The design life of a concrete tank is 60 years, as
opposed to 25 years for a steel tank. Designed to
British Standards 8007 and 8110, the concrete
formwork system offers the advantages of easy
construction with efficient site programmes
The system consists of an inner and outer wall of
shuttering pans that build up in diameter and
height to create a mould. The reinforcing mesh
that is required is fixed between the shutter walls,
with the concrete being poured into the mould.
As and when applicable, the shutters are then
stripped away when the concrete has achieved the
correct strength.
Our formwork systems allow us to target a wide
range of tank sizes, in both diameter and height.
Using our in-house installation crews to build the
tanks, we can ensure a fast track approach to each
project, giving our clients benefits on contract
programmes.
Our design principals offer the choice of std 0.2mm design, to post tensioning using the
galglass Post Tensioning System (GPTS) which virtually guarantees a crack free structure.
With our own Civil Design Department, managed by a chartered civil engineer, we offer
solid advice on the civils approach. This often allows us to bring savings through design
development to a project, whilst ensuring product performance is maintained.
To compliment the wall formwork, we also design and construct structural tank bases and
concrete roofs, allowing our clients to place one order for all the work.
A full range of ancillary products including roofs, ladders, platform etc. are available for
