) high.
The helicopter hangar is from the Rubb BVE range, the BVE truss design originated in Britain and has a vertical sidewall very much like the Rubb NV. The major difference is an additional facet at the top of the leg truss that lowers the angle of the roof truss. This allows for more interior clearance over the full width of the building, useful for breakbulk and warehousing applications. The BVE can be designed with a single or multiple roof pitches per span. Several spans can also be linked together.
The BVE is a very versatile product and can be customized in a variety of ways. The leg height can be extended for additional interior clearance, and the entire building can be placed on rollers for mobility.
The finished aircraft hangar will be complete with an inner-skin and insulation package and full high specification lighting and electrical installation, and will be used by the client to service, maintain and store their fleet of commercial helicopters.
