We recently completed a full turnkey installation of a storage and training facility for the Army Sailing Association (ASA) in Gosport.
The ASA had to establish a new Offshore Sailing Centre after relocating to a different area of Fort Blockhouse in Gosport.
While the ASA undertook a refurbishment of a former derelict and historic police barracks building, the team contracted Rollalong to build an additional training room for sea survival, communications, first aid, marine engineering and boat equipment stores.
We manufactured and installed six modules as part of this development. The structural frame of the building was manufactured from our Xpand system with a steel floor frame and timber wall studs designed for heavy wear.
The ASA had previously worked with Rollalong on another project, so we were the perfect choice for this development.
Miles Wade CBE, Project Officer at ASA, said: “Rollalong overcame the technical challenges of providing a modular construction in a historic environment, requiring sensitive foundations, over-craning and construction, with great skill and flexibility.
“The result is a world-class offshore sail training centre which will enable soldiers, veterans and their families to embark on sailing exhibitions and challenges. This will inspire and develop young men and women of the armed forces as individuals and team members.”
We have a proven track record of outstanding, high-quality permanent buildings for the armed forces, so please get in touch to find out how our modular buildings can work for you.
