threat mitigation
Life and Asset Preservation Infrastructure
The Patmos Underground Bunker Facility in Northern Indiana is specifically designed to provide an unparalleled level of protection and self-sufficiency during catastrophic events. Below, we explore the critical systems and infrastructure to mitigate probable threats that make Patmos a vital investment for individuals seeking to secure their futures.
EMP Shielding
The facility is sheathed in copper for EMP shielding, providing robust protection against electromagnetic pulse events that could otherwise cripple electronic systems and critical infrastructure. This advanced shielding ensures that electrical and communication systems within the bunker remain operational, even in the event of an EMP attack or geomagnetic storm.
Blast/Ballistic Doors
To secure the facility against external threats, Patmos is equipped with blast-resistant and ballistic-rated doors. These doors are designed to protect against forced entry, armed attacks, and the pressure waves generated by explosions, making the facility resistant to violent attempts at penetration or sabotage. This level of security is critical for withstanding the immediate dangers posed by civil unrest and marauding groups.
An emergency exit, located adjacent to the ground-floor bedrooms, is secured by a positive pressure blast and ballistic door. This exit leads up a stairwell to the surface, providing a safe and secure route for exfiltration if conditions or circumstances necessitate evacuation. The positive pressure system ensures that no contaminants can enter the facility during such an event, maintaining the integrity of the internal environment.

Fallout Shelter Capabilities
In the event of a nuclear strike, the Patmos Facility provides full fallout shelter capabilities, ensuring protection from radiation and allowing inhabitants to remain safely sealed off from contaminated environments. Radiation shielding, air filtration, and self-contained living quarters provide critical protection from both short- and long-term radiation exposure following a nuclear detonation.
CBRN Protection
Swiss Andair VA300 Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Positive Pressure Air Filtration System
The VA300 Positive Pressure Air Filtration System is an advanced filtration system designed and manufactured in Swizerland and used in the most secure bunkers / shelters in the world. The VA300 system protects against Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) threats. The system maintains positive air pressure within the facility, preventing contaminants from entering and ensuring that occupants can breathe safely in the event of nuclear fallout, biological attack, chemical warfare or sabotage by attackers. This state-of-the-art technology guarantees continuous, safe air circulation for the duration of any external threat.

Grid-Down Alternative Energy and Climate Control
The facility is fully grid-down ready and powered by a Capstone C65 LPG Turbine Generator, which provides 65 kilowatts of continuous electricity. The turbine spools up and down based upon demand, thereby saving fuel. The C65 turbine generator operates independently with no connection to grid power or transfer switches, offering robust protection against EMP events. This ensures that all critical systems remain fully functional even during extreme grid-down scenarios.
The Capstone C65 comes factory-equipped with a Heat Recovery Module (HRM), propane conversion kit, gas heating module, fresh batteries, and a vaporizer. At full load, the C65 generates 144,000 BTU/hr of heat in addition to electricity. The HRM is connected to a closed water-glycol loop, which circulates via a primary circulation pump, with a redundant pump installed for backup. This hot water loop (190°F) can be used to heat the facility or produce hot water for the kitchen and laundry. Currently, the hot water is directed to a heat exchanger installed in the main HVAC ductwork, where it heats the air as required. A future heat exchanger could be added to produce hot water for domestic use.
Two geothermal units (one serving as a redundant backup) provide heating and cooling for the facility. When the C65 is operational, the geothermal units serve as a secondary heat source, with the thermostat automatically adjusting the load based on the heat provided by the turbine. There are opportunities for further integration with the C65. Waste heat could be utilized by an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system to generate additional electricity or by an absorption chiller for refrigeration and cooling. These Combined Heat and Power (CHP) applications are ideal for bunker or dormitory-style facilities and to provide year-round heated greenhouses. The Survival Retreat Consulting Advanced Food Production report available during a Buyers’ due diligence period, detail the ORC system powering LED grow lights, water pumps, filtration and heat for year round hydro/aquaponics systems and greenhouses.
The micro-turbine can also integrate seamlessly with solar and wind power systems. Operating in Island Mode, these systems feed the facility and recharge the batteries when active. When solar or wind generation is insufficient, the micro-turbine automatically ramps up to meet the remaining demand. While solar, wind, and batteries produce DC power, inverters convert this to AC current, which is also produced by the micro-turbines.
The generator is supplied by a 30,000-gallon on-site propane tank, currently with 18,000 gallons, allowing it to run one year with continuois operations. The Capstone C65 can run for up to 20 years at 12 hours per day or 10 years at 24 hours per day before major maintenance is required. The use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) ensures a stable, long-term fuel supply without relying on external resources.
Additionally, a commercial-grade lithium battery system can be installed to provide continuous power, reducing the need for constant generator use. Both the battery system and the C65 turbine generator would be housed in the same concrete structure, further dampening the turbine's minimal 70 dBA sound signature. This setup ensures operational discretion and security during high-stress scenarios, while providing long-term power and energy security.
