Rubb Hall
A Rubb Hall is a commercial name for particularly large, relocatable tent-like structure often used in situations of emergency (e.g. humanitarian) and temporary industry (e.g. construction projects). The name derives from Rubb Building Systems, and Hall Engineering of Bergen Norway, manufacturers of this kind of structure. Other types of similar structure include HAGUHALL.

Nesttun contains a mall, several smaller shops, a library, and Birkeland Church. Climate A problem facing Nesttun is flooding after heavy rain.

Transport Until the opening of the Ulriken Tunnel in 1964, Nesttun was a station on the Bergensbanen railway, and a station on the Nesttun-Osbanen railway until its closure in 1935. After lengthy construction work, the two double-lane roads which went through the centre of Nesttun were converted into a pedestrian mal ...
