Rapid Response Structures
Rubb emergency shelters can be quickly erected by local labor with simple tools and minimal lifting gear. Foundation requirements are flexible allowing for installation on a wide range of surfaces. With proper manpower, a Rubb emergency shelter can be erected in a few hours and then can be re-deployed to meet later emergencies at other locations. Rubb’s temporary emergency relief shelters are fully air transportable.
Rubb Emergency Relief Structure Advantages
- Readily Transported
Shelters pack to less than 1% of their erected volume, efficiently fit in ISO containers and are also suitable for air transport. - Durable
Heavier weight, PVC coated fabric is fire safe and UV resistant. Post production hot dip galvanizing of welded components ensures long structure life. - Easily Installed
Relief shelters are readily erected with simple tools and equipment. Components are color coded for ease of identification. Maximum parts interchangeability and detailed instruction manuals simplify installation. Light Weight Alternatives: Aluminum frame versions of the THAB and RDS range of emergency shelters are ideal for air freight. - High inclined sidewalls and rectangular footprint provide more usable volume per unit floor area.
- Assemble Anywhere

Emergency Relief Structure Types
Rubb can provide custom designed emergency relief shelter and buildings in a variety of configurations and sizes to suit your specific requirements.
THA Shelter
THA Rubb shelters are available in 6m, 8m, 10m, and 12m spans with 3.3m high sidewalls. These shelters can be supplied by any length in 3m modules.
NV Structures
The NV was the first steel truss span building by Rubb. The design originated in Norway and has a vertical sidewall. The high arch of the roof makes this profile ideal for bulk storage.
BVE Structures
BVE structures feature lattice frame sidewalls and can be designed with single or multiple lattice roof pitches. Span widths start from 20m to 40m, by any length.
