Fabric Structures
The military has a significant need for structures that can be approved, funded, and operational quickly. Steel-framed fabric structures have proven to be the answer at numerous sites around the world.
These built-to-code, durable, cost-effective, and adaptable structures can be assembled for a fraction of the cost of traditional construction, while at the same time being virtually sustainment-free.
Cocoon projects feature structures manufactured by RUBB Building Systems, long considered the gold standard of steel-framed fabric buildings.
Key Partners:
Structural versatility.
Steel-framed fabric structures are incredibly versatile. Not only are they applicable to a wide range of uses, they can retract and expand, be incorporated into other structures, and even be placed shipboard.

Fabric structures allow you
to do more with less.
Steel-framed fabric structures cost significantly less than traditional construction and can be procured and operational in a fraction of the time.
Steel-Framed Fabric Structures are
highly adaptable:
Customized knee-wall height and material
Fire suppression
HVAC systems
Overhead cranes
Exhaust systems
Door types & locations
Insulation
Modular interior spaces
Power & lighting systems
Because they’re manufactured offsite by RUBB Building Systems and assembled on-site, Cocoon projects cause far less disruption on base.
