Concord, Massachusetts

Zhagrus Environmental Concord, Massachusetts Environment Project

Rubb designed, fabricated and installed a custom built 115' wide x 210' long double skinned structure with 20' sidewalls on the sloping site. The building consists of a hot dip galvanized steel frame covered with flame retardant, high tenacity PVC coated polyester fabric. The inner liner was fabricated using a light weight reinforced polyethylene membrane which is to be disposed of at the end of the project. At its highest point, the single span half acre roof is 35 feet high and the whole building is designed to withstand 40 pounds per square foot live roof loads and 90 mph basic wind loads.

Lucas Heights, NSW Australia

ANSTO Lucas Heights, NSW Australia Environment Project

When the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO) needed to re-work a portion of their nuclear reactor at the Lucas Heights Nuclear Reactor site near Sydney, they searched for an alternative to conventional construction.

Rubb was contacted through their agents in Australia and designed a structure 39.4' (12m) wide x 89.24' (27.2m) long which would work in the reactor building and then could be used outside in another use and location. The quality of the Rubb structure, its flexibility and Rubb's support during the installation impressed ANSTO. It is the first Rubb structure in Australia.
