Commercial & Comunity Storm Shelters – Torshel Storm Shelters

The most valuable asset of any company is not its facilities, machines, or products. It is their team of:

Employees, executives, and clients

You can work with peace of mind with Torshel’s commercial multipurpose storm shelter, panic room, and safe vault. Our storm shelters are designed to protect you against severe weather events, and our safe rooms are fortified spaces that can be used in various threatening situations. You, your staff, and your clients will have the reassurance of a secure room ready for any threatening occasion.

Entities that conduct vital services or protection to the community, such as police stations and fire departments, have purchased storm shelters from us. These shelters provide a secure space for personnel and equipment during emergencies, ensuring continuity of operations and safety for all.

At Torshel, we firmly believe that public or private buildings should be prepared with a storm shelter on their premises. This proactive approach ensures the safety of everyone inside.

At Torshel, we value collaboration. We work closely with architects and engineering firms to install safe rooms in their projects, ensuring the safety of their designs (i.e., hotels, schools, offices, banks, gas stations, manufacturing facilities, oil and gas companies, etc.).

Torshel Commercial Storm Shelters are intended for short-term use, typically a few minutes to hours. Those units require different amenities and are designed to offer protection and coverage for more extended periods. Our safe rooms can be installed inside your existing or new facility (i.e., warehouse) or outside on a poured concrete slab floor.

For Business

Consider this: your employees spend eight or more hours at their workplace, often in offices lined with glass windows. These are not safe havens during a storm. Trying to remain safe during severe weather events, such as a tornado in such conditions, is a futile exercise. Your business associates, staff, and clients deserve the proper degree of safety during tornado and panic emergencies, and the need for immediate action is now.

As responsible leaders, we advise you to take the initiative and install storm shelters throughout your company’s facilities. Your proactive steps can make a significant difference in ensuring the safety of your employees.

For Schools

Across the nation, powerful tornados have been reported to cause an increasing number of fatalities and injuries in schools. The traditional practice of ducking and covering in a school’s hallway or auditorium during a tornado is not enough. Safety measures like storm shelters are necessary to protect our children and school staff.

Torshel can install storm shelters in existing schools, inside each classroom, or during the construction of a new facility. We encourage parents and schools to organize fundraising since federal funds are hard to obtain or unavailable.

For Police and Fire Stations

Those community or personal crisis first responders should be protected during devastating storms. Unfortunately, their lack of proper protection against nature’s most violent storms can profoundly and negatively impact the rest of us. Let’s remember their safety in our preparations.
