DuraStor™ Tank Advantages
- The VSL DuraStor™ Tank system is a turnkey service offering design capabilities for a full range of water tanks.
- The system allows for substantial reduction of mild reinforcement, resulting in the reduction of first and lifecycle costs, simpler inspections and easier concrete placement.
- The VSL DuraStor™ Tank provides excellent crack control.
- Exceptional corrosion protection. First layer provided by three or four inches of two-way prestressed concrete cover. The prestressing prevents tension cracking in the circumferential direction and from reaching circumferential prestressing in the vertical direction. Second layer of protection provided by corrugated plastic ducts that contain the prestressing strands. Third layer is provided by the cement grout injected into the ducts after the post-tensioning strands.
- VSL DuraStor™ Tank allows for minimal joints.
- Increased speed of construction - tasks can be performed simultaneously and can be performed using conventional construction methods.
- Weather is not a factor during the construction of the VSL DuraStor™ Tank. Construction can take place regardless of weather.
- Little to no maintenance required.
- Increased security provided by thick concrete walls. This security is further increased if the tank is buried.
