Slurry Towers
3b construction can offer 'Cast-In-Situ' reinforced concrete slurry towers.
- Designed to BS 8110, BS 8007 and BS 5502 part 50.
- Grade C40 concrete to base and walls.
- 300mm thick reinforced concrete walls.
- Hydrophilic water bar to all construction joints.
- Galvanised steel access ladder and platform.
- Bauer twin valve tanker connection.
- Other items such as reception pits, slurry pumps, jetter kits etc. can be provided as required.
Advantages of reinforced concrete slurry towers:-
- Design life of 60 years compared with 30 years for steel towers.
- Tank can be backfilled therefore allowing slurry to be easily stirred from the top.
- Small impact loads will not affect reinforced concrete tanks in the same way as the glass coating is affected with steel tanks.
- Large capacity tanks can be constructed at very competitive prices.
- Cast-In-Situ Reinforced concrete slurry towers do not rely on steel wires maintaining their tension over a long period of time.
- Cover to reinforcing is considerably more than with pre cast concrete slurry towers.
- Cast-In-Situ tanks are round and not made up using lots of straight pieces as with pre cast concrete tanks therefore slurry is easier managed.
- Many fewer joints with Cast-In-Situ tanks and no reliance on adjacent concrete panels being accurately aligned in order to achieve a water tight structure (fresh concrete poured against previously poured concrete).
- Concrete roofs can be provided if required.
- Short construction periods from a prepared base.
