Bomb shelters for schools and communities

Hobbit House manufactures rapidly erected modular civil protection structures to DSTU 9195:2022 in compliance with DBN V.2.2-5:2023. The structures hold certificates of conformity to DSTU 9329:2025 "Primary (mobile) shelters" issued by the State Certification Centre of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine: No. DCS.0002391-26 (Fortetsia 2.25 and 3.5), No. DCS.0002371-26 (Fortetsia 4.0) and No. DCS.0002370-26 (Fortetsia 6.0), as well as certificate of conformity to DSTU 9195 and DBN V.2.2-5:2023 No. UA.CRT.00316-26 (Fortetsia 2.25). Strength and protection are confirmed by:

— structural calculations in LIRA CAD and a field test: 500 kPa for Fortetsia 2.25 and 3.5, 300 kPa for Hobbit 2.0; Fortetsia 4.0 and 6.0 are rated at 100 kPa;

— expert opinions of JSC "Kyiv Research and Design Institute Energoproekt", a company with a state shareholding managed by the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine. Energoproekt is the general designer of the Khmelnytskyi and Rivne nuclear power plants, of the radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel storage facilities of SE NNEGC Energoatom, and of most facilities in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Energoproekt carried out calculations and issued opinions on the radiation protection provided by the enclosing structures of the shelters made by Hobbit House LLC, determining their protection factor (Kz) under DBN V.2.2-5:2023.

In addition, Hobbit House LLC meets the requirements of DSTU ISO 14001:2015 "Environmental management systems. Requirements with guidance for use" and DSTU ISO 9001:2015 "Quality management systems. Requirements", and holds the corresponding certificates.

Hobbit House LLC regularly takes part in tenders on Prozorro, Ukraine's public procurement system, so we can show prospective customers how to use the platform for procurement.

For communities, we offer a wide range of structures:

1. Hobbit underground shelter. The most common structure for sheltering children in kindergartens, schoolchildren and students. Hobbit modules are also used for shelters in residential courtyards and cottage communities. Hobbit shelters can be installed fully or partially below ground. The main site requirements are a sufficiently low groundwater level, no underground utilities, no trees at the installation spot and enough room for heavy construction machinery. The modules can be assembled into the simplest shelters as well as rapidly erected civil protection structures, rapidly erected anti-radiation shelters, rapidly erected blast shelters, anti-radiation shelters (ARS) and other types. The modules are joined both lengthwise and widthwise.

2. Fortetsia above-ground fortified civil protection structure. The most common choice for crowded places: bus stops, areas near administrative buildings, or sites where an underground shelter cannot be installed because of high groundwater. Thanks to the high strength of its arched structure and its 300 mm walls, it is the strongest rapidly erected shelter made in Ukraine. Fortetsia comes in four sizes: 2.25, 3.5, 4.0 and 6.0 (the internal width of the modules in metres). Fortetsia 2.25 is more often used for smaller shelters (up to three modules). When more protected space is needed (schools, crowded places, shelters for vehicles and ambulances), modules with an internal width of 3.5 metres are more efficient. Above-ground Fortetsia shelters can also provide radiation protection, with a protection factor (Kz) of at least 400 under DBN V.2.2-5:2023. All the necessary documents are in place.

3. Bastion shelter — the ideal option for protecting large vehicles such as fire engines or expensive municipal machinery.
