Intermarine Savannah, Georgia Marine Project
A unique relocatable Rubb structure has proven to be the perfect solution for protecting luxury yachts from weather while they are undergoing maintenance and refitting at Intermarine shipyard in Savannah, Georgia.
Rubb Inc. of Sanford , Maine designed and manufactured four 83' long modules (joined structurally to function as two 166' sections) to provide complete cover for Intermarine's drydock enclosure which measures 73' wide x 332' long. The sections have sidewalls of 58' with an interior peak height of over 70'. The entire Rubb structure is mounted on rollers to allow its four sections to be moved out of the way while a ship is moved in and out of dry dock. Furthermore, the two 166' sections index under each other to allow easy access to different areas of the ship. Each 83' module has a 15' x 15' sliding door on each side, providing easy access for material handling and multiple gangway locations. The water side door consists of five stacked panels which slide into steel beam guides. This door system allows complete access into the water side end of the structure. The rear gable has 22' x 25' roller shutter doors to provide access and to allow ship alignment during docking.
Aker Langsten Shipyard Barents Sea Marine Project
In late summer 2004 Rubb was awarded a contract by the Norwegian Shipyard Aker Langsten AS. The project called for design, prototype testing and final delivery and installation of a custom retractable cover system for an offshore supply vessel, the Viking Avant. The 10,000 square foot cover system consisted of a series of 60' span space trusses that were covered and connected by series of PVC coated polyester membrane panels. Each truss end was equipped with a high capacity roller system that allowed the truss/membrane system to retract over the 167' length of the cover system and allow access to cargo stored within.
The Viking Avant is assigned the task of supplying offshore oil platforms in the Barents Sea and its Rubb cover system is engineered to survive these extremely harsh conditions.
Townsend Bay Marine Port Townsend, Washington Marine Project
Rubb Buildings, of Sanford, Maine, recently completed a custom built yacht storage facility for Townsend Bay Marine in Port Townsend, Washington. The structure, a 60' x 112.5' NV Range building, features a 45' vertical sidewall and an open end gable. Vessels up to 110' are moved into the facility with a 300 ton Travel lift.
Townsend Bay Marine is a full service boatbuilding and repair facility specializing in the construction and refitting of high end yachts. Key considerations in their selec-tion of Rubb were the translucent roof, high sidewalls, and the ability to relocate the structure in the future.
Seaborne Marine Ketchikan, Alaska Marine Project
Seaborne Marine located in Ketchikan, Alaska purchased this 55' x 53' BVE range Rubb structure to use as boat storage. The sidewall height of this structure is 37 feet to allow plenty of room for the boat to enter and exit the structure.

K-Con Anywhere Marine Project
The Helen S is part barge, part ship and part warehouse - a one of a kind shipping system which utilizes the very latest advances in material technology to construct watertight housing on a standard barge.
This structure is capable of moving 6,000 tons of timber products protected from the rain and sea and with a zero tolerance for leaks. The Helen S fills this need in an innovative manner by providing a lightweight, watertight hold for 435,000 cubic feet of cargo courtesy of the main structure that was provided by Rubb, Inc.
Military Sealift Command Anywhere Marine Project
Rubb, Inc. completed its third major marine protection enclosure system for the US Military Sealift Command. The controlled environment "cocoon" system consists of a total of ten individual enclosures positioned on the Captain Steven L. Bennett, a ship
Owned by Sealift, Inc. of Oyster Bay, New York. The vessel is under long term charter to the US Military as part of its pre-positioning program.
The overall Rubb cocoon system on the Bennett measures approximately 100 feet wide by over 400 feet long with heights up to 38 feet. The system encloses over 1.2 million cubic feet and is fully insulated and sealed to protect expensive military cargo from the marine environment to allow interior temperature and humidity to be regulated.
