COMMERCIAL AND COMUNITY STORM SHELTERS

The most valuable asset of any company is not its facilities, machines, or products. It’s their team of employees, executives, and clients. Torshel can help protect them while at work with a commercial multipurpose storm shelter, panic room, and safe vault in the event of a tornado, hurricane, robberies, shootings, and other types of incidents that may put them in danger. You, your staff, and clients will have peace of mind by counting on having a safe 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.

At Torshel, we firmly believe that public or private buildings should have a storm shelter on their premises. We work closely with architects and engineering firms to install safe rooms in their projects (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 a couple of hours. Such units are not considered to serve as Community Shelters. Those units require different amenities and are intended 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.

All Torshel Commercial Safe Rooms Share the Following Features

• Made of 1/4” ASTM A36 Structural Steel Walls and frame
• Exceeds FEMA 320, 361 and ICC 500 protocols
• Rated for EF5 tornadoes, 250 MPH winds
• Passed Texas Tech University National Wind Institute Test
• Some units come with a ADA toilet

In order to conduct a thorough and professional relationship with our clients, Torshel is willing to send out to the clients’ site a company representative to go over questions and concerns the client may have and evaluate the actual location of the installation site.

Safe Rooms for Businesses

Your employees spend eight or more hours at their workplace. For the most part, offices tend to be lined up with glass windows, which is not a safe surrounding during a storm. Trying to remain safe during severe weather events, such as a tornado in such conditions, is futile. Your business associates, staff, and clients deserve the proper degree of safety during tornado and panic emergencies.

We advise installing safe rooms throughout your company’s facilities.

Safe Rooms and Shelters for Schools

Across the nation, powerful tornados have been reported to cause an increasing number of fatalities and injuries in schools. Ducking and covering in the hallway or auditorium of a school during a tornado is not enough. Torshel can install safe rooms 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 simply unavailable.

Storm Shelters for Police and Fire Department Stations

Those who are the first responders to a community or personal crisis ought to be protected during the occurrence of devastating storms. Unfortunately, their lack of proper protection against nature’s most violent storms can have a negative impact on the rest of us.

WELDED COMMERCIAL UNITS CAN BE SHIPPED ANYWHERE IN THE USA
