  • We can put a sump in it (remember, these are built to the customer's specs). Thing is, they are tight as a drum. The only way they are going to flood is if the ground above is underwater to some depth. And we always recommend that installations never take place in a flood plain.

  • how much would a shelter like this cost? any payment options?

  • how long will the generator run without refueling?

  • @rangeclerk Its supposed to be underground, and when you think about it, usually, your supposed to have reinforced steel rod + concrete above it, then buried. I doubt a nuke would take it out unless its impact is within an astronomicay close range, and because of the concrete + dirt, an emp wouldnt be a problem. The radiation should die off afterwords within, at most, 4 weeks. As long as you have something to pass the time and something to eat and drink, youd survive.

  • what about a sump for flooding

  • Remarkable!  :)

  • It is THAT kind of emergency that the bolted panel on the ceiling is for. No matter what happens topside, you're going to be able to open that hatch. It will take a bit of work, but those bolts also represent security in holding that panel in place against forces above. If you want fast egress, you use additional blast doors. Presumably, unanticipated fast egress though from these shelters is not going to be needed. At least not in a situation where your other means of escape are unusable.

  • I'll spell it out for you, skylpatt ...

    The main blast hatches and/or vault doors (how many and what kind are specified by the buyer) are usually built to open upward or outward. This allows for the most secure latching from within and makes it very difficult to breach by intruders outside or for extreme storm winds push the entries in and open. The point of the emergency escape hatch with bolts is that you use that if the other entries are blocked by debris that the 8-ton jacks can't move ...

  • the emergency excape hatch isnt very emergency is it YOU HAVE UNBOLT IT
