Installation For Below Ground, Mound, Porch Safe |
Set in concrete. After the site is dug, the unit is set, concrete poured to embed unit. We retain option to use a tie down system for mound & porch safe units.
(This prevents floating out of the unit due to ground water levels) |
Installation
For Above Ground Units: Saferoom & Safeshed
|
All above ground
shelters are anchored with Hilti Epoxy (or equal) and anchors into
concrete slab; min requirement is 4" thick 3500 psi slab - typically the slab exceeds this
(This anchoring system makes the shelter become a part of
the concrete once it's anchored & prevents wind from tunneling beneath the shelter to lift it during a storm) |

Each seam is welded both inside and
outside. (Double welded) |
Outside of shelter : |
All
below grounds are covered with tar mastic (protects it
from rust)
