One of the major benefits of a Rubb building is the white PVC fabric roof, the white roof of all Rubb buildings and shelters allows natural daylight to penetrate through into the structure, providing an ideal indoor environment for a multitude of uses.

The THA shelter was actually too bright as it caused glare on promotional photographs for the cars that they are selling! Rubb Buildings Ltd therefore provided the client with an additional inner liner for the roof of the shelter to minimize the glare on the photos.

The BVR structure is located on a sloping site meaning that the foundation was constructed with incremental steps along the length of the building.

The finished building will be used as a dehumidified storage and service workshop for military vehicles. This is the second building purchased and located at RMB Chivenor for the same purpose.

The complete framework is built of welded black steel and then hot-dip galvanized to provide a consistent zinc coating over the entire structure.

All Rubb Buildings are Hot-Dip Galvanized post-production for the highest level of quality and longevity.

North Country Union High School of Newport, Vermont recently took delivery of their 40′ x 100′ BVE Range Rubb Building to use for storage. Rubb’s BVE building design provided the school with a rigid structure that would stand up to the heavy snow and windloads associated with Vermont winters. Rubb, Inc. worked with the school’s general contractor, Spates Construction, to successfully design and install this structure.

Garland Construction was hired to repair an existing Rubb THA shelter at the USPS Springfield Bulk Mail Center. The existing structure had sustained a considerable amount of damage from past usage. It was decided that a complete replacement was the best answer which included a heavy duty concrete wall supplied by Garland Construction. The new shelter measures 26.2’ feet by 30 feet. The track operated PVC folding door was extended to allow for the poured foundation which also makes it easier for equipment to operate in the building.

Ocean Transportation Services recently accepted delivery of their 20’ x 53.4’ BVR Range Rubb building for use as a sensitive equipment cover on their barge. Once the barge arrives at its destination, the Rubb building is crane-lifted on to the dock, dismantled and packaged for a truck shipment back to the original site. Ease of disassembly and the ability to lift the structure via crane were key design attributes of the Rubb structure.

Phase 1 of the hangar construction for Bristow Helicopters is now complete. The hangar is 35m span x 40m long BVE complete with a large manual sliding door 20m wide x 6m high.

The hangar is from the Rubb BVE range, The BVE truss design originated in Britain and has a vertical sidewall very much like the Rubb NV. The major difference is an additional facet at the top of the leg truss that lowers the angle of the roof truss. This allows for more interior clearance over the full width of the building, useful for breakbulk and warehousing applications. The BVE can be designed with a single or multiple roof pitches per span. Several spans can also be linked together.

The BVE is a very versatile product and can be customized in a variety of ways. The leg height can be extended for additional interior clearance, and the entire building can be placed on rollers for mobility.

The finished hangar will be complete with an inner-skin and insulation package and full high specification lighting and electrical installation, and will be used by the client to service, maintain and store their fleet of commercial helicopters.

Built for Fjord Instruments AS in Knarvik just outside Bergen, this shelter is 2,5m span x 53m long with two insulation layers. The purpose of the shelter is to cool down the ambient temperature to -20C so that seismic cables can be tested at such low temperatures. The shelter is equipped with 3 cooling machines and 6 dehumidifiers to achieve the target of -20C.

EnerMech Ltd are a leading provider of Mechanical Equipment to the Energy Industry and needed to find the best possible option for a new Warehouse facility to “house” their expanding equipment range.

The two 15 metre x 40 metre NV’s, with 5 metre high side walls, provided the design flexibility, best secure storage and easy access to their specialist range of equipment. These were the key factors why Rubb Buildings were chosen for this new project and demonstrates the flexibility of design that has always been a hallmark of Rubb Group’s client service.
