Rubb, building customer loyalty
December 1st 2006 It can be very gratifying when a company that you have worked with previously is so pleased with the product and quality of service provided that they return when new projects are required and even more so when this happens on more than one occasion. This was such a case with Rubb Buildings and Bridisco, the UK's largest independent electrical distributor. Bridisco first became aware of Rubb Buildings after reading information on storage concepts in the trade magazines. In total Rubb has supplied Bridisco with three buildings, all of which are used for product storage and distribution. Rubb's first involvement with Bridisco was in 1996 to supply a 25m span x 60m long x 7m leg, BVE building with a special loading dock and canopy. This was followed up in 2000 when further storage capacity was required. The 24m span x 68m long x 7m leg, BVR was designed with a special angled gable end to link to the original building. Bridisco's latest edition, a Special BVR type building measuring 18m span x 60m long x 7m leg, as well as having a loading dock covered by a canopy, has a specially designed 6m x 15m recess creating an "L" shaped building. The bespoke construction was in answer to the client's request for a building that could provide the maximum storage area possible on the land available. Ray Taylor of Bridisco said: "Due to the expansion of our company and the increased number of deliveries which we have into our main distribution centre in White Hart Lane, our main yard area gets very congested and, therefore, we had to be very careful in terms of designing a building that would allow a sufficient turning circle, especially for the larger 40ft type vehicles." The three linked buildings provide Bridisco with a total of 2772m2 of storage space. Rubb works closely with its customers and can specifically engineer the construction of the buildings to suit most needs. Other major benefits of Rubb structures are speed of delivery and erection, minimal foundation requirements and complete relocatability or extension at any time. This portability provides several advantages over conventional structures and allows a quick response to changing circumstances More articles from Rubb Building Systems: |
