General Industry Portable Structures Projects

Chrysler Corporation Sterling Heights, Michigan General Industry Project

Chrysler needed to cover a recently installed vehicle validation test track to permit year round testing during inclement weather. Rubb met the challenge by customizing one of its standard products to create a structure which was installed at a substantially lower cost than other options considered by the auto manufacturer.

The unique structure was designed in the shape of the letter 'J' to coincide with the shape of the test track. The structure is initially 42' wide, widens to 60' and is curved to a thirty-eight foot (38') radius as it follows the U-turn of the test track. It is over 750 feet in overall length.

Fisher Engineering Rockland, Maine General Industry Project

When Fisher Engineering, manufacturer of the renowned Fisher Plow, needed to add fabrication space to their Rockland, Maine facility, they turned to Rubb. Their solution was to move packaging warehousing in their main facility to a new Rubb warehouse.

The Rubb structure's flexible foundation capability allowed the 15,000 square foot warehouse to be erected on the existing paved storage area with virtually no additional site work. Rubb's relocatable wide flange foundation beam system was designed to accommodate the uneven site and the structure base was sealed to the weather with an economical asphalt berm around the structure perimeter.

This fully functional warehouse facility was erected at a fraction of the cost and far more quickly than other alternatives.

East Coast Warehouse's second Rubb structure was delivered and installed in early 2004. This structure is to be used as a maintenance storage facility.

M & M Welding Dartmouth, Nova Scotia General Industry Project

UNC Wilmington Wilmington, North Carolina General Industry Project

The University of North Carolina's Wilmington campus needed a temporary structure to serve as a cafeteria while the school's Student Union Building underwent a major renovation. Rubb Buildings was contacted by the University's architectural firm who knew of Rubb's versatile structures and its ability to quickly turn projects around. Rubb's solution involved two structures. The first was a 40' (12m) x 66.67' (20.33m) BVE with 16.4' (5m) sidewalls. The second building was a small BVR structure measuring 30' (9.15m) x 6' (2.74m) with a 12' (3.66m) sidewall, served as a connection tunnel to join the large Rubb structure to the existing brick Student Union Building. Rubb engineers and site personnel were able to work around the masonry structure's various overhangs thus eliminating costly building modifications.
