Structural Design of Reservoirs
The sizing of elevated reservoirs requires absolute precision. First, the designer must consider the total hydrostatic load. Furthermore, the self-weight of the concrete directly influences the foundation. Therefore, detailed calculations prevent pathologies such as tensile cracking.
Technical Standards and Safety
We strictly follow the NBR 6118:2014 In all our projects, we ensure the structure's durability against harsh sea air. For example, the wall thickness must comfortably withstand the water pressure. Consequently, the use of waterproofing additives becomes essential.
Armor Checklist for the Island
During the inspection at Novo Campeche, we checked the concrete cover of the reinforcement bars. It is essential to ensure that the steel does not undergo premature oxidation. Therefore, we meticulously positioned the spacers. Furthermore, verifying the anchorage prevents concrete spalling at critical pressure points.
Environmental Conditions of Novo Campeche
Projects near the coast face unique climatic challenges. However, our engineered solutions compensate for the region's high salinity. For example, we use high-performance concrete (HPC) to increase the structure's lifespan. In this way, we ensure that the reservoir remains intact even just a few meters from Campeche Beach.
Installations and Watertightness
Watertightness is the ultimate test of a successful construction project. Therefore, we apply slow load tests to monitor for potential leaks. Additionally, the joint system must use high-quality hydro-expansive tapes. Thus, every construction detail minimizes operational risks for the building.
Excellence in Engineering
Ensuring the structural safety of a reservoir is an investment in the longevity of the asset. However, the technical complexity demands specialized professionals. Ultimately, having qualified technical consulting makes all the difference in the project's execution. WGB Arquitetura e Engenharia combines technique and precision to transform your project.
