The factory had the task of building a bomb shelter on its territory. The task was unusual: to place it in a small area, to integrate one of the entrances into the basement of the factory administration building, to create enough places for workers, and also to fit it within the limits of the regulations. The result was this place: a partly built-in, partly freestanding shelter. However, after some time it rotted away.
The entrance begins with stairs built inside the stylobate of one of the factory's buildings.
The stairs lead downward, following the contour of the basement.
As you can see, the waterproofing is very poor as well as the maintenance of the shelter.
The elevator from the basement level.
The elevator is driven from underground.
A long tunnel leads to two pairs of hermetic doors.
And here we are in the A block.
A little bit about the shelter. I found documents with project documentation, so I managed to find out more details and digitize the drawings. One of them I will give in the post. The shelter consists of three blocks. In peacetime, the vacant space is to be used as a warehouse. Characteristics of the shelter:
Design: A-II-1200-361.87
Protection class: A-II
Length*width: 138*18 m
Number of exits: 9 in the project, 5 implemented, 1 of them is an emergency exit
Capacity: 3,600 people
Area per person taken into the shelter: 0.4 m2
Power supply: DGMA-100M2-3, capacity 100 kW
The blueprint:
There are no bunk beds in the halls of the shelter, not even a trace of them. The halls are completely empty except for wooden posts. Probably the construction has frozen at the very last stage.
From the A block, we go to the B block, looking into the rooms. Here are water pumps, for example.
The ventilation control panel and the ventilation unit itself.
Air regeneration unit.
Artesian well.
Toilets.
Chief's office.
Block B.
The block is interesting with its emergency exit and the tunnel to the second entrance, identical to the first one.
Emergency exit.
The thirty-meter tunnel leads to an emergency exit, which is disguised as a "shack" and located outside the debris zone.
The second exit to the factory basement is identical to the previous one.
A click and the light on the stairs comes on. But after 30 seconds there is a crackling sound: the light bulbs exploded one after the other. The water squeezed into them after several years.
Block B also contains a cafeteria or something like that.
A control panel. Behind it are a couple of cabinets, which are located where Exit 4 should be, according to the blueprint.
The cabinets are full of different stuff.
An angle in the direction of block B. The passageway connects the blocks with each other. If it was a standard project, there was supposed to be a car entrance with a "waffle" hermetic door.
You can even see the places for the door hinges.
The hall of block C. The exits from here lead to the plant.
Another artesian well.
Filter-ventilation unit.
A very rusty air regeneration unit.
Water tanks.
Electricity control room.
And finally moving on to the generator.
A rusty generator.
Until we meet again!
