Modular Vault
Systems
Description:
NELCO’s Modular Vault System is an ideal solution for facilities
requiring a permanent or temporary shielded vault, or on leased properties
where terms require the space to be returned in original condition. It is
also a solution for facilities where time constraints do not allow for
normal construction. Because of it's modular construction, this vault can
easily be assembled wherever it is needed and disassembled for removal. The
vault meets all structural, seismic, and shielding regulatory requirements.
The normal system consists of wall and ceiling pre-cast units,
supplemental shielding if required, a swing or slide door unit, and assembly
by trained NELCO personnel. Optional products and services include full
architectural and M.E.P., structural, physics, site work, foundation,
interior finish, and mechanical and electrical systems.
