Rubb Buildings

Airforce hangar specialist Rubb Buildings designs, manufactures and constructs relocatable rapid erect hangars and sunshades for military fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.

High-quality hangars for airforce support in adverse environments, climates and terrain

All Rubb military aviation storage warehouses, aircraft shelters and aircraft sunshades are designed to be rapidly deployed worldwide.

Rubb provides durable and field maintainable, high-quality hangars to support airforce requirements in challenging environmental conditions, climates and terrain.

The 25m EFASS is currently the largest military helicopter hangar in the EFASS range, specifically designed for maintenance of the MH-47 Chinook military helicopter.
EFASS military storage warehouses are currently being used by many military organisations around the world, including the UK Royal Air Force (RAF).
Rubb's military warehouse facilities are available in three span sizes including 11.1m (36ft), 20.4m (67ft) and 25m (82ft) by any length.
Typical lengths range from 28m (92ft) to 100m (328ft) and are extendable by 4m (13ft) bays.

The maintenance and storage aircraft shelters were designed to accommodate fixed-wing aircraft.
Based on a team of 11, the most recent 25m (82ft) x 100m (328ft) military warehouse was erected in just 13 days.

Rubb’s hangars are fully demountable for upcoming missions.

RAF complied EFASS military aircraft hangars

The Expeditionary Forces Aircraft Shelter System (EFASS) range of military structures is available in three span widths by any length, with different door options to accommodate fixed-wing aircraft and rotary wing aircraft.

Span widths include 11.1m, 20.4m and 25m, with Heli-Door, Trident and Roller Shutter door options. Hangars can be equipped if necessary with a 2,000kg gantry crane, facilitating airforce maintenance operations and craft maneuverability around the facility.

EFASS military aircraft hangars have been designed to comply with a stringent compliance matrix from the UK Royal Air Force, which required rapid deployment capabilities worldwide.

The storage and maintenance aircraft shelters were designed to accommodate fixed wing aircraft, particularly focusing on the Tornado, where they had to perform as a front-line maintenance and storage hangar and a sunshade (both doors open).

All EFASS aircraft storage facilities pack into 20ft ISO containers for transport worldwide.

With a proven and trusted track record, worldwide clients include the UK, USA, Canadian, Lithuanian and UAE forces. Rubb’s expertise is the ideal solution to meet your airforce’s building requirements.

Aluminium and steel hybrid helicopter maintenance structures

Recent additions to the military range include aluminium and steel hybrid EFASS helicopter maintenance structures especially designed for Horizon Flight Academy (EFASS SV) and the EFASS UAV POD.

The EFASS range of military structures is manufactured at the company’s plant in the UK.
