Our company, TEBRIX Slovakia s.r.o., offers the design and construction of permanent pressure-resistant shelters that meet the highest standards of safety for civil protection purposes.
These shelters are designed for use in any type of crisis situation, whether military or non-military threats such as natural disasters, unrest, terrorism, environmental catastrophes, etc. They include not only reinforced workplaces and civil protection shelters, but also private shelters – suitable for use not only during emergencies.
The shelters we offer provide the possibility of long-term habitation, on the order of months, depending on the client’s requirements. The structural design, internal layout, and equipment level of the shelter are tailored accordingly – however, this does not affect the scope or level of safety features that ensure survival. These safety elements are supplied as standard in all types and categories of shelters and are included regardless of the required duration of stay or the nature and extent of shelter use during a crisis (desired survival period in the shelter).
Given the nature and required level of protection, the shelter is situated on a foundation slab at least 5 meters underground and covered with sufficient soil to ensure the required level of protection even in the event of military threats (blast waves, chemical or radioactive fallout, etc.). Alternatively, the shelter may be placed beneath existing infrastructure or buildings so that a significant part of it is naturally shielded. All of this is addressed during the preparation of the conceptual design and subsequent construction and technical project. The construction meets the strictest criteria for strength and insulation properties.
The structural solution ensures comfortable access to the shelter, survival inside with full defense and life-protection functions during the stay, and includes an emergency escape route if necessary. The realization of the underground shelter includes all the technologies necessary for survival during a crisis – and not only that – the shelter can be used even outside of crisis situations and includes:
Systems ensuring mechanical security and structural resistance of the shelter (shelter body and construction/design, vault-style entrance, decontamination room, smoke screen system, etc.)
Systems for securing drinking water (water purification system) and water heating
Systems for air purification and recuperation (filter-ventilation equipment for air cleaning and treatment)
Systems for extracting unusable/non-recyclable air, vapors, combustion gases, exhaust fumes, etc.
Air cooling and heating systems
Fire protection system
Kitchen and food preparation area
Personal hygiene facilities
Systems for wastewater and infiltration drainage
Storage space for survival supplies
Technical rooms for shelter systems (double floors in every room)
Distribution of air, water, energy, and fuels (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, etc.), communication network, and connection to the outside world
Standard and emergency lighting systems, including lighting that simulates day and night (warm and toned lighting according to the time of day)
Solid waste disposal system (regular and contaminated waste)
Environmental monitoring system
Warning system for intruder detection, and environmental situation changes during crises (air quality, weather anomalies, flood risks, etc.)
Individual protective equipment (health and chemical protection kits 1:1), group protection (1:5 or 1:10 – based on client specification)
The shelter ensures survival and a fully functional existence during a crisis, as well as usability outside of emergency situations, covering all essential life functions and needs (water, air, heating, cooling, waste, communication, food and medical supplies, energy, etc.).
Note: Where required by their function and purpose, systems are duplicated – both electric/digital and mechanical or analog.
Construction preparation includes the processing and confirmation/approval of the conceptual plan. This is followed by the processing and approval of the technical construction project for the implementation of the plan.
As part of our consultation, we will provide you with all the information necessary for your decision-making and for defining the scope and method of project execution. At the same time, we will gather from you all the information required to create a professional estimate of the project’s timeline, material requirements, and budget.
