Twelve Rubb Buildings Destined for Afghan Deployment
August 4th, 2010 by Rubb
Rubb is in a class of its own after winning a large contract which will see 12 military buildings deployed to Afghanistan throughout 2010. The company’s design team has taken the EFASS range of hangars to the next dimension with four of the structures featuring newly developed wider Helidoor technology.
Meanwhile six of the Expeditionary Forces Aircraft Shelter System buildings will be the longest ever produced at 100m in length. The six 25m span x 100m facilities will be used as storage complexes and will be completed with 5m x 5m manual Roller Shutter Doors at each end. All six shelters will be delivered before December 2010.
As well as the longest ever EFASS, Rubb is also set to provide the widest ever Helidoor. Four of the 25m span x 40m hangars will be equipped with the large 21.5m x 7.5m Helidoors. Previously the widest door supplied has measured 18.3m x 7m. Each building will be fitted with an internal roof mounted two tonne gantry crane.
These structures are destined for Afghanistan by the end of August. The final two buildings are Rubb sunshades, set for a June delivery to the same destination. The 25m x 28m shelters feature open gable ends and will be used to protect vital aircraft from searing temperatures and powerful UV rays.
