Our high-quality membrane materials and aluminium framework deliver durability over time, making the cost of maintaining Rubb buildings more economical compared to conventional structures.
The truss frame provides clear span space to accommodate a wide variety of rotary and fixed wing aircraft and land vehicles. Fully demountable for future storage, relocation and construction cycles.
The EFASS military building range has been designed with precise packing, repacking and fast track transportation high on the priority list. Each Rubb hangar is supplied with its own 20ft ISO containers.
It is possible to heat, ventilate, dehumidify or air condition these hangars. Custom-designed HVAC systems create an ideal internal working environment for all military requirements.
Rubb offers a variety of hangar doors. They can be selected and designed to suit many size and opening requirements. This flexibility ensures that our clients get the best option to suit their operational needs.
The integral roof mounted crane system provides clients with the facility to maintain vehicles and aircraft. The crane provides optimal operational capability (1000kg, 1500kg, and 2000kg SWLs available).
Rubb structures can be adapted to suit the requirements of most military equipment and operations. From barracks gyms to asset shelters on wheels, Rubb has it covered.
Rubb provides a refurbishing and recertifying service. Rubb completes a full inspection, repairing, and servicing structures as required, then repacking items ready to be deployed.
Training advisers and courses fully instruct clients on unpacking, erecting, using, dismantling, and repacking the EFASS. Rubb can also supply an erection adviser to work alongside your own labour force.
