We Install And Sell 3 Types Of Tornado Shelters in Yukon
Coal Tar Epoxy is a heavy duty, high build protective coating which has high durability, is resistant to most corrosive reagents, and is excellent at sealing out moisture. It is commonly used in marine and industrial environments. It is primarily applied to steel to protect it from corrosion and rust. It is often seen on steel boat hulls, underground water and petroleum tanks and pipelines, offshore oil rigs, and dam gates. Our Coal Tar Epoxy underground tornado shelter is made of 10 gauge sheet metal. All welds are leak-tested to guarantee they will not allow ground water to seep into the shelter. After the shelter is fabricated, we apply a thick coating of Coal Tar Epoxy into the outside of the shelter. The Coal Tar Epoxy bonds to the steel and serves to protect the outside of the steel shield from rust and corrosion. The inside of the storm shield is painted with red oxide primer paint to protect the steel on the interior from corrosion and rust.

Our Hot Dip Galvanized tornado shelters are manufactured from TEN gauge sheet metal and flow tested ─ providing protection from rust and corrosion for a long-lasting, maintenance free tornado shelter. With a FIFTY year warranty Hot Dip Galvanizing is the process of dipping fabricated steel into a kettle or vat containing molten zinc. While the steel is in the pot, the iron from the steel metallurgically reacts with the molten zinc to form a tightly-bonded metal coating that offers superior corrosion protection to steel. Using zinc to protect steel from corrosion (hot-dip galvanizing) is a 150-year-old practice! Our Galvanized FlatSafe tornado shelter is made of 10 gauge sheet metal. All welds are leak-tested to guarantee they will not allow ground water to seep into the shelter. After the shelter is fabricated, the device is Hot-Dip Galvanized to protect your investment for an anticipated FIFTY + years.
