@astrialkil@safecastle Closed Cell Foam would offer nearly absolutely NO protection from FALLOUT, which is the purpose for the depth of the shelter. Sand is okay, but the more dense the material is the better fallout protection it can offer. Fill the escape hatch with sand, rice (a great neutron attenuator) clay soil or even top soil.
@housemasters1 Water from a well that stays underground dose not become irradiated so its shower time! The air its self dose not become irradiated, the dust in the air dose become irradiated so you have to filter it out. You can't store enough oxygen for 6 months under ground so you must filter fresh air to get new oxygen.
Thank you so much for posting these videos. While most families, including my own, cannot afford this type of shelter, your posting encourages us and gives us ideas that are very helpful. Once again, thank-you.
Cargo containers underground are a very bad idea. If they made sense, we would certainly use them. Essentially, they form the basis of an internet bunker mythology. Properly using them as forms for a heavily rebarred concrete shell is possible, but becomes far more expensive than steel plate in short order. Moreover, concrete is not as moisture resistant long term as properly prepared steel plate is.
Approximately 500 of these shelters (in various sizes and configurations) have been built and installed all over the US in the last 15 years, including many FEMA projects for communities and organizations. Our mission is to provide the most cost-effective, adequate threat protection possible, dollar for dollar, square foot for square foot. Simply put--there are cheaper shelters out there (you get what you pay for--beware of cut-rate swindlers) and there are far more expensive shelters.
Our shelters are lifetime-guaranteed for structural integrity and workmanship & are designed to meet or exceed FEMA standards & engineered to last 90+ years in any environment. They are designed by a structural engineer certified in the continental United States.
The steel used is almost twice as thick as what is required to meet the National Perfromance Criteria for Tornado Shelters.
"Rust-proof paint" is not a viable solution for applications like this. Underground Safecastle shelters receive two exterior coatings of a moisture-proof material for flawless moisture protection. In addition each shelter is equipped with magnesium anodes for cathodic protection against corrosion.
Where is the kitchen and storage for food and water?

Elite-quality air filtration systems are included in our NBC shelters that remove contaminants from the air.
Obviously, some accommodation for water is required--whether stored or via a well (preferably).

@jcrefuge Can the owner store and apply extra anodes him/her self?
astrialkil 1 year ago
@astrialkil I suppose that is possible. But to apply them you would need to dig up your shelter at a later date.
