The largest steel company in the world trusts Survive-A-Storm Shelters with the lives and safety of their employees–and they know a thing or two about steel! If you’re not an engineer, you can rely on the fact that our community shelters are sealed by the National Storm Shelter Association (NSSA), tested at Texas Tech University, and used by US Steel Company. How do you know you can trust a Survive-A-Storm transitional community storm shelter to protect you from an EF5 tornado? If you’re an engineer, the answer will be self-evident. These uniquely designed transitional community storm shelters are also ideal for construction crews and road crews working in remote areas where it may be difficult to seek shelter in the event of a tornado strike. Constructed of quarter-inch steel, the transitional community storm shelter is designed and engineered to withstand the powerful forces of 250 MPH EF5 tornado winds. A massive steel ballast foundation is filled with sand or soil, covered with a steel floor, and then fitted with a Quonset-style above-ground community storm shelter. These transitional community storm shelters are designed to be ballasted by sand or the overburden removed from a shallow excavation. We know that outdoor workers have a hard job, and we’re there to make sure that they are safe while they are doing it. Our transitional community storm shelters are a practical, easily deployable, and relocatable storm sheltering solution for 10-1,500+ occupants. We understand the importance of protecting your employees from the severe wind risks posed by quickly developing storms that can spawn EF5 tornadoes. Survive-A-Storm has placed hundreds of storm shelters throughout Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Ohio, and other states in Tornado Alley. The Survive-A-Storm transitional community storm shelter was developed in response to requests by our friends in the oil and gas industry for semi-permanent but relocatable transitional community storm shelters to protect oil field workers from tornadoes. The ballast is removed, the foundation loaded back onto a truck, and the soil returned to original source.
When it’s time to relocate the shelter, the process is reversed.
Once filled, the shelter is fitted to the transitional foundation and solidly bolted in place. Survive-A-Storm’s transitional community tornado safe rooms are installed by performing a shallow excavation from which overburden (soil) is removed and replaced by a large metal box, which is then ballasted (filled) will the excavated overburden. The Survive-A-Storm line of transitional storm shelters employs a ballasting system that enables the temporary deployment of large Quonset-style community tornado safe rooms in the field without the need for permanent foundations. Survive-A-Storm Shelters has developed a novel solution for providing storm shelters for mobile workforces such as road crews, foresting teams, and oilfield workers.
