Rubb USA was asked by the shipyard to design and construct rolling weather covers to enhance productivity and working conditions for employees. Rubb installed 39.6m (130ft) x 17m (56ft) x 14.6m (48ft) and 36.6m (120ft) x 17m (56ft) x 13.4m (44ft) buildings, both equipped with motorized rollers to move the buildings in and out of position.
According to Shipyard Program Director Mike Butler: “Not only will these weather covers provide an indoor work area to protect our employees, but it also further illustrates the company’s commitment to improve our facilities for the Ford-Class Carrier Program.” The 1,115m² (12,000ft²) production area is equipped with a Rubb supplied high efficiency LED lighting system, along with a 30.5m (100ft) x 12m (40ft) Megadoor entry system. Rubb is once again proud to be part of a ‘game changer’ project.
