Complete Underground
Bomb/Fallout Shelter Kit
American Safe Room engineered a kit the provides all of the fabricated steel parts and critical components necessary to construct a true steel reinforced concrete underground bomb shelter.

We have discontinued the structural ceiling portion of the kit, but we have put the manual and fabrication drawings on this web page for free. This will allow you to have these heavy steel elements fabricated locally. Scroll down to download these documents.

If you build this kit - or any concrete bomb shelter - our blast protection components and air filtration systems will drop right in to give you the best blast protection and NBC air filtration available.
This concept nukes the conventional wisdom that a true steel reinforced concrete shelter is more expensive than prefabricated shelters - to our knowledge, this kit has the least in the ground cost of any serious shelter you can buy - it's simple and solid. It was written about in the New York Sun (although they got our name wrong).

    The cost of each kit depends upon what options you choose. Here is a sample price:

    For the 21-foot, 4-inch long by 10-foot wide kit shown in the Installation and Operation Manual, the price is: $16,000, plus shipping. This price includes:

    • All of the precision manufactured steel parts
    • All of the pre-cut and shaped rebar, including enough for one riser
    • A single blast hatch for that riser
    • Two 8-foot ladder sections for a 16-foot ladder
    • An ASR-100N-NBC Safe Cell air filtration/ventilation system
    • Two blast valves (one each for the air intake and exhaust pipes)
    • One overpressure valve
    • Free telephone technical support

    If you prefer to fabricate your own precision steel parts, instead of purchasing them from us, we offer a companion manual - the Detailed Parts Drawings Manual - complete with dimensions and all the data necessary to hand fabricate every part that we normally provide in our kit. If, after reviewing the parts drawings, you decide to purchase these parts from us, the cost of this companion manual is refunded. These two manuals are designed to work together in order to be complete plans that will allow you to build your own high quality, engineered shelter. For more information, please see the Forwards (2 separate documents) to the manuals and the sample page from the Detailed Parts Drawing Manual below.

    This is not a "free bomb shelter plan" website that has some recycled old government drawings from the 1950's or some do-it-yourself "field expedient" scheme that someone dreamed up based on the contents of his garage - this kit utilizes the best (and least expensive) construction methods available to help you create a true steel reinforced concrete blast resistant underground bomb shelter.

    Want a shelter built for you?

    American Safe Room recommends Hardened Structures.

    They offer complete design and build services for hardened structures, bomb shelters, fortified homes, underground bunkers, commercial and residential hardening and safe rooms since 1995 using registered architects and engineers in all 50 U.S. States and Canada.

       

The kit in the manuals above utilizes steel common concrete blocks made from 1,000-PSI concrete for the walls. These are reinforced with 4,000-PSI concrete and custom-shaped steel rebar. The foundation is steel reinforced concrete and the ceiling is constructed of wide flanged steel beams, rebar and concrete. It is possible to construct this shelter in 2 pours of concrete:

    • Excavate the hole and level the bottom
    • Lay in the Build forms and lay rebar
    • Pour the footing pad (floor)
    • Construct the walls
    • Assemble the pre-cut ceiling beams and reinforcements in place
    • Pour the roof concrete - which will flow down and reinforce the wall blocks
    • Install the ingress/egress ports - hatches and doors
    • Backfill the structure
    • Install the ventilation/filtration unit- the Safe Cell

Once you realize how easy and relatively inexpensive it is to have a true steel reinforced concrete underground shelter, all of the others will pale in comparison. Every documented bomb shelter constructed by governments from small budget dictatorships up to superpowers have been constructed of steel reinforced concrete.

Our kit comes with a comprehensive installation manual showing every step and the math behind the engineering. The only things showing up at your home will be a couple of pallets of locally purchased cement blocks, a locally rented extended boom backhoe, a local concrete truck, and an "erector set" of pre-fabricated steel reinforcements - all the makings of a good "basement" or "wine cellar."

If you purchase a pre-fabricated shelter, the crane boom you just paid to have erected in your backyard will beg your neighbors to show up to ask "why you are burying a submarine in your backyard?" (the access riser appears to be a submarines conning tower). What safe place will your neighbors think of first when the roads are clogged and evacuation is delayed or impossible?

This is not some "free bomb shelter plans" type of shelter. It is not designed to be priced for everyone like "duct tape and plastic." It is designed to be the least expensive way to construct a true engineered underground steel reinforced concrete bomb shelter.
