One of the UK’s largest training bases, RAF Valley hosts advanced fast jet training facilities that produce world-class combat pilots for the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy and international partner air forces. Morgan Sindall Construction has helped its customer, civilian contractor Ascent, to provide the students of 4 Squadron with cutting-edge flight and mission simulators as well as new hangars, operational buildings and aprons, whilst delivering a cost-effective solution for the Ministry of Defence.

The 4,000 m² squadron building, which features an atria glazed spine, includes training and conference rooms, offices and simulator training facilities alongside a purpose-built car park. The new 20,000 m² hangar is complemented by annexed accommodation with a mixture of offices, store areas and workshops.

Externally, the works include a new independent drainage system, additional hardstandings, plus a new flight line and landscaping.
