Storm Shelter Installation

For Underground Shelters 4 or 6 Adult sized models, Integrity Storm Shelter Will Follow These Steps:

STEP 1: Dig the Hole

The hole dimensions will depend upon the size of the shelter. In this case, we are installing the Storm-Tek LS-6, a 6-adult capacity unit.These units require modestly-sized excavation equipment, so the damage to the surrounding area is minimal, even when soil conditions are not favorable.

STEP 2: Install the Shelter

Rigid pipes are installed through the bottom of the shelter, to anchor the shelter underground. The shelter is then lowered into the leveled hole.

STEP 3: Install the Anchors

The rigid pipe anchor system is then backfilled and a fiberglass mat is inserted to complete the anchor system. When finished, this mat holds the shelter in the ground during tornados and high winds.

STEP 4: Backfill The Hole

The material excavated from the hole is then backfilled around the shelter. The excess material is left on-site to allow for settling of the backfilled material.

Add Your Own Finishing Touches

Final site finishes can be attractive and creative. Adding lights, CATV, phones and alarm systems will add measures of comfort for you and your family as you ride out the storm in your Integrity Storm Shelter.
