Project Overview
With safety, quality, and service at the forefront of every stage, our scope of work encompassed the design and construction of one in-situ poured reinforced concrete Primary Settlement Tank, featuring a sloping base engineered to withstand 1.5 metres of groundwater uplift. In addition, we delivered a glass-coated, bolted steel storm tank, complete with base and benching, ensuring robust and durable solutions. This project was delivered in partnership with a major Tier 1 water utilities contractor, further strengthening our commitment to industry-leading standards.
Early and proactive collaboration with the client and the Tier 1 contractor enabled us to optimise the project brief—addressing challenges such as the high-water table—and enhance the overall value by leveraging our technical expertise. All aspects of design, engineering, and installation were undertaken in-house, guaranteeing the highest quality of service and upholding stringent safety and quality standards throughout the on-site construction phase.
Consult & Design Phase
Optimise the scope of work on-site in collaboration with the client. Engage closely with the client’s design team to discuss budgets and timelines, ensuring the project is completed punctually, within budget, and without defects.
Provide consultation on ground loading requirements.
Evaluation: Assess the client’s requirements and constraints.
Concept Development: Create initial design concepts.
Feedback Incorporation: Integrate client feedback to optimise functionality and cost-effectiveness.
Construction
1 No Open Topped 12m Diam 5.8m High Glass Coated Steel tank in accordance to Storm Tank SWI. Including concrete benching.
1 No 15m Diameter x 4.56m High reinforced concrete in-situ poured. Primary Settlement Tank
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge: The client encountered ground water issues during the project excavation phase.
Solution: To mitigate the ground water issues we redesigned and phased the construction to the centre sump and base. which we did quickly to ensure no project delays occurred. (split cone in to 2 pours)
Challenge: The client had a very specific document control software system that Tank Consult had not used before.
Solution: Ensuring seamless integration of the new platform with existing systems and workflows posed a technical challenge. The initial phases of the project might have experienced delays as the team adjusted to the unfamiliar platform. Additional resources, such as time and personnel, were needed to manage the transition and ensure effective use of the platform. Extra measures were necessary to maintain the high standards of design and execution while using the new system.
