Similar to a building or bridge, a DuraStor™ tendon-prestressed concrete tank requires no proprietary reinforcement systems; construction methods; construction, post-tensioning or grouting equipment; etc.
The construction sequencing of a post-tensioned concrete tank allows for multiple tasks to be accomplished simultaneously. For example, wall construction proceeds in parallel with column and roof shoring placement. The resulting construction schedule is highly efficient in comparison to other methods of tank construction.
Construction can proceed in freezing temperature conditions as the concrete members are protected from the elements with insulating blankets and heat is applied to the curing concrete as required.
