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 center 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 has recently finished fabrication for a new salt storage facility for the Town of Sanford, Maine. After two years of providing several options to the town, a 70ft (21.34m) x 80ft (24.39m) BVE Rubb structure with 16.4ft (5m) sidewalls was chosen.
The structure is designed to 70 psf ground snow load and 90 mph wind load with a 3 psf collateral. The Town of Sanford likes the Rubb design as the white roof provides a naturally lit interior and the structure provides flexibility for growth. This structure will provide a salt storage capacity of 2,686 tons. The leg trusses and gable columns will be powder coated to provide another layer of protection from the highly caustic aspects of salt.

The experts at Rubb Buildings Ltd held the key to designing a new door for a hangar at RAF Waddington.
The 20m x 33m NV type building was originally manufactured with a Fast Jet Door to house various aircraft. This style of door required three men on the ground and the pilot to move the aircraft in and out of the hangar.

Then Rubb came up with a plan to reduce the ground staff to just one man. This involved designing and equipping the facility at the UK base with a bespoke 17.5m x 6m sliding door. The new door is fully insulated in keeping with the insulated building which features an inner skin, electrical kit and heating. The project was completed on May 6, 2010.
