VFP - Concrete Shelters
VFP concrete shelters are constructed of reinforced panels, welded together for maximum structural strength. Joints are double-sealed with proprietary interlocking double keyway and step joint designs for superior weather protection. This construction is inherently bullet resistant to UL-752 level 4 (30-06 at 15 feet), has a 2-hour fire rating, and provides a high level of vandal protection. The complete shelter, as delivered by VFP, will include all required state inspections and certifications. Only the on-site installation and interconnection to site facilities will be subject to local building inspection and approval.
Products Details
Concrete shelters are used across a broad spectrum of markets. The flexibility of design and the inherent security of concrete protect your critical systems wherever they go. Cellular telephone, police, fire and emergency medical service radio systems, and utility control houses are but some of the many applications VFP Industries concrete shelters are serving.
Standard, single module shelters are available in widths to 16 feet with ceiling heights to 9 feet or more. Custom modular shelters are available in many configurations with standard widths to 40 feet and lengths to 100 feet or more. VFP Industries Field Service personnel provide world-wide, on-site assembly of modular shelters as well as installation and setup for all our products.
In addition to the standard exterior finishes shown, VFP offers a wide range of options to suit specific site requirements. Brick, block, and horizontal siding are among the many exterior finishes available. Optional roof designs include decorative metal, mansards, and pitched gables. Where zoning or other considerations require, we can match the shelter to almost any existing neighborhood.
Shelter interior finish includes commercial, light colored, vinyl tile floors. Proprietary wall and ceiling panels have a white laminate finish and are a secure mounting surface for installed equipment. Walls, floor and ceiling panels include high performance insulation with an overall R-11 thermal rating. Additional flooring, ceiling, and wall options are available and can be addressed prior to assembly.
The structure itself is just a part of the picture. VFP can design and install the power distribution components, generators, Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS), dc power systems, HVAC equipment, lighting, alarms, grounding, and more, all to customer specifications. In fact, VFP can even supply and install the communications equipment, relay racks, and customer-furnished equipment (CFE) as well. Tap into the expertise of VFP engineers to help configure your unique specifications.
Protecting your critical equipment and maintaining its operating environment are critical to maximizing system availability. VFP concrete shelters meet that challenge, exceeding all domestic building codes, including South Florida. With installed accessories specific to the location, such as doors and louvers certified for South Florida hurricane building codes, or ice shields to guard against falling tower ice, concrete shelters withstand the most severe weather conditions on the planet. Monsoon, blizzard, earthquake or hurricane - VFP shelters see it all and keep critical systems protected.
Delivery of completed shelters will be coordinated by VFP Transportation, including all over-the-road permitting and on-site crane. The shelter floor incorporates integral lifting points for ease of off-loading and placement on the foundation. This allows shelters to be installed on a variety of foundations to suit the particular site and application. Piers, concrete slabs, grade beams and steel frames are common, but others designs are possible. Although VFP provides suggested anchor locations and mounting details, the final foundation design is the responsibility of the site development engineer and must take into consideration the soil conditions, seismic requirements, support structure characteristics, and local building codes.
