Robertson Construction GroupThis new facility incorporates a large new hanger – which will house a tactical operations centre, squadron accommodation, workshops and offices, training simulators and space for three aircraft – as well as a new airfield taxi / tow way, apron and washbay area.
Since this project occurs on a live Ministry of Defence (MoD) site, we have carefully planned our works and devised our programme to ensure that there will be no disruption to the ongoing operations of the airbase.
