Advantages

Low maintenance and costs

Our high-quality membrane materials and post-production galvanized welded frames deliver durability over time, making the cost of maintaining Rubb buildings more economical compared to conventional structures.

Energy-efficient roof membranes

Translucent membranes allow natural daylight to illuminate the workspace while the white roof surface reflects heat. Thermohall® insulation can minimise heat transfer, prevents condensation and virtually eliminates thermal bridging and air infiltration.

Structure quality

All structures are code complaint, designed to its location’s wind and environmental requirements. Our PVC cladding has a manufacturer’s warranty of 10 years. Steelwork is hot-dip galvanized to eliminate corrosion, and comes with a 25-year warranty.

Multiple door options

Rubb offers a variety of different hangar door solutions. They can be selected and designed to suit many size and opening requirements, ensuring our clients get the best option for their selected Rubb building type and operational needs.

Complete environmental control

The membrane cladding of a Rubb building is continuously sealed to provide a weathertight shell. The buildings can be insulated, heated or air-conditioned as required. Rubb structures are uniquely suited for use as dehumidified facilities.

Over 45 years of experience.

Whatever you need, we can build.

Reduced time on-site

Our established supply chain streamlines coordination of delivery and installation. Prefabricated elements and the ability to construct our buildings in a variety of weather conditions speeds up the construction process.

Rapid construction, installation, and relocation

Rubb buildings can be quickly erected, dismantled and relocated due to module prefabrication. Rubb can provide site supervisors or fully dedicated construction teams to complete any custom project. Structures are transportable by land, sea, and air.

Flexible and cost-efficient foundation systems

Rubb buildings can accommodate many foundation options such as concrete up-stand, ballast weights, and ground anchors into an existing surface. Rubb co-ordination with the groundwork contractor is key for the client to reach the most cost-effective solution.

Customisable features

Buildings can accommodate all types of door, ventilation and other systems. They can safely support high loads imposed by overhead cranes, ceiling-mounted HVAC and firesuppression systems, fall-protection equipment, and other superimposed loads.

Comprehensive long-term service

Rubb personnel are on hand to provide help and support, from initial contact and quotation, to installation and beyond. Rubb’s commitment to customer service continues after project completion and forms the basis for long-term customer satisfaction.

The main needs that the hangar has helped us meet are lower costs, fast construction and the need for a flexible location. The Rubb hangar is ideal for cases where we work in a single bay: e.g. paint hangars or single bay large body aircraft storage hangars. The Rubb team were very hard-working and fast.

Rubb structures

Multi-span solution

We have the capability and experience to design, manufacture, deliver, and install custom structures.

With Rubb, you can be sure everything is under control from concept to completion—including cost, quality, and delivery.

Multi-spans are more affordable than single roofs due to the reduced amount of steel work. Dual and multi-bay hangars also allow multiple storage and MRO operations to take place side-by-side within the same building.

While we generally have the right standard structure available to meet project needs, Rubb can also design custom solutions to meet special requirements. We have the in-house resources to provide a cost-effective solution customised to your needs.

Design

Using proven engineering software, we can tailor the project to the specific requirements of the site, type of cargo and logistical needs.

BVL

EFASS

BVE structures feature lattice frame sidewalls and can be designed with single or multiple lattice roof pitches. 20m to 40m span widths, by any length.

The BVC is designed with a vertical column leg and a lattice frame roof. This structure type offers a large clear internal area. 40m to 100m width spans are available.

Production

Our steel and membrane components are fabricated with proper equipment and quality control.

Installation

Pre-engineered and pre-fabricated to make on-site installation by a Rubb crew—or your own— go smoothly and efficiently.

24

Structures / Doors

The BVL has vertical lattice frame sidewalls and single or multiple lattice roof pitches per span. Large spans start from 40m to 100m in width, by any length.

The EFASS hangar is designed for rapid deployment. Lightweight, robust, and relocatable, these hangars are available in four widths (11m, 20.4m, 25m, and 30m).

Hangar door options

Rubb offers a variety of different hangar door solutions.

They can be selected and designed to suit many size and opening requirements. This flexibility ensures that our clients get the best option for their selected Rubb building type, depending on their operational needs.

We also supply a wide range of access and industrial roller shutter doors.

Access door

These types of doors are suitable for both public and non-public areas. EN 1125 and EN 179 standards apply to push bars and touch bars respectively. All doors and emergency exit doors supplied by Rubb adhere to European product standards. To meet customer requirements, all doors come with CE marking and are ISO 9001 approved.

Roller shutter doors

Commercial off-the-shelf doors measure up to 10m x 10m, but we also offer custom door sizes. All doors incorporate a motor driven system, with built-in safety mechanisms.

Doors can be electrically operated and can be combined with safety devices and traffic lights. All doors can be customised to suit your operations.

Aside from our in-house Heli-Door system, our sliding and vertical lifting aircraft doors are supplied by world-renowned producers.

All doors are bespoke and designed to project-specific requirements.

Heli-Door system

Designed to be quickly constructed, this vertically folding door is electrically operated via two helical geared motors, with emergency hand operation capability.

Sliding aircraft doors

This door is available in a variety of sizes to meet project requirements. These bottom rolling doors can be electrically or manually operated and insulated if needed.

Vertical lifting doors

These doors are cost-effective, reliable and help create a bright working environment.

They can withstand high windloads and eliminate draughts when closed.

25

Fire suppression

We work closely with your fire safety personnel to design and implement fire suppression systems that meet your specific needs.

Our fire suppression systems include foam, jet, and sprinkler solutions, and can be powered by dieseldriven fire pumps. They offer an independent power source, ensuring uninterrupted fire suppression—even in a power failure—and provide the pressure and flow needed to support our systems.

Foam extinguishing system

Perfect for areas with flammable liquids, foam systems quickly blanket and suppress fires, providing enhanced safety for sensitive equipment and personnel.

Jet system

Engineered for high-volume coverage, jet systems provide rapid response to fire incidents, effectively protecting large areas in a short period of time.

Sprinkler system

A reliable and time-tested solution, sprinkler systems automatically detect and respond to fire, offering consistent protection for your facility.
