Complete Underground
Bomb/Fallout Shelter Ceiling Kit

 

American Safe Room designs and manufactures a wide variety of quality blast protection and NBC air filtration equipment.

We have engineered a kit the provides all of the fabricated steel parts and critical components necessary to construct the ceiling of a steel reinforced concrete underground bomb shelter.

This kit was originally developed to work with cinder block walls, but it will work with any type of concrete wall. The best feature of this system is it will hold the wet concrete while it cures - no temporary supports are necessary!

Also - if you are considering building a shelter in a basement - be sure and see our basement fallout shelter page.

    The roof kit includes the steel trusses, the angle brackets, and the fasteners. All of the precision parts necessary to construct a ceiling on your underground shelter.

    With this roof truss kit you can pour a concrete span ceiling without erecting cribbing underneath to hold the weight of the concrete before it cures.

    See the detailed-parts-drawing-manual.pdf for specifications of these trusses. American Safe Room will fabricate these parts to order and ship them to your work site.

    This is not a "free bomb shelter plan" website that has some 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.
