RNAS Culdrose

Posted on June 18, 2013 | Comments Off on RNAS Culdrose

Heston, Cornwall, UK.

This 2000m2 hangar was built to house the Royal Navy’s Merlin search and rescue helicopter. It took only twenty five weeks to design, manufacture and erect in spite of high winds and generally wet conditions.

The REIDsteel rolling doors have outriggers on both sides to allow full width access. These six leaf cascade type doors are each driven through a cable and gearbox mechanism turned by one large handle, so the slabs all operate together. This hangar is unusual in having a set of hangar doors at front and at the back!
