Additional explanation
Foundation
CONCRETE / Analysis on existing concrete foundations
POINT 1
Material: Plain concrete + steel liner (steel plate)
Unstable element related to durability (strength)
Excessive defects in horizontality and flatness of the foundation
Exposed to risk of defects due to rust generated on steel plates
For expensive large-scale water tanks, load burdens on the roof layer (top of slab) increase because of the concrete foundation
POINT 2
Construction method: Mold -〉 Place concrete -> Cure -> Plaster mortar -〉Cure
Long construction period for the concrete foundation: over 300 days / 500 tons
Number of elements may cause increase of quality defects if a fast construction process is demanded
Dry technique not economical due to excessive construction costs
RESERVOIR / Concerns on foundation of water tank
POINT 1
RESERVOIR / Concerns on foundation of water tank
- Systematized foundation that can finely adjust horizontality with the feature to maintain the best horizontality and flatness
Rust generated on the iron piece used due to poor horizontality of the concrete foundation
- Thanks to the horizontal adjustment feature, use of iron pieces is not needed and anti-corrosive materials are used
More than 30 days of construction period consumed due to the urgent schedule (over 500 tons)
- Possible to establish even the foundation of a 1,000-ton water tank in just 1 day
Excessive construction costs compared to the dry technique
- Possible to save more than 30% of average construction costs compared to the concrete foundation
Increase in load burdens on the roof layer due to the foundation of the water tank
- Use of dry technique expected to reduce weight and construction costs
