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.

doors and a blast hatch

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.

We
have put our complete drawing package into the public domain.
Why? We believe that once you see the technical expertise
presented in this document, you will come to us for your
NBC air filtration needs. We manufacture every critical
part you need - from the blast door to the blast valve -
and everything in between. |

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.
