Bigred Posted October 31, 2012 the whole idea is the construction side to it would be a great civil project i was thinking of putting 4 shipping containers underground and joining them with a network of tunnels and have solar up top even if the world does not end it would make a cool house i am a good builder but i am no egineer my friend is a miner but i think would make a cool project and to extend it just dig another hole and bury a container Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waterboy 2.0 Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) your containers will need reinforcing if going into the ground.... they are not designed for side loading EDIT - and whats the first rule of "Doomsday Club"? Edited October 31, 2012 by waterboy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whitewind Posted October 31, 2012 Good idea don't forget to put some chimneys in so you can get rid of the barbecue smoke. And hidden solar panels so you can convert one of the containers in to a grow room for your "veggies". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigred Posted November 1, 2012 in the mountains its a awesome spot im looking at buying a bull dozer and if you put in reinforcing and those under ground water tanks go up to 250000 thats a lot of space if you guys are serious i have heaps of land so even if we got a sab commune going would be cool but would love a bunker imagine using that a a pick up line "hey babe ever slept with a red head well how about you and me head in my BMW to my doomsday shelter" but it would make a great project and you would be welcome to stay there for as long as you like my mate is a mining eplosive expert so would love him just to leave a big creater where my land once was. but if you want to help or you have some good suggestions on the building of dooms day bunkers please post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) If your serious I may know a geotech that can put you on the right track for inground construction He recommends an excavator with at least one ripping tyne over a bulldozer (unless its to be an urban assualt vehicle after doomsday). Also wouldnt go too gung-ho with the hole makers until you know whats under the ground or you'll fracture the shit out it and have a hard job getting something sound to found onto, or have potential issues with water ingress.

in_spirit Posted November 1, 2012 Hey bigred i meant to ask where is it as in what area like biggenden, sunny coast etc mountains sound good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halcyon Daze Posted November 1, 2012 Central Australia ist the way to go for doomsday. Maybe go make friends with some of the Indigenous folk and you'll really have somewhere to escape the zombies and nuclear fallout, earthquakes and massive tsunamis. You can come back to your nice block in the mountains a few years later. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigred Posted November 1, 2012 lmfao i was test driving a excavator yesterday and was thinking the exact same thing i thought how am i going to run over zombies in this was thinking about a elevator for a urban assault vehicle but water boy your mate sounds promising can he recomend a good book there are heaps out there on the subject and the land is out past dalbly right next to the state forest there are a few pigs around and feral dogs around there as well but i was thinking in the side of the hill make a tunnel then reinforce it then have some light rail to move stuff in and out it would make a cool hotel im planing to grow a vineyard up there on the surfece Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted November 2, 2012 some things books just cannot give you bigred, but he can put you onto couple when he is not so busy to provide some basics and key areas to consider for in-ground construction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigred Posted November 2, 2012 thanks water boy something like idiots guide to bunker construction and im going to do this properly or not at all i would hate to get traped under ground. where would be the best place to get used shipping containers from i like the refrigeration ones also working on a bio digester that could utilize human waste and give methane and compost which could grow algae and then convert it to bio fuel. there is so much to work out but i think its going to be a great project and would be cool in summer as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
