Want to grab more high-dollar contracts? Investing in onsite North Carolina Storm Shelters provides a sly wink to prospective clients that your operating budget is well within ink-black margins, and your consortium has more than enough cash reserves to head off potential project setbacks and delays from unstable supply chains and shaky labor markets. A vested interest in protecting workers also tells potential clients that your work crew isn’t a walking liability and has its stuff together with intuitive organization while juggling the grueling demands of heavy construction and manufacturing. Fortune 500 companies, burdened by growing stockholder demands for higher fiscal year dividends while breaking ground on new satellite offices and headquarters hate setbacks. Currying their favor with a professional workforce, which is well-protected and tasked with handling large-scale projects, enables higher open contract bids to be more competitive than competitors working on a shoestring budget.
North Carolina’s proximity to a widening Tornado Alley is nearing, placing the Tar Heel state under enhanced risks for severe weather. North Carolina is one of the nation’s fastest-growing states, all but guaranteeing a new construction influx with seven-figure contracts at stake. While growing pains are to be expected concrete-heavy construction, most workforces remain woefully unprepared for chaotic weather and tornadoes, which primarily occur in the early afternoon as workers wind down for the evening. A North Carolina Storm Shelter is your jobsite’s safety harness and fall protection for hard-to-predict freakish weather. New employees and prospective manufacturing partners will also notice a shelter’s perceived omnipresence in sheltering guests and employees. Google and Facebook might have a gym and Starbucks, but a storm shelter is a fringe benefit all employees can discuss at the water cooler.
North Carolina Storm Shelters Turn Heads While Protecting Workers
North Carolina Storm Shelters are conspicuous, not only in sleek profile design but also in authoritative presence. Large orange, crane-hoisted tornado shelters demand attention on delivery day as curious onlookers ponder the latest tool-of-the-trade and safety engineering. Although many contractors are tempted to wow government boards accepting new bids for publicly-bonded projects with showy excavators and bulldozers, an aerodynamically-optimized tornado shelter is a flex they can’t ignore, less should they lose public support for opting against a company that values safety and results above all else – profit isn’t everything, but securing onsite tornado protection shows you mean business. Moreover, our shelters engender confidence and poise in workers and new clients waiting to get their projects off the ground. While US Hazmat Storage specializes in customized jobsite tornado shelters for every workflow, we don’t discriminate on size. Each in-house fabricated tornado shelter is manufactured for every demographic and population. We can safely accommodate small family-owned businesses and publicly traded manufacturers.
Can an Above Ground Tornado Shelter Survive an EF5 Tornado?
An adequately installed North Carolina Storm Shelter can withstand 250-mile-per-hour wind speeds and flying debris, protecting all workforces. Our engineers design shelters with long dimensional profiles and low clearance, allowing cross-shearing winds to bypass forceful rams in a simulated wind tunnel environment. Project safety managers should place storm shelters near corridor exits or separate and undisturbed corners on the jobsite, allowing for prompt employee sheltering.
Can a Tornado Rip a Shelter Off the Ground?
Tornados can’t lift, let alone rip, heavy tornado shelters off the ground. Inherently weighted tornado shelters remain firmly affixed to the Earth during powerful wind storms, including EF5 tornadoes. Optional concrete or metal bases and steel anchors add reassurance to uncertain and challenging meteorological times. We can deliver turnkey, rapidly deployable tornado shelters to your jobsite or facility before the horizon becomes darkened by emerging storm clouds.
