The Muleby System TankAlso known as the Muleby System Tank (MST), Aquadam’s range of Post-tensioned Panel Reservoirs is a highly efficient solution for the quick and cost-effective construction of pre-cast, post-tensioned circular concrete panel reservoirs. Many ApplicationsThese tanks can be used in any number of applications, such as sedimentation tanks, digestion tanks, aeration tanks, storm water retention basins, elevated reservoirs, clarifiers, filtration tanks, sprinkler tanks, fire fighting tanks, flammable and/or environmentally dangerous liquids safety tanks, loose storage tanks (salt, sand, chipping, etc), agricultural application tanks and rain water harvesting tanks. The Post-tensioned Panel Reservoir is available in volumes that range from 174m3 (174,000lt) to 5,715m3 (5,715,000lt). Custom-DesignedEach system is custom-designed and manufactured according to specific requirements. Standard pre-cast concrete panels are factory-manufactured to ensure exceptional quality, and are assembled on-site on a cast-in situ bottom slab. Individual panels are 1 575mm wide, between 130mm and 160mm thick, and vary in height from 3 to 7 meters. The number of panels used in a single reservoir construction can range from 15 to 66 panels, which means the system offers outstanding versatility. The vertical joints between the pre-cast panels consist of a waterproofing mortar, and once the panels and joints have been assembled the entire system is post-tensioned using horizontal circumferential mono strands. Together, this ensures that the system is perfectly watertight and exceptionally durable. Manholes, pipes, anchorages etc. are cast into the concrete panels during the manufacturing process as required, and the concrete panel tank system can be closed with a pre-cast or cast-in situ concrete roof. Because the panels are longitudinally pre-stressed, the concrete reservoir is stressed both vertically and circumferentially, resulting in a structurally sound and stable system. Easy InstallationInstallation of these prefabricated concrete panel tanks is quick and can take place in almost all weather conditions. In addition, the mechanised, low labour-intensive installation procedure makes for a safer working environment. The Aquadam Post-tensioned Panel Reservoir is designed to exacting standards and meets the highest European standard of water tightness, Eurocode 2, part 3 Liquid retaining and containment structures. |
