THE CHALLENGE
Restricted Space In The Plant Room
The client contacted our sales team to supply cold water storage tanks for Hoe Valley School and the adjoining leisure facilities. They required a total capacity of over 70,000 litres to meet the school’s cold-water storage needs.
TRICEL SOLUTION | Tank Installation School
Our team received the order on April 5th, with delivery and installation completed over three days in late April and early May. The supplied water tanks included:
- Sectional Tank Hot Press (4.50 x 4.00 x 3.00m) with 5m galvanized steel safety guardrail.
- Sectional Tank HLU TIF (3.00 x 2.00 x 2.00m) with 7 box section steels.
- Sectional Tank HLU TIF (2.00 x 1.50 x 2.00m) with 5 box section steels.
- One-piece GRP storage tank D5 CAT 5 break tanks.
- One-piece GRP storage tank M200 CAT 5 break tanks.
During the site visit with CMB Engineering, our team reviewed tank dimensions and floor space to ensure a smooth installation. However, after assessing the space, we found that the specified tanks couldn’t be installed due to plant restrictions.
We suggested alternative tank designs with revised dimensions and connections, which were more suitable for the available space. Additionally, we recommended Totally Internally Flanged Tanks (TIF), which better suited the site layout and offered cost savings. TIF tanks are ideal for restricted spaces, with panels fitted internally to maximize external space. The revised tank specifications and connections addressed capacity and demand issues.
THE FINAL RESULT | Tank Installation School
This is s great example of when half panels can be a perfect solution. Our manufacturing and site crews have utilised the space available to maximise the schools water storage capacity. Our sales, manufacturing, and logistics departments and site crews worked together alongside the college contractors to ensure that the project was completed within the time frame required. We completed the project in July 2021.
