Military Shelters and Storage Structures Projects
Rapid supply, deployment and relocation are the key attributes of Rubb structures that make them ideally suited to military uses worldwide. Rubb structures can be deployed wherever the need arises and recovered and easily stored after use. These structures are highly reliable with standardized designs that reduce the number of components to allow for compact, efficient storage and minimum inventory requirements.

Logis-Tech Jacksonville, Florida Military Project
In the case of the U.S. Navy project, the storage environment is a 43m clear span structure 76m in length with 5m sidewalls (140' x 250' x 16.4') which was prefabricated and erected by Rubb Building Systems. It has the capacity to store twenty Grumman EA-6B aircraft in folded wing configuration. The facility provides cost effective, energy efficient, long term, low humidity storage. By storing aircraft in these conditions they are maintained in a high state of readiness for quick recommissioning should the need arise.

United States Air Force Elmendorf AFB, Alaska Military Project
Rubb structures have been designed on a modular basis for easy, rapid erection and deployment. They have been used throughout the world by the Army, Air Force, Marine and Naval units for stores, hangars, site shelters, workshops and used extensively in disaster relief area for personnel accommodations, stores and hospitals. As these structures are supplied in very compact shipping form, even the largest structures can be packed in standard ISO shipping containers. Total mobility and flexibility make them ideal for military applications.

U.S. Army Test Center Dugway, Utah Military Project
In 2004 Rubb supplied two custom structures to the U.S. Army's West Desert Test Cen-ter at Dugway Proving Grounds, 80 miles from Salt Lake City, Utah. The structures will be used for the development and testing of chemical and biological (CB) detectors. Identifying and tracking airborne releases of highly lethal CB agents from a safe dis-tance is an important capability for both military personnel and homeland security au-thorities. Agent recognition is performed by lasers utilizing LIght Detection And Ranging Technologies (LIDAR). Since variable weather conditions can significantly affect agent dispersal patterns, open-air procedures for the actual agents are neither safe nor con-sistently effective. These structures will provide a controlled environment for the gen-eration of simulant CB threat clouds to challenge detectors.
The second facility is the Joint Ambient Breeze Tunnel (JABT), which is 46' (14m) wide by 550' (168m) long with 49' (15m) high sidewalls. It is used to test detectors on sub-stances that simulate toxic clouds on a much larger scale. Importantly, the JABT can move target clouds up to 6 meters (20') per second to assess the LIDAR's ability to track them, and determine their concentration profiles, while operating at a one to five kilometer (0.6 to 3 mile) distance. Together, the ASC and JABT fill a significant gap in testing capability for standoff detectors.
United States Navy Anywhere Military Project
Rubb Buildings and Protec, Inc. recently completed a shipboard project for the USNS Mercy, a 900' Military Sealift Command hospital ship. The two companies manufactured and erected a 40'w x 48' BVE range structure with 16.4' sidewalls that will hangar two (2) Blackhawk helicopters. These aircraft will support a new 5 month humanitarian mission to the Pacific and Far East. Rubb's design included an I-beam foundation, cargo and personnel doors, and provisions for lifting by crane.
The Mercy is based out of San Diego and has been in service since its commissioning in 1986. Most recently, the ship played a critical role in Operation Unified Assistance, the multi-national relief effort which supported many countries in Southeast Asia in the wake of the Dec 26, 2005 tsunami that devastated that region. For more information regarding the Mercy and its vital role, check out its website at www.mercy.navy.mil All of us at Rubb Buildings and Protec, Inc. are proud to support this fine ship and her wonderful crew.
