In today’s world, government agencies and civil organizations are expected to ensure an adequate flow of services without disruption and under any circumstances. Organizations are required to continue functioning without major disruption during any crisis situation and quickly recover after the crisis, natural or manmade disasters.
Post 9/11 trauma and increasing threats by terrorist activities world over, created alarm in the minds of not only Govt agencies but in Business Houses and Private individuals too, for some increasing demand for highly protected facilities for few years. But, as the time passed, the simplistic “low cost” model took over this approach again. Now the recent trauma created by COVID-19, has again shaken the minds of public world over to understand the importance of the desired safety and protection in case of such disasters whether natural or man made. People in most countries have now realized that the concepts like Lock Down, Button UP, Close Door Isolation are no more the myths but these are the realities of life which can be forced upon us any time in future due to the changing environment world over and as recently experienced by them so practically in their own personal life. People in many countries (mostly rich and big businessmen) are now ready to spend a part of their money on strengthening/hardening of their existing houses/bungalows against such disasters and even to construct a separate hardened emergency home or a shelter for them where they can easily shift with their families in case of any such emergencies.
We at , provide our expert services for such construction of Private Houses, Bungalows, Farm Houses, Flats, Basement Houses, Deep Under Ground Houses etc; and we even modify/upgrade the existing ones which can be safe and protected for use in any such emergencies. Following Specialised Services are generally provided by us in such houses/facilities:-
- To protect the house against any biological/chemical threat in the environment outside, the house is sealed with air/gas tight doors and windows from all around, so that no air from outside can enter the house during the Button Up Period of 7 days, 10 days, 15 days or even upto 30 days in some cases as per requirements of the clients.
- A Button Up Period is defined as the period during which no outside air is taken for human inhalation (being contaminated or suspected to be contaminated) and the occupant’s safety and survival are ensured by maintaining the indoor air quality in the house as per the international standards and guidelines prescribed under such crisis situations.

All this is done as per laid down international standards and norms for such important facilities to remain safe and functional before, during and after such disasters.
