We Install And Sell 3 Types Of Tornado Shelters in Tahlequah
Coal Tar Epoxy is a heavy duty, high build protective coating which has high durability, is resistant to most corrosive reagents, and is excellent at sealing out moisture. It’s commonly used in industrial and marine environments. It is primarily applied to steel to protect it from corrosion and rust. It is frequently seen on steel boat hulls, underground water and oil tanks and pipelines, offshore oil rigs, and dam gates. Our Coal Tar Epoxy underground tornado shelter is made of 10 gauge sheet metal. All welds are leak-tested to ensure they will not allow ground water to seep into the shelter. After the shelter is fabricated, we apply a thick coating of Coal Tar Epoxy into the exterior of the shelter. The Coal Tar Epoxy bonds to the steel and serves to protect the outside of the steel shield from rust and corrosion. The inside of the storm shield is painted with red oxide primer paint to protect the steel on the inside from corrosion and rust.

While the steel is in the pot, the iron in the steel metallurgically reacts with the molten zinc to form a tightly-bonded metal coating that provides superior corrosion protection to steel. Using zinc to protect steel from corrosion (hot-dip galvanizing) is a 150-year-old practice! Our Galvanized FlatSafe tornado shelter is made of 10 gauge sheet metal. All welds are leak-tested to guarantee they will not allow ground water to seep into the shelter.
