I’m in the excavation business you might want to use slide rail shoring if you’re going to be 20 feet deep and that tight of hole . Slower but nobody gets hurt . Good to know that there will be doctors around after the SHTF. Probably going to be hard to dig one up. Looks good
Pretty sure that’s an OSHA requirement if you don’t use stepped or sloped sidewalls.
Vertical trench walls 5' or greater in depth requires a protective system, period. In your other videos I typically see sloped banks. Please don't get someone killed.
Yeah in Australia this operation is illegal due to unsafe procedures in a trench with no safety.
Hey you guys have a very good reputation when it comes to survival shelters and build quality. It's always entertaining to watch your videos and see how these bunkers are installed. I would recommend reevaluating your crews and how they are installing bunkers of this style. That hole was way too deep to not have steel supports holding the dirt back. I know your company is known for taking the extra step to do what is right, and I would highly recommend shoring the walls on a job site like that before someone gets buried from a wall collapsing.
I agree . One fatality could shut this company down.
I was stunned to see the lack of sidewall support. As far as I can recall from my digging career, any "trench" in Washington State deeper than 4' requires a "trench box".
A high school friend was envied by everyone we knew when he was hired right after school (1976) by a company doing municipal work. Then he was killed in a trench collapse. I think his death prompted the new law.
Simply battering the walls back
Trench collapse death is no joking matter.
It’ll only collapse in once can’t believe people are getting into such a dangerous environment
Thats probably the nicest place ive ever seen a farmer set up for defense from raids on illegal migrant labor. Nicely done
That reminds me of seeing pipelines getting backfilled. Slowly and carefully. A few inches at a time and compacting, hoping it doesn’t rain.
The best of everything; top - notch bunkers, personnel, and equipment!
I drive a concrete next truck for a living, that's floable fill. Looks like they added a bunch of water to it before the poor too I think it's gotta be at least A full 12" slump if not more. Though when most people are filling in under culverts and other such objects they do generally use A vibrator to make sure it's settled underneath.
I also forgot to add that whatever concrete company that is my God their trucks are antiquated! The one that I use has an actual Bluetooth remote control. To control all the drum functionality with not old hand lovers that I have to physically grab on the back end!
Yeah, when I first saw them getting ready to pour and I didn't see a bunch of donkey dicks dangling down in the hole I thought "these jokers ain't getting full coverage" lol. Then I saw them pouring out that ol' flo and knew it'd get there.
Still wouldn't trust that hole to get that truck that close, though
No French drain and pump system. Hope they don’t regret that
That’s the biggest coffin I’ve ever seen 😳
Another fantastic video about how to install a Atlas Survival shelter. Take care and be safe. See you on your next video.
I was putting in a water line in Butte Montana in the backhoe driver was down in the ditch with a couple city water guys I just climbed out and the dumbass that owned the company pushed the dirt in at the other end of the block causing the whole street to collapse bearing the operator alive never knew this but we ended up having to dig the guy down right to his foot You can't pull it injured person out and luckily he only had some broken ribs a bruised kidney and lung and lived We had no ditch box
Awesome! Thanks for doing a culverts Video
You could terrace the hole, for safety, and use it as a place for water, propane, air tanks.
Some osha dude is watching this rn 😂 just losing it 😂
best install video yet.
Shotcrete would be a good way of starting a pour fill in 6. 7" thick or thicker. Then fill
No way I'd be working in that hole\trench. Trench walls need to be shored or at least benched on each side.
It's good to know that amoung the few survivors of TEOTWAWKI, there will be a healthy number of doctors. I'm hoping for engineers too.
Yeah they’ll be able to care for the Kardashians and other braindead celebs/politicians when they emerge and stub their wittle toes our bones. Lovely.
unfortunately the dumb ass rich will out number the people with all the necessary skills. The people who have all the practical knowledge and skills to do the necessary tasks to promote a well rounded community. Not so many If any farmers, carpenters, mechanics etc.. will have bunkers. So much lost knowledge and the needed skill sets gives way to no-minds and useless people besides doctors ect..............
Better hope for a BUBCH of farmers!
@Alfred Sutton every doctor and engineer can become a farmer in very short time. But it do not work the other way around
great so the dr diagnosed your gall stone after civilization has been destroyed.... _now_ _what_ ? dr's are useless without tech and pharma.
That’s awesome, in the near future Atlas will be in stalling me and my family a under bunker system in central Oklahoma.
Thanks for the great videos.
Best Regards
Ron Tuley
Oklahoma has a high water table. Most underground bunkers flood.
Shouldn't post you name if you're really getting one. Can be tracked down easily.
One of at least two locations I intend to buy land when I move to the USA.
Sturgis South Dakota and somewhere in Texas probably in the north.
I'd definitely get them installed rather than doing it.
Great video Ron and to the guys that did it.
Have a ripper mate!
So you’re coming to my country to dig a hole to survive in? Lemme guess? You’re also bringing your Aussie authoritarian mindset and voting habits with you that keep leading society towards this doom? Oh goody!
Welding galv w/o respirators? 😬
Dangerous work. The trench should be graduated every 1 meter deep x 1 meter wider. To reduce cave-ins
Wayyyyy to deep, and absolutely no wall shoring. How these guys haven't been shut down by OSHA yet is wild.
This one gets my vote for most-awesome install: Nice and deep, and cradled with concrete.
Badass, I hope to have one someday
OMG a safety sally would have a field day with this, no yellow vests, no hard hats, no fail protection.... lets see what other stupid rules I can think of....... Nice video
Yeah... My biggest concerns was the guy standing on the top of the bunker with that concrete down the bottom (What if he fell into the concrete?) as well as the guys working down at the bottom of the hole - major cave-in risk.
Yes ... but it's their 'right'!!
There's a very fine line between 'safe' and 'catastrophic'.
This time they were lucky.
@18:36 no guard on the angle grinder
Nice to know that when humans go under ground to survive they are still following EPA septic standards.
This was good to watch and all I need to do now is win the money to buy one lol.
Professional shelters made right. Installations always perfect. 🇺🇸
"holes are dangerous"... Ya without spoil piles distanced from the edge, let alone edge protection, sloping or stair stepping, shoring, or PPE of any kind for the people in the 20 foot hole. Genius.
in the past, a separate company used a rock as a brace, that ended up puncturing the tube. im guessing the blunt ends of the wood railroad ties and the plywood is safer and wont do any harm in the long run?
install videos like this!!!! I wanna see it, I don't wanna be "sold" the whole time..................
I previously asked if a square modular shelter can have an A-frame on top to give it extra strength below. I received an adequate answer. But now that I see this culvert shelter installed, I wonder if a half section of a culvert can be put on the ceiling of a square shelter and give it extra strength below. How deep would you be able to bury such a shelter?
Yes. That’s how old brick and stone archways are still standing. The stress only makes the arch stronger.
This would be amazing to have but imagine how rambunctious kids would get after just a day of being in there 😅You can only play Mario Kart and watch Frozen so much before you get bored.
Leave them outside
FUNNY 😂
You are going to need a whole movie collection on a USB drive/drives and lot more games.
If you gotta stay in one of these for an extended period then things outside aren’t good and boredom would be your least worry.
@@freedomisntfree_44 True, you got to make sure you have enough MRE meals and water for at least 6 months minimum for nuclear radiation for the amount of people in the bunker, so one or two MRE meals a day per person.
Wish I could afford one. Don’t need a large one just enough for my wife and 2 daughters.
What are the trade-offs between culvert and I-beam? Why would someone choose one over the other? Thanks.
Culvert is hard to put in
Is culvert better? If it's more difficult to install, does that make it more expensive? Why does a customer choose culvert? Thanks.
@@AtlasSurvivalShelters So do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? Can the Culverts get buried deeper or something?
@@michaelcase8231 culverts can be buried deeper. 42 feet. This is actually unnecessary, but I believe the culvert design is cheaper as it’s prefabricated and thinner
I wished I could afford one buddy we’re thinking about concrete boxes and those Swiss air filters and other things up at our off grid cabins one for 15 people during a storm or tornado !!
If you can survive off grid you should be able to make your own for fairly cheap. Culvert pipe isn't that expensive. Especially if it's only for storms, you don't need much for that.
We can only do 6" lifts here. What did the test show with these lifts? Or did you not have to test?
Awesome! Oh and please let me be a special guest when you have a show on discover channel! lol
I want one for my home un Spain!!!!❤❤❤❤
Bueno
OSHA be looking at this vid like 🕵♂🕵♂
If it ever does happen the army will take everything to maintain itself, they'll "ask" everyone politely who survives and the neighbors will give up everything,then tell them about the big bunker down the road, they'll turn up looking official and also ask "politely".
They are developing technology to detect bunkers now. Small and large ones. Ron mentioned it in his latest interview with Canadian Prepper.
But Ron, do you really approve the way these guys did there job??
Not the hole. I was not there. It is very dangerous Doing straight walls with soft dirt. I always want it stair stepped back
@@AtlasSurvivalShelters No safety glasses while cutting grinding!
@@AtlasSurvivalShelters That's what I was thinking. The dirt is too soft.
Haha I was thinking the exact same thing. Ron would be the “stiff neck guy running around with a stick up his ass” making sure everybody was doing things right. 💀😭
@@michaelwhittaker5624 And we can be thankful for that.
I wish I could put an underground safety shelter at my property but my water table is way WAY too high. We hit ground water at 3 ft down putting in fruit trees. So no underground anything for me.
Unless you made a hill!
Some day@!!!!!!!!
epic!!!
Is that concrete or flowable fill?
Niiiiceeeeeeeeeeeeee thanks 🙂
With the way things are these days and times my wife and I would be good just living in it the way it is and besides that that thing would be very very efficient being that far in the ground with staying cool in the summer and warm during winter.....damn good safety thing especially!!!! Good job guys now come to IL. And fix us up please Sir
Where do you get those culverts? Are they built formyou or is it something you can buy?
Cool
That's amazing!
I wish I could work for a bunker company
*Company*
@@1nsurgent thank you
@@lloyd6455 yw, also their main bunker factory is in Texas, but you will need a welding certification/diploma (at least a 2 year diploma) if you want to work for Atlas Survival Shelter's.
How do you deal with Air bubbles when pooring the concrete? This would be a weak spot for it, not?
Vibrators
epic!
Is that all ash deposits from the last Yellowstone eruption?
One question, if anyone could answer, the cost of installation is on top of the cost of the bunker, correct? If so, how much would it likely cost for an installation?
What is cheaper and/or better a modular square or round culvert? 10x20 or 10x30?
Round is better, helps absorb the force of the earth better. But you should definitely do more research and not take my word for it.
I’ve never heard so many whinging girls in all my life there’s no shoring the sides might come in and bury someone get a life that’s how America was built buy real men good work guys
I have never seen pouring concrete on the side of the shelter I've always seen them doing the compact with sand.
Is their any pumped fresh air going in to that welder melting galvanized ?????
Normally they have a box fan running, this crew are doing their own thing though
No French drain, crushed stone or fabric barrier between stone n dirt?
Does that soil look wet to you?
@@____________________________.xdoes it rain in SD? YES. Does it snow in SD? YES. Hmmm, where does the snow melt and rain runoff go?
@@JohnSmith-gb5vgin my area at the height of summer if I dug down a few inches I’d have damp soil. They are 30 foot down and it’s still dry as a bone. French drains are not required in free drawing soils, which is SD. It doesn’t matter if it’s underwater every day, if it drains out that fast then you don’t have a drainage problem…
How do you know when the bomb will drop?
So you can get in in time.
That’s what emergency broadcasts to mobile phones are for. The DoD has radar in Alaska…
This is excactly how i would do it
I’m confused how that escape hatch works when there’s sand and dirt in it? I know it will fall but where?
He has videos about it. It falls to the only place it can, below it.
If one of your people is injured how do you plan on getting them down the entry tube?
The plan is to bring ‘em to the entrance and slide em down. Slow or fast, their preference
@@fmlymn1 Right on. That is a good looking shelter, I hope you guys never have to use it in a serious situation.
What they find gold or volcano erupt?
How many yards of concrete did you use?
40 or 50
Would it not have been easier and cheaper to fill underneath and the sides with 3/4 inch clear stone! Why concrete?
Should have used spray foam?
Thanks for the vid but Def not a Ron job. Issues with benching, shoring, excavator, compaction to say the least. I would love to see what it looks like in a year. Thanks for sharing
What's the sideload pressure under earthquake
Earthquakes vary
Just a question, why wouldn't yawl spray that galvanized pipe with hot tar before you burry it in dirt to keep it from rusting in the ground? What's the life span of these pipes?
$150k is the installed price? If not a range for installation please.
Cool soon as I hit the lotto I will buy a couple of them 😅
20 ft vertical soft dirt walls, No trench boxes, no harnesses on the crew....not a good safety video .
You beat me to it. Video full of idiots
What happens if you lose power supply ?
Or if your sewer pipe stops up! You have an onboard generator , but only so much diesel storage .
Kinda sketchy, what keeps it from crushing if the soil takes on unexpected moisture and flooding, sandy soil area.
I'm just kind of curious why they put about 4' at concrete Down at the bottom the bottom.
To support the strength of the pipe
Has anyone ever requested a way to get a mobile signal from inside a bunker and is it possible?
Yup, very easy to do. Could run the lines down the air vent or they could even run a separate pvc pipe for comms. Id want outside communication personally.
Repeater system like in hospitals.
Was the concrete from out of state 😂😂😂😅
Is that concrete or water ..... damn thats wet as f%#&
Slurry so it flows better under the bunker... will harden exactly like concrete.. because it is just more diluted.
Ridiculous it is could of been filled with semi dry and vibed would of filled better 🤷♂️
Anyone else think that septic pipe is 80ft long 😅😅😅😅
I think it would be considered "flowable fill". You are only looking for a compression strength of like 60 vs concrete which could be to rigid.
But thats from like 20 years ago.
@@rassensi8502 it’s not supporting anything other than a culvert pipe, vibing not required
yolo.
Generator?
I would have done concrete right to the top.
Not after an Engineer explained why that would be unnecessarily expensive
Looks like the stairs were installed too steep and would be harder to get in and out of.
That’s the customer’s specification
For radiation protection you want steep stairs and then your bunker entrance/blast door at a right angle. All backyard NBC shelters of this type have steep stairs. Without it, you don’t have a true NBC shelter, you just have a bunker.
@@DucknCoverin I'm not talking about the steepness of the entry, I'm talking about the levelness of the steps themselves. They were made to sit level, but those stairs are not level. They're tilted to the front and will cause slippage.
i want one of these as my permanent house
Its not the same video need to have Ron at the beginning of the video.
Nice video… sorry to be overly critical, but by showing the footage of the excess tunnel being cut off prior to the door being attached, you basically showed exactly how to breach the door 🤷🏻♂️ Just cut below the door and then remove the door 🤔🤔
I’m sure the good dr will be waitin for ya g u n z a blazing
It’s surrounded by 12” of concrete. Yiu can’t get to the pipe
@@AtlasSurvivalShelters Nice! 👍
Water has memory.
that'll be close to ground zero area
The worst happens, in you go. All is good until the bad guys bring a back hoe dig you out.😢
"Stuff Happens" I'm sure all this South Dakoka code.
I would not doubt if an installation for one of these is 50k usd
Pretty close
@AtlasSurvivalShelters my guess is anywhere between 50k and 100k. Not cheap but it comes with the complexity and skill of installation.
More sloping, but good job 👍
Of course they make the money....the rest of us who aren't on a doctor's salary will have to hope for the best when it comes to the need for a bunker.
GOOD but I don't like where they put those railway sleepers under the pipe and NOT under the end where the steel plate is.
It’s only to support the escape tunnel, the main section is already supported
@@____________________________.x Yes but if you bother to watch other Atlas videos this has been a BIG problem in the past already. If Ron had been there they would NOT have done it at all !
@@RJM1011 it depends what the client wants to pay for. Apparently the day rate for a site engineer is too much for millionaires 🤷♂️ But supporting a structure while the fill is added is not a big problem, as you can see it’s already supported by the main structure
@@____________________________.x It's a VERY BIG problem you would KNOW this if you bother to watch other Atlas videos !
@@RJM1011 so you’ve said, but I have watched all his videos and you’ve yet to clarify what you imagine is a big problem… Are you an Engineer?
Doctors are the reason and they know that viruses and other illnesses are coming. They are trying to protect themselves.
I have a idea if you want to collab if you want, about a bunker on the water. I'm serious
Just working on funds
Hmu direct
It’s called a boat, already been done, Putin has one
I would encase it all in concrete
No need
THAT CONCRETE IS WAY TO WET.
Nope
Wheres the shoring??
I would not want my bunker being held up with railroad ties . Not impressed with this install. I do not think I would allow mine to be installed by this crew. Where is Ron?
Ron was obviously not there. Subcontractor did this whole install and it’s running perfectly to this day. 5 years later. This was lost footage install from 2018
Its held up by cement.The ties were there to just set it level😊
@@jimmoca2182 from the video the cement stopped at the plywood bracing. Not under the other part
@@salt-team-six5883 which was an empty pipe not requiring any significant support… only the main section required a concrete cradle
