Undercover storage for salt
March 1st 2008 The Rubb Group manufactures
prefabricated portable structures,
buildings, shelters and custom
units.These can be manufactured
in virtually any configuration and
provide storage for a range of
goods and materials.
Such versatility is beneficial
where, due to the tightening of
environmental regulations
materials such as the bulk storage
of salt are required to be kept
under cover to restrict the
possible impact on the
environment. With a steel frame
and PVC-coated polyester fabric
cover, Rubb structures are
suitable for saline environments.
The town of Derry, New
Hampshire, wanted a salt shed to
store 4000t of salt. Rubb,
designed, made and installed a 70
x 116ft BVE type building that had
adequate height clearance to lift a
40ft dump trailer inside it. A
traditional poured concrete design
was selected. This helped to
ensure that the building could
withstand 65psf ground snow and
100mph wind with 3-second gust,
