Our pre-cast system helped save up to eight months on a reservoir construction programme in Katlehong, Gauteng.
The roof of the 30 mega-litre reservoir comprises more than 2 000 square metres of slabs, each up to 250 millimetres (mm) deep, supported by 16 columns and 18 beams, weighing a total of 12,3 tons and 7,5 tons, respectively.
On this project, we worked closely with civil engineering contractors, Civcon and QC4 Civils, as well as consulting engineer, TLS Engineers & Project Managers, to deliver the project on behalf of Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality.
One of the biggest advantages of our system is that it can be installed without the need to erect, dismantle and remove tons of supporting scaffolding, while the pre-cast system can be programmed concurrently with other activities and, therefore, does not restrict multiple activities on site.
