What Sets Red Dog Shelters Apart From Other Mobile Storm Shelters

Thursday, August 29, 2024

As advocates for quality, functionality, and innovation, our team at Red Dog Shelters is passionate about providing the best solutions for those in need of a storm shelter. Throughout this blog, we’ll explore the unique features and advantages that set Red Dog Shelters apart from other options on the market. If you’re seeking a reliable solution for your worksites, we’re here to showcase why our shelters are the superior choice.

Using Bernoulli’s Principle to Your Advantage

At Red Dog Shelters, we revolutionize the concept of storm shelters by integrating Bernoulli’s Principle into our commercial designs. This principle states that an increase in a fluid’s speed coincides with a decrease in pressure. Unlike traditional shelters that rely solely on heavy materials for stability, our portable storm shelters harness the power of airflow to enhance safety and comfort. By strategically placing vents and utilizing Bernoulli’s Principle, we create a dynamic airflow system that effectively reduces internal pressure during storms or high winds. This approach enhances structural integrity and minimizes the risk of collapse or discomfort for your workers.​

Superior Safety Standards

Red Dog Shelters guarantees excellent safety standards, setting a remarkable benchmark with our innovative design. Crafted with aerodynamic precision, our shelter’s curved roof enhances structural integrity and minimizes wind resistance. This unique construction provides the shelters with unparalleled resilience. For example, they can withstand the ferocity of an E5 tornado.

In rigorous blast tests — conducted under the most extreme conditions — our mobile tornado shelters have showcased our superior safety standards and unwavering commitment to protecting the lives of your workers.

Strength and Durability

Our shelters are engineered to withstand nature’s most formidable forces, highlighting their distinct durability. Our innovative design incorporates a Faraday Cage structure, making it impervious to lightning strikes and ensuring the safety of occupants within. Additionally, with roofs capable of supporting staggering 1 million-pound dead loads, these shelters provide unparalleled strength and resilience, even in the most extreme conditions.

Constructed with one-half inch A36 steel walls, our structures offer robust protection against impacts and external pressures, further fortifying their structural integrity. Whether your worksites are facing the fury of natural disasters or the rigors of industrial environments, Red Dog’s shelters provide peace of mind and security to their occupants.

Red Dog Shelters has earned the unwavering trust of numerous corporations, cementing its reputation as a reliable choice for portable storm shelters. With a client roster including industry giants like Shell, Chevron, BP, and ConocoPhillips, Red Dog’s proven track record speaks volumes about its quality and effectiveness.

Moreover, our commitment to excellence is highlighted by the fact that our shelters are not only compliant, but also undergo rigorous testing by the Texas Tech Wind Science and Engineering Research Center.
