The Challenge –grp sectional tank installation
The construction of 20 Fenchurch Street, famously known as the ‘Walkie Talkie’ building, introduced several engineering challenges. Its top-heavy structure and 160-meter height required an efficient and reliable water storage system. To meet these demands, the solution needed to integrate seamlessly with the building’s unique design while ensuring a consistent filtered water supply.
Tricel’s Comprehensive Solution
Addressing these challenges required a turnkey approach. Our team managed the entire process, including supply, delivery, offloading, positioning, and installation. The project involved four GRP hot press sectional water tanks, along with levelling steels, intricate connections, ladders, and guardrails. Through careful planning and execution, the tanks were securely installed without compromising the building’s architectural integrity.
Beyond installation, efficiency and reliability remained our priorities. By collaborating closely with project managers, we ensured that the filtered water supply tank system met the highest safety and performance standards.
The Final Result – A Reliable grp sectional tank installation for a Landmark Building
The successful installation included four tanks with varying capacities:
- 162,000 litres
- 126,000 litres
- 8,000 litres
- 6,000 litres
This GRP sectional tank installation provided a dependable filtered water supply throughout the skyscraper, effectively meeting its diverse water storage needs.
By leveraging our expertise, Tricel played a key role in enhancing the Walkie Talkie building’s infrastructure. The result? A high-quality, long-lasting filtered water supply tank system that supports the functionality of this iconic London landmark.
