Recently completed and in-progress Rubb UK Projects and Press Releases

Special Operation for Rubb (Summer 2010)

POLICE in the Midlands have a new specialist operations training facility thanks to Rubb Buildings Ltd.

The project for the UK's National Police Improvement Agency was completed on June 25, 2010. Rubb Buildings worked with main contractor Galliford Try to provide an 8m x 8m building featuring 3m sidewalls and double doors with a 4m long canopy which extends over the front entrance.

The structure is located at a Police Training College in the Midlands.

College on Track for Sports Hub (Summer 2010)

PAIGNTON Community and Sports College is looking forward to the completion of a new multi sports hub. Rubb Buildings Ltd won the contract through a competitive tender process and the facility will be located in Torbay, Devon, in the UK.

The 42m span x 69m long structure will cater for all indoor sports including badminton, volleyball, tennis, football, trampolining and netball. In a first for the company, the building will also feature a lift shaft.

Rubb is working with main contractor Mansell to provide the sports hub, which is due for completion in August.

Storage Drive for DST Leconfield (Summer 2010)

RUBB geared up to deliver a military quad bike storage facility to DST Leconfield. Installation of the 20m x 20m NV building was completed at the site in June.

The NV features 5m x 5m roller shutter doors at each gable end and will be used to store quad bikes. Rubb Buildings Ltd worked with the main contractor Carillion to bring the facility to the Defence School of Transport at Normandy Barracks, near Beverley.

Leconfield DST is the centre of excellence for driver training and teaches up to 14,000 people every year to drive trucks, tanks and other military vehicles. The NV type building comes from Rubb's first range of trussed span structures. The design originated in Norway and the high arch of the roof makes this building ideal for bulk storage.

Rubb Delivers Storage Solution to RMB Chivenor (Spring 2010)

RUBB Building Systems has delivered a new storage solution to Royal Marines Base Chivenor.

Rubb Buildings Ltd was tasked with providing a military hardware storage and maintenance facility, under dehumidified conditions. This is the second Rubb building to be erected at the base near Barnstaple, Devon. Marine and army personnel were so pleased with the original 49.4m span (BVR Link) 90m long structure designed for the same purpose, that they tasked Rubb with designing and manufacturing another. The new Rubb building is a 49.2m span (BVR Link) 160m long structure, giving an overall footprint of 7904m². The BVR structure is located on a sloping site, so the foundation had to be constructed with incremental steps along the length of the building.

The complete framework has been manufactured using welded black steel, which was hot-dip galvanized to provide a consistent zinc coating over the entire structure. This provides a maintenance free framework. The white PVC roof lets the natural daylight penetrate through, providing a bright and airy indoor atmosphere.

The building was completed on schedule in March 2010.
