For most companies, the concept of value relates to the total cost of a service or product over its useful life. It takes into account repairs, inspection, maintenance costs as well as the original price.
Rubb has a long, proven track record for providing value to its customers. Most of the facilities that we have sold have no recorded maintenance in the first ten years of use (this does not take into account willful acts or accidents).
The performance of a Rubb building is not by chance or location based. It is built upon sound and practical engineering practice and high quality manufacturing. Post production hot-dip galvanizing of steel frames to ASTM-A123 provides a durable finish for 50+ years. By using a standard 28 ounce high frequency welded architectural membrane, our roof systems are lasting an average 20+ years.
The foundation of all our processes and systems is our ISO 9001 quality protocols. For over thirty years, Rubb has made incremental changes to improve its products. Rubb is committed to designing facilities that meet the challenges of our customers in both form and function.
A Rubb Building is a cost-effective solution that stays cost-effective. We stand behind our facilities for the lifetime of the product.
25 year facelift for STORAGE FACILITY
A relocatable Rubb building measuring 33' x 70' has celebrated 25 years in service with a new PVC replacement cover for its hot-dip galvanized steel frame.
The original structure was installed in 1975 for Peck & Hale, in West Sayville, New York, and was manufactured by Rubb Norway prior to the startup of Rubb USA in 1983.
A sample of the 25-year-old fabric was sent for laboratory testing which confirmed that its flame retardant characteristics and original tensile strength were unchanged. Only the fabric's tear strength has been slightly reduced after 25 years.
"Although the fabric was 25 years old, the facility at Peck & Hale could have carried on for many more years had the membrane cover not been affected by operational damage rather than the aging of the fabric," commented John Poulin, Rubb, Inc.'s Sales Manager.
Peck & Hale has a second Rubb structure of similar size and age at their location which is still in good condition.
