Industrial buildings

Cover for manufacturing, blasting and painting

Rubb’s industrial fabric buildings offer the versatility and adaptability that every market sector needs. Many clients use our industrial buildings in different locations and for different applications. The flexibility to relocate, resell or extend are appealing features of every Rubb structure.

Rubb’s manufacturing, storage and blasting facilities are being used to increase production capacity, maximizing return on investment. Rubb has the capability to adapt and customize structures to fit your needs, even in environments where options may seem limited.

Low maintenance and costs

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

Energy-efficient roof membranes

Translucent membranes allow natural daylight to illuminate the manufacturing, blasting and painting workshops 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 industrial warehouse door solutions. They can be selected and designed to suit all larger opening requirements. This flexibility ensures that our clients get the best option for their selected Rubb building type, depending on their operational needs.

Rapid construction, installation and relocation

Rubb 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 Industrial building 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

Industrial structures 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.

The key advantage for Barrier in working with Rubb is their ability to engineer practical, cost effective solutions and deliver them within very tight project timescales.

Ken McLean, Project Manager
Barrier Ltd

The project ran very smoothly from start to finish and E.ON are delighted with the result. Site safety is paramount on E.ON sites and they praised the Rubb team for their professionalism and safe working throughout their time there.

John England, PACS Power Utilities Director
E.ON Energy

In the period before construction begins and we subsequently move into our new facility next year, we needed to create temporary production areas that would support the delivery of current contracts and also increase the capacity for the manufacture of fire rated valve boxes for the international oil and gas market.

Robert Bowles, Chairman
Barrier Ltd

We are very satisfied with the shelters, which are solidly built. I would recommend Rubb to other companies if they are looking for the same kind of shelters.

Bram van Beest, NL Buyer
MaasStroom Energie

Due to the commitment and skill of everyone involved, the whole production programme of works was completed efficiently, on time, to our high specifications and with as little disruption to our existing business as was possible. We have no hesitation in recommending their services.
