RHA Shelter in Bergen, Norway Customized to Meet Norwegian Winters

After nearly thirty years of business, Rubb continues to be a strong presence in our native Norway. The Norwegian Branch of Rubb sells shelters and buildings throughout Norway, as well as other parts of Eastern Europe, Asia and locations even further afield. Our structures from the beginning have been designed to withstand the hard winds and snows of Norway, and this fact is known very well to Norwegians, where our buildings are known as “rubbhalls.”

One such structure was recently delivered to Bergen Interkommunale Renovasjonsselskap Privat AS (BiR Privat AS). BiR is the largest refuse collector on the West coast of Norway and are headquartered in the city of Bergen. We met BiR Privat AS’s need for a flexible and rugged storage building for refuse bins with a customized RHA shelter.

The 10m wide x 21m long shelter pictured is is similar to our THA shelters, but with an upgraded framework to suit the harsh Norwegian winters. To suit the need for flexibility, we added a door to the structure on each end measuring 4.5 wide x 4.1m high. This allows access to both ends of the shelter allowing maximum logistical flexibility.

Uniquely suited to the climate and with great functionality, BiR Privat AS should expect decades of reliable and trouble-free storage from this structure.
