Bunker - what is this building? What is the purpose of building them, who is doing it? What are they like? What determines the functionality of bunkers and their efficiency. These are extremely interesting questions that will be answered in this article.
General information
Power in knowledge. And first you need to understand the meaning of the word "bunker". It is used to denote a protective structure that can be used to save from a number of threats, such as: terrorists, fires, the consequences of war (nuclear strike in particular), a catastrophic pandemic (epidemiological) situation. That's what a bunker is. The definition of its goals directly affects the technology of construction. So, one thing is a building designed to protect against a nuclear strike. Quite different - the command bunker near the front line.
About construction
Typically, a bunker is an underground structure, the creation of which is guided by the following consideration: for greater safety, deeper. Although there are also semi-buried or even ground structures.
They are being builtactively began since the First World War. But at that time, only the states were engaged in them. During the Cold War, a type of building such as a private bunker began to appear. It was a fairly small and modest shelter, allowing one to wait out the first few days or weeks after an impact. They found a second life already at the beginning of the twenty-first century (a special role should be given to preparing for the end of the world in 2012). Moreover, not “Spartan” buildings were built, but comfortable comfortable dwellings in which people could live for months and even years.
The US is considered the leader in this segment. What explains such popularity? The fact is that the bunker is a rather convenient structure. It can provide shelter from nuclear, chemical and biological hazards, burglars and robbers, tornadoes, tornadoes and hurricanes, shelling during a war or other territorial conflict. In peacetime, it can serve as a wine cellar, pantry, recreation room, office, and anything else you can imagine.
How much does it cost?
Although the market for bunkers in the Russian Federation cannot boast of being significant (only a few buildings are built per year), there is still some data. Design and construction are considered separately. The first, as a rule, is individual, because this product has not become mass. The price is affected by the degree of protection, the number of people and the time that will be spent indoors.
So, the price of a small bunker with minimum characteristics for 3-5 peoplestarts at 5 million rubles. If we talk about buildings that are designed to protect against a nuclear threat, then here the cost is measured in dollars. After all, this is a completely different level, requiring the use of high-end technologies. In practice, such orders are extremely rare.
The most common option is a container-type bunker, in which a dozen people can live up to two or three months. Their cost starts from 10 million rubles. If the settlement period of the construction is set at around 2-3 years, then such a construction will cost 500 million rubles. In addition, the cost of maintaining the building in working order should also be taken into account. The price depends on the specific object and starts at 150 thousand rubles.
