THE CHALLENGE
Precision and Efficiency at Heathrow
Our Team was entrusted with a critical project at Heathrow Airport, involving the manufacture and installation of three water storage tanks for Terminal 2.
The challenges faced in this project were multi-faceted. Firstly, the tanks had to meet specific size requirements, with varying dimensions for each tank. Secondly, they had to adhere to stringent quality and safety standards typical of an international airport like Heathrow. Lastly, the installation needed to be carried out with minimal disruption to airport operations, ensuring continuous access to water for both essential and non-essential uses.
TRICEL SOLUTION
Our team at devised a comprehensive solution to address the unique challenges presented by this project. The first step involved meticulous planning and engineering to manufacture tanks of the specified dimensions – a 4x2x2 meter tank for potable water storage, a 2x2x2 meter tank for harvested rainwater, and a large tank for softened water to support plant and equipment.
To meet the stringent quality and safety standards, we utilized our expertise in materials and construction techniques. We ensured that all tanks were constructed from high-quality materials that met the necessary industry regulations and safety requirements. Additionally, we implemented rigorous quality control processes throughout manufacturing.
To minimize disruption to airport operations, we coordinated closely with Heathrow authorities and scheduled the installation during off-peak hours. Our experienced installation team worked efficiently to replace the existing tanks with the new ones, ensuring a seamless transition.
THE FINAL RESULT
The 4x2x2 meter tank now ensures a reliable potable water supply for the entire building, meeting Heathrow’s strict water quality standards. The 2x2x2 meter tank for harvested rainwater contributes to sustainability efforts by providing non-potable water for various applications. Lastly, the large tank for softened water enhances the efficiency of plant and equipment operations.
