Black Hawk Rapid-Span

The brief from the client was to provide a number of relocatable structures that were transportable, deployable, and prefabricated with the design supply and installation met with the strict criteria set by the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

Based at the Holsworthy Barracks the 9 Rapid-Span hangars provide cover for the ADF fleet of Black Hawk Helicpoters. Each Rapid-Span was installed within 2-3 days, providing a quick and economical solution for the ADF.

Manufactured in Australia, Rapid-Span Structures are constructed as an arched roof fixed to shipping containers, steel columns, concrete walls or the side wall of existing structures. Standard pre-engineered designs range from 6 meters to 16 meters in width.

Strong and fully relocatable Rapid-Span Structures are supplied with a large range of options and are engineered and manufactured using quality materials in accordance with Australian standards.

Rapid-Span can be designed to withstand wind conditions of up to 230 km/hr.
