While we continue to play a large part in helping municipalities significantly accelerate the delivery of critical water-distribution infrastructure, this latest project was completed for a world-class brewery in Gauteng.
Moreover, the hollow-core slabs that make up the roof structure are directly supported by the reservoir’s cast in-situ concrete walls, as opposed to precast concrete columns and beams that form part of the company’s conventional tried-and-tested system.
This is considering that the 5 Ml structure is divided by an internal in-situ wall to create two separate fluid-retaining compartments inside the reservoir, and it also assists in supporting the more than 50 pre-stressed hollow-core slabs of between 70 MPa and 80 MPa that span the top of the structure.
The two centre concrete “planks” are more than 16 m-long. They weigh eight tonnes each, and are among some of the largest precast concrete hollow-core slabs that have been manufactured, as well as safely and efficiently handled by the company for its many projects.
