Wildfire Safety Bunkers:
The First & Only Fully Accredited Fire Safety Bunkers

 

Standard Features:

All components and specifications listed below have been rigorously tested and scrutinised by the Building Commission of Victoria before product accreditation was granted to Wildfire Safety Bunkers Pty Ltd.

 

The bunkers are constructed from a custom made concrete blend which is 100mm / 4" thick. This solidly reinforced concrete structure is not only incredibly strong at 65 mPa concrete strength - it is water and impact resistant. All components used on the door and its surrounds are made from high grade stainless steel. Every bunker door is fitted with an outside temperature gauge and the handle mechanism is designed in such a way that occupants inside the bunker can always release the door even if it has been padlocked from the outside.

 

All bunkers are fitted with a high temperature viewing port for outside observations. The bunkers are fitted with ventilation shafts that have shut off doors fitted inside the bunker. These doors are left open when not in use to stop the build up of condensation and to allow fresh air in should someone find themselves unable to exit the bunker. All Wildfire Safety Bunkers will be identified by GPS coordinates; this will be taken during installation. All coordinates and bunker maintenance will be logged on Wildfires data base. The bunkers are easily installed (4 hrs in clean soil) and can be removed and relocated elsewhere at a later date if required.

 

All bunkers installed come with a comprehensive operations manual and the owners are trained on the correct use of the bunker on site after installation is completed. All products are now bitumen coated for added water resistance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bunker Types:

The 6 person bunkers external dimensions are – 2.0 m wide x 2.6 m long x 2.1 m high. They are delivered to site as a factory finished unit and simply craned into position or delivered in two halves and joined on site.

 

The 12 person bunkers external dimensions are – 2.4 m wide x 4.2 m long x 2.4 m high. These units are delivered to site as three separate components and are joined on site by our qualified installers.

 

Both units are passive air supply only and can give refuge for up to one (1) hour.

 

The Wildfire Safety Bunker construction is of Concrete and Stainless Steel to all exposed surfaces and a ventilation system ensures air circulation through the bunker when not in use – this is necessary to keep air moisture levels down in the bunker while not operating. It is essential to ensure that the ventilation system is closed when taking shelter in the event of a fire.

 

Installation and transport are variable depending on location (Bunkers are delivered by Crane Truck where possible) and site conditions (e.g. : excavation in rock ?). We will advise you on the appropriate site location and installation of our Fire Bunker. We can also advise you on Council Planning and State Building Code requirements to install one of our units on your site.
