Contractors are preparing the site which has been earmarked for 246 new army family homes.
Specialist contractors, working on behalf of the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), are pulling down 62 buildings, removing car parks and lifting and moving temporary accommodation units to other MOD sites for reuse.
DIO Project Manager, Andy Corcoran, said: "Preparing the site for development is a big task. Some of the hangars are about the same size as the Twickenham rugby pitch at more than 800m2. Other buildings being levelled include workshops, kit stores, catering facilities and vehicle servicing bays.

"The housing development planned for this site is one example of how we're supporting service personnel and their families through the provision of a fit for purpose estate, including accommodation."
The works are scheduled to be complete by early next year.
A planning application for the new homes has been submitted to the council.
A site for a primary school, land for community uses and open space are also included in the development proposals for Ludgershall.
The homes are part of wider infrastructure proposals to accommodate the 4,300 extra troops planned to relocate to the Salisbury Plain area under the army basing programme.
