Bunker - what is this building? For what purpose are they being built, who is doing it? What are they like? What determines the functionality of the bins and their effectiveness. These are extremely interesting questions that will be answered in the framework of this article.
general information
The power of knowledge. And first you need to understand the meaning of the word "bunker". It is used to designate a protective structure that can be used to save from a number of threats, such as: terrorists, fires, the consequences of war (a nuclear strike in particular), a catastrophic pandemic (epidemiological) situation. This is what the bunker is like. The definition of its goals directly affects the technology of construction. So, one thing is construction, designed to protect against nuclear attack. Quite different is a 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 began to build actively since the First World War. But then they were exclusively dealt with by the state. During the Cold War, a type of building such as a private bunker began to appear. It was a rather small and modest shelter, allowing you to wait the first few days or weeks after the strike. They found a second life 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, it was not “Spartan” buildings that were built, but convenient, comfortable dwellings in which people could live for months and even years.
The USA is considered the leader in this segment. What explains this popularity? The fact is that the bunker is a rather convenient structure. It can help 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, relaxation room, study and other things, which is enough for the imagination.
How much does it cost?
Although the bunker market in the Russian Federation cannot boast of significance (only a few buildings are created per year), some data is still available. 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 in the room.
So, the price of a small bunker with minimum characteristics for 3-5 people starts 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 to three months. Their cost starts from 10 million rubles. If you set the estimated period of construction at around 2-3 years, then such a construction will cost 500 million rubles. In addition, the cost of maintaining the building in working condition should also be taken into account. The price depends on the specific object and starts from the mark of 150 thousand rubles.
