A Swiss company is promising to construct reinforced, apocalypse-proof bunkers under the homes of “the most powerful people on the planet.”
The 1,000 square metre L’ Heritage reinforced subterranean bunkers, which Oppidum has exhibited, are said to be “optimised for super-luxury daily existence, yet equipped for any surface dangers.”
An “Oppidum,” the namesake subterranean bunker, may be totally isolated from the outside environment if necessary, such as in the event of a nuclear catastrophe or chemical weapons assault. It is absolutely airtight and gastight.
Homeowners may access a massive garage facility made for prestigious automobile collections by descending fifteen metres below earth after arriving by surface helicopter pad.
After entering through a decontamination chamber-equipped airlock, amenities include a private art museum, secure conference space, cosy sleeping suites, an indoor garden, a spa, and other commonplace recreational facilities.
Additionally, a vault is available for storing collections of priceless items including money, gold, and works of art.
It is possible to establish an armoury that meets NATO standards for ballistic and explosion protection by utilising high-density concrete made from the same mix as nuclear power plants.
Oppidum’s creator and CEO, Jakub Zamrazil, said: “We have a positive outlook on things. But not all occurrences are predictable or avoidable. Being equipped to endure the storm when required is a sensible move.
“In a world full of uncertainty, an Oppidum offers comfort.” It is a stronghold that helps our clients to hold onto and defend what is most important.
According to the business, “An Oppidum smoothly incorporates the highest levels of environmental and military security systems into a magnificent extension to an existing family estate.”
According to Oppidum, their bunkers are offered in the EU, UK, USA, and UAE.
Utilizing NASA technology, food storage facilities hold supplies of wholesome, long-lasting food that will endure for months or perhaps years. Essential medical supplies are kept in a safe location in the separate medical room.
An almost imperceptible hydraulically operated ramp is the only means of entry to the roomy subterranean garage, known as the Parc Fermé and protected by an interior security barrier.
The airlock serving as the primary entry to Oppidum is fully outfitted as a decontamination room. Two sets of specially designed Oppidum blast doors encircle it.
A multi-biometric reader that concurrently scans a person’s face, iris, palm, and fingerprints opens the exterior door.
A spectacular entry hall with fine-grained solid wood flooring may be reached via the inner blast door.
Despite being subterranean, the ceiling is about five metres high and is adorned with lavish hand-crafted glass chandeliers. Every piece of furniture is unique.
By pushing a single button, the opaque safety glass wall turns translucent, revealing the private art museum.
The gallery complies with insurance company requirements and is built to the same anti-intrusion standards as commercial bank vaults.
According to the firm, the collection is preserved via equipment for fire safety, ventilation, temperature management, and humidity control.
An indoor garden that mimics the outside is included in the bunker, and it is maintained by automated watering.
Via the skylight above, the sun rises, sets, and the seasons change through full-light spectrum simulation.
The resort also features a saltwater or freshwater pool and a complete selection of fitness equipment.
A group of technical rooms store the equipment that keeps the subterranean bunker environment functioning. The primary systems run independently and have backup circuits available.
Two separate air filtering systems are present in an Oppidum. The main unit is intended for regular usage during times of peace. The secondary system is a CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) system of military calibre.
The ability to breathe regularly and securely is provided by an internal circulation system and a high-pressure air reserve.
When there is inadequate or no fresh air entering the building, the air filtration unit’s CO2 removal system and backup oxygen supply offer breathing air.
A private well provides water from deep down, completely independent of the public supply.
The power system smoothly transitions to one of its several fail-safe alternate power sources, including twin diesel generators and back-up batteries, in the event of a power loss, blackout, or instability in the grid.
