This shelter is being used to cover a ventilation system on a roof of Vadmyra school in Bergen. Shelter was required when the whole ventilation system had to be replaced. This shelter was specially adapted to allow it to be lifted on to the roof of the school. The integrated foundation frame means the shelter is stable during lifting and allows easy anchoring when placed on the roof.

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.

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.

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.
