Services
Steel Shelters
Steel shelters are cost-effective, blast-resistant structures designed to withstand nuclear, biological, and chemical threats. Engineered with arched ceilings for earth arching, they include radiation-attenuating entrances and EMP shielding. Customizable for size and threat level, these shelters provide durable protection against extreme weather and disasters.
Concrete Shelters
Concrete shelters offer long-term durability and Swiss-standard protection against radiation, blast, and chemical agents. Designed with thick walls and specialized ventilation, they accommodate large groups and integrate seamlessly into residential or commercial properties. Ideal for high-risk areas requiring permanent, robust solutions.
Ventilation Systems
Swiss-made ventilation systems ensure clean air in shelters with HEPA and charcoal filters. Capable of manual or electric operation, they provide positive pressure to block contaminants. Tested against all war gases, these systems meet NBC protection standards for nuclear and chemical threats.
Fallout Shelters
Fallout shelters are engineered to block gamma radiation with 4+ feet of dirt cover and shielded entrances. Designed for post-nuclear scenarios, they include blast valves and filtration systems. Meets Swiss standards for radiation attenuation and long-term occupancy.
Storm Shelters
Storm shelters protect against hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes with reinforced steel or concrete. Features include blast-hardened doors, dual entrances, and emergency supplies. Designed for quick access and comfort during severe weather events.
