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.

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.

This NV type shelter measures 20m wide x 51m long with 3m side wall. The structure was erected by Rubb Poland for a company that manufactures electrical components for the Korean company LG. The customer had previously purchased a THA type shelter and was so satisfied with the structure, that he ordered this much larger NV type shelter. This structure will be used for the storage of electrical components.

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.

We received this email a few days ago, and its content was so uplifting that I feel it’s entirely appropriate to be shared at this time of year:
My name is Mary Thatcher (Chapman) and I worked at Rubb from July 1999 to November 2001. I loved my job there and Rubb always treated me well. I worked under Steve Gagnon in the weld shop. I am currently in the Army and I am deployed to Iraq. When I was back in the shop welding on the Kuwait contract, I never thought I’d see the finished product first hand. When I deployed to Iraq in September 2009, we were held in Kuwait until flights were arranged. During my time in Kuwait we stayed in one of the tents that Rubb had built. It was great to see the buildings and know that I was once part of the team that built them. All the hours everyone put in making sure the job got out on time and that it was of the best quality really made a difference in the quality of life for the soldiers who had to passed thru there. I’m glad to see that in the struggling economy that a great company such as yourselves is still strong and alive with business.
I’d like to say hello to all of those I once worked with if they are still kicking around. Maybe if ya’ll (Rubb) are still around when I get finished with my service I might come knocking to see if you need a welder… Just seeing those buildings made me smile and remember how much I loved working there and the great co-workers I had around me. Leaving the country for the first time, Kuwait is not the most up lifting place. So many sand storms you can’t even see the skyline, no sun, no stars nothing but the sand. For me it was kinda hard at first but just seeing a piece of my past put a smile on my face! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone at Rubb USA!
Sincerly,
Mary Thatcher
Thank you, Mary! Merry Christmas to all from everyone at Rubb!
