Rubb Structure Makes Waste Treatment Facility a Good Neighbor
May 2nd, 2008 by Rubb
Increasingly stringent environmental regulations and restrictions of conventional buildings make Rubb structures ideal for use in environmental remediation or storage applications. The flexibility of Rubb sewage covers is especially helpful in situations where the coverage was never originally anticipated and a new building is needed quickly.
One such location was the Cherry Hill Waste Water Treatment facility in Elkton, Maryland. The facility is located in the middle of a residential area and was build originally without tank covers. However, as the community grew, the waste water digestion tank began to emit odors that became an issue.
Cecil County, Maryland retained the services of CDM, an engineering firm, to design odor containment and handling system. Their design embodied the use of a Rubb designed membrane cover along with a sophisticated air handling system.
Rubb joined with EMH Environmental, Inc. of Glenwood, Maryland and proposed the winning bid for the tank cover portion of the project. Rubb designed, fabricated and delivered two 52′ diameter tank covers with 10′ sidewalls. The covers each have a personnel door and access for serving the waste water handling pumps.
The Cherry Hill Waste Water Treatment Facility is once again a good neighbor.
