Complete shelters for house and garden and a modular building system that can be extended step by step. For private owners as well as municipalities, industry and critical infrastructure.
XpandShelter was founded with a clear mission: shelters that grow with you. Our modular building system makes shelters possible in any size and configuration – for two people today, for twenty tomorrow.
A family protects four people in the garden, a critical-infrastructure operator its control room, a municipality several hundred residents. The module grid stays the same — what differs is quantity, fit-out and the approval route.
SafeGarden stands above ground in the garden. SafeOffice adds bathroom and kitchen, above or below ground. Both arrive fully fitted out from the plant.
Protected space for staff and technology, above all for critical-infrastructure operators. SafeCore is individually designed and keeps operations running in a crisis.
Reactivating existing stock, dual-use in new builds, tender support. With SafeUnit, public shelter capacity grows in construction phases.
SafeGarden and SafeOffice are complete shelters: fully fitted out in the plant, delivered and set in place. SafeUnit and SafeCore are our modular solutions for companies, critical-infrastructure operators and public authorities.
SafeGarden is the base model for your own property: produced and fitted out entirely in the plant, delivered as a closed unit and set up above ground in the garden as a garden house with timber cladding.
SafeOffice is the premium version: a self-sufficient shelter, workspace and living area with bathroom and kitchen, fully fitted out in the plant and delivered turnkey.
SafeCore is the shelter for staff and technology at critical sites: compact, self-sufficient and integrated into operations — for critical-infrastructure operators, control rooms and companies.
SafeUnit is our modular system: the modules are produced in the plant and joined on site through certified coupling points, creating very large shelters in stages.
Finished shelters arrive ready to install. SafeUnit and SafeCore are joined into larger installations through certified coupling points.
Safety takes more than a substantial structure. It takes practical experience, technical knowledge and ongoing development. We bring all three to each shelter project.
For over ten years, we have developed and manufactured reinforced concrete pavilions with increased security requirements. More than 1,000 completed projects underpin our work in shelter construction today.
Lessons from completed projects and explosive tests inform the development of our structures. We combine established reinforced concrete construction with current protection concepts and project-specific equipment.
Our reinforced concrete construction with a wall thickness of 180 mm has been examined in practical explosive tests. In one test, a charge was attached directly to the concrete surface. The tested concrete body showed only minor visible surface marks after the explosion.
We also consider potential threats from unmanned aircraft when developing our shelters. Based on previous test experience, we expect a high level of resistance to certain drone-borne explosive loads.
This observation applies to the tested concrete body and that specific test setup. It is not a general protection guarantee. The assessment of drone-borne loads is an assumption, not verified evidence of protection.
SafeGarden and SafeOffice are prefabricated systems for private properties. SafeCore and SafeUnit are modular, with dimensions planned individually for businesses and municipalities respectively. Space, capacity and equipment depend on the project.
Ventilation, power supply, sanitation and interior fit-out are planned to suit the intended use and your individual requirements.
We support your project from the first consultation through technical planning and factory production to transport and installation.
The intended use, site and technical requirements are considered together. This gives production, equipment planning and on-site installation a clear basis.
Eight components decide whether a shelter holds when it matters — from the concrete shell to the filter unit.
Structural concrete with double reinforcement, batch testing in the plant.
Overpressure ventilation with activated-carbon and particulate filters.
Tested steel blast door plus a second escape route.
Emergency power, drinking water and storage for several days of operation.
Earth-contact surfaces with sealing membrane and joint tapes.
Insulation and dehumidification keep the room usable all year.
Prepared conduits for antenna, network and emergency call.
Prepared coupling points — further modules can be added later.
Six steps, one point of contact: planning, plant production and installation all come from us.
Needs analysis, site survey, structural design, permits.
Reinforcement, formwork, casting in the plant — with batch testing.
Ventilation, blast door, emergency power, sanitary, sleeping modules.
Heavy-load trailer, mobile crane, escort vehicle.
Excavation, foundation, placement — typically within one day.
Inspection, filter system function test, briefing.
Briefly describe your project. You will receive a first assessment of site, module size and permit situation.
We review site, requirement and permit situation. Every project is treated confidentially — without naming references, if you prefer.
The questions that come up in almost every first conversation — answered briefly and without marketing.
SafeCore and SafeUnit are modular systems: modules can be combined to suit the site and planned occupancy. SafeUnit can connect up to 15 modules, with expansion in stages. SafeGarden and SafeOffice are finished units, not modular systems for later extension.
