Shay Murtagh was engaged by our client Coffey Construction to design, manufacture and install a water reservoir to service the Mallow area. The internal diameter of the tank is 33.420m with a panel height of 3.635m. Once all panels were been placed high tension strands were pushed through conduits which are cast into the units during manufacturing. The 15.7mm strands were tensioned and internal sealing works completed.
The tank consists of 44no. 2.4m * 3.635m panels erected over 2 days, 43no columns, 38no top bands and 87no. roof slabs which are cover by an insitu concrete roof screed. Once operational the tank will contain over 1,800m3 of water. Works were completed by a team of 5 to 7 operatives.
