MRM Construction Services of Phoenix, Arizona US

Rubb Inc. of Sanford, Maine recently partnered with MRM Construction Services of Phoenix, Arizona, to supply a custom frame supported membrane structure for the U.S. Border Patrol. The building, a 115′ (35.06M) wide by 100′ (30.48M) long BVE structure with a 19.7′ (6M) leg height, will serve as an interim vehicle checkpoint on Interstate 19 just north of the US / Mexico border in Nogales, Arizona.

Rubb’s team worked closely with MRM Construction Services, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Border Patrol to successfully engineer, deliver and install the open gable ended structure. Since the building completely spanned I-19, Rubb’s technicians worked nights while traffic on the Interstate was diverted around the work zone. The structure was completely installed in just over a week and came in on time and on budget.
