Custom designed environmental tank covers
Rubb tank covers prevent environmental contamination of stored liquids and specially sealed Rubb environmental protection structures serve as containments for asbestos and other harmful materials. They can be effectively sealed to provide a negative-pressure environment.
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 environmental 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. Optional Thermohall® insulation minimises heat transfer, prevents condensation and virtually eliminates thermal bridging and air infiltration.
Multiple door options
Rubb offers a variety of different environmental structure door and access solutions. They can be selected and designed to suit all opening requirements. This flexibility ensures that our clients get the best option for their selected Rubb environmental building or cover type, depending on their operational needs.
Rapid construction, installation and relocation
Rubb environmental buildings can be quickly erected, dismantled and relocated due to module pre-fabrication. Rubb can provide site supervisors or fully dedicated construction teams to complete any custom project.
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.
Reduced time on-site
Our established supply chain streamlines coordination of delivery and installation. Pre-fabricated elements and the ability to construct our buildings in a variety of weather conditions speeds up the construction process.
Customisable features
Buildings can accommodate all types of door, ventilation and other systems and safely support high loads imposed by overhead cranes, ceiling-mounted HVAC and fire-suppression 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 to quotation, installation and beyond. Rubb’s commitment to customer service continues after project completion and forms the basis for long-term customer satisfaction.

Environmental Structure Types
Rubb can provide custom designed environmental warehouses and tank covers in a variety of configurations and sizes to suit your specific requirements.
THA
THA Rubb shelters are available in 6m, 8m, 10m, and 12m spans with 3.3m high sidewalls. These shelters can be supplied by any length in 3m modules.
Rubb Hall
The Rubb Hall range is flexible, robust, portable, and is designed specifically for fast delivery at a competitive price. Available in 10m and 12m spans by any length.
BVR
The BVR features rectangular leg and roof box sections. This takes up less space and provides more overall internal clearance. Popular choice for bulk storage buildings.
NV
The NV was the first steel truss span building by Rubb. The design originated in Norway and has a vertical sidewall. The high arch of the roof makes this profile ideal for bulk storage.
BLE
The Rubb BLE is a robust and reliable engineered structure type, designed to be liftable, moveable, extendable and relocatable to meet all clients’ needs.
BVE
BVE structures feature lattice frame sidewalls and can be designed with single or multiple lattice roof pitches. Span widths start from 20m to 40m, by any length.
BVC
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.
BVL
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.
