The civil defence shelter is used to protect the population in times of danger, especially during war or emergencies. It is a shelter built in a tunnel or tunnel in the rock, which uses the natural strength of the rock.

The main purposes and functions of a tunnel shelter are:

Protection from bombing and pressure waves - the solid rock provides good blast dampening

Protection from radiation in a nuclear explosion

Protection against chemical and biological agents (the enclosure is usually equipped with air filtration)

Shelter for civilian population or important institutions

Short-term survival - shelters have water supplies, electricity, ventilation, sometimes even sanitary facilities

Advantages of shaft shelters:

High durability due to location in the rock

lower costs than building above-ground concrete shelters

good temperature stability
