Virginia International Terminal Newport News, Virginia Bulk Storage Project

The Rubb warehouse consists of three linked spans, each 110' wide, providing a total covered area of 330' in width and 472.5' in length. The interior of the structure is interrupted by a total of only twenty two columns providing great flexibility of use to V.I.T. The Rubb structure has a hot-dipped galvanized tubular steel truss frame for maximum corrosion protection. The cladding is a PVC coated polyester tensioned membrane with a translucent roof which provides approximately 150 footcandles of natural illumination during daylight hours.
