Cellar "Uralets": technical characteristics and installation features

If you are the happy owner of a country house, then you simply need the Uralets underground cellar. Since the entire crop from your summer cottage is unlikely to fit in one refrigerator. On the shelves, you can store cans of canned vegetables, compotes, jam, wine, as well as bags of crops, and not worry about the safety and quality of products.

It is certainly safer to build a deep cellar, since it is easy to maintain a cool temperature in it throughout the year. In addition, it can be located under the house or at a short distance from your home. However, this case provides for the need to carefully consider everything, since the proximity of the location of groundwater and the quality of the soil are very important when choosing a place for installing the tank.

But the dryness of the soil does not guarantee that the structure will not flood during heavy rainfall. Water can be a big nuisance when it gets to the walls of the cellar.

Thanks to modern technologies in the industry, the Uralets cellar was created. It is made of reinforced concrete and is used for long-term storage of food. It has a prefabricated monolithic look, is sealed and spacious. The concrete cellar rests on a steel frame. To drain excess water in the building, a technical well is provided.

Both the container itself and all its components are made of vintage reinforced concrete, frost-resistant, with the use of waterproof impurities. For this, concrete of the following grades is used:

• F200;
• M350;
• hydraulic engineering, resistant to temperature extremes.

All constituent elements of the structure comply with quality standards. The shelf life of this design is more than 100 years.

The entrance to the building is through the top. A wooden ladder is included as standard. It is quite comfortable and safe. Vertical ventilation elements are also included.

The series of cellars "Uralets" is a round structure with a capacity of 6 cubic meters and rectangular structures with a volume of 10 and 12 cubic meters. In addition to its functional purpose, namely: storage of products, the container can be used as a compartment with wells and water pipes.

All parts of the container are produced in factories in modern workshops using the latest equipment and technologies of the XXI century. The parts are poured in a monolithic way, then the composition is vibrated.

The thickness of the walls of the structure is from 10 centimeters, the volume is 12 thousand liters. The structure weighs 9 tons, its length is 3 meters, width - 1.8 meters, height - 2.7 meters.

The capacity of the cellar has exactly such a configuration, in which even people of different heights are comfortable inside. This can be judged by the many positive feedback from users about this design.

You can try to install the Uralets cellar with your own hands. However, if neither you nor any of your relatives have experience in performing such work, then it is better to turn to professionals.

• When choosing a place for a cellar, you must choose a dry, elevated place. You can place it under any building - a house, a garage, and so on.
• For gluing the seams, tile adhesive of categories M / 200, W / 4 is used. The manufacturer manufactures the hydraulic additives himself.
• The movement of vehicles over this structure is possible only after consultation with a specialist.

Ventilation can be of two types: standard, included in the kit, or drilled at the request of the client.

To install the cellar, it is necessary to dig a square pit with sides 0.5-1 meter larger than the installed capacity. It is necessary to fill the hole with the same soil that was dug when digging a foundation pit.

The structure should not slide off when backfilling, therefore it is imperative to provide that there is no water at the bottom of the pit. At a depth, the pit is covered with sand or fine screening. Next, the layer is compacted and checked with a level. It is imperative to observe safety precautions when working in the pit.

But it is also quite real and possible to install the structure directly into the water. In this case, it is imperative to ensure that the hooks and slings of the container are also covered with water. This is done due to the fact that the hinges that are used to mount the structure are located at the very bottom of the structure. To do this, use intermediate elements-links made of fabric.

In order to regulate the humidity in the cellar, it is necessary to ventilate the room. For this, there is ventilation in the design. It is imperative to monitor the correct operation of the ventilation. The air in the tank is renewed by means of two supply and exhaust pipes. But it is also possible to install a more complex ventilation system.

The main advantages of the Uralets cellar include some characteristics.

• The volume of products that can fit in a cellar is equal to the volume of 25 refrigerators.

• Since the construction uses monolithic parts and special adhesives, this ensures high tightness.
• High resistance to environmental factors, namely: corrosion, groundwater, and so on.
• The walls of the structure are made of environmentally friendly material.
• The cellar maintains an optimal temperature and humidity regime for storing food, including through properly thought out ventilation.
• During the tests, it was found that this structure can withstand seismic shocks up to 5.5 points.
• There is no need to make external waterproofing of the walls. Insulation becomes necessary in northern latitudes and consists in the fact that the top of the structure is covered with sheet polystyrene. In our latitudes, the depth and thickness of concrete of 100 mm is quite enough so that food does not freeze through.
• The design is fairly easy to install. If you have the necessary equipment and follow all the manufacturer's recommendations, then within 4 hours you will have a ready-made cellar. A little more time will have to be spent on internal finishing work.

• You can design a cellar in the winter season.
• The product warranty reaches 100 years, which looks very impressive.

If you study the reviews of people who have the Uralets cellar, you will notice that they all praise it for its reliability, strength, high quality of construction, despite its use in all types of soils and temperatures. The unconditional benefit when storing food in the cellar, as well as the warranty period, cover all the cash costs for the construction of this structure. The manufacturer indicates the price for the building from 100 thousand rubles.Which is the only drawback of the cellar.
