Temporary structure
January 1st 2008

Rubb Buildings has supplied a temporary structure for engine maintenance and repair at US rail firm, Amtrak.

The construction comprises a galvanised steel frame with a high strength PVC-coated polyester membrane. Limited foundations were required and the structure was erected over existing railroad tracks, saving time and money.

Working with Nason Construction and Amtrak's designers, Rubb devised a structure measuring 39.63m span by 54.88m long.

Using the track already in position provides an easy entrance and exit to the site and allows maintenance crews to work under cover. Access is via four roller shutter doors.

A white semi-translucent roof fabric provides a bright interior; energy costs are lowered as the need for artificial lighting is reduced in daytime hours.
