This is the main component of the water tank and is usually pre-made in the factory according to the designed size and specifications.
Structural composition
Precast concrete slabs: This is the main component of the water tank and is usually pre-made in the factory according to the designed size and specifications. These plates are made of reinforced concrete, which has high strength and durability. The surface of the plate is usually treated to ensure good sealing and waterproofing.
Connecting parts: Used to connect each precast concrete slab together to form a complete water tank structure. Common connection methods include bolt connections, mortise and tenon connections, etc. At the same time, sealing materials such as rubber water stops, sealants, etc. will be used to ensure the sealing of the connection and prevent water leakage.
Accessories: including water inlet and outlet, overflow port, maintenance port, liquid level gauge, etc. These accessories are configured according to the functional needs of the water tank to meet the normal use and maintenance requirements of the water tank.
How it works
The working principle of the prefabricated reinforced concrete water tank is mainly based on the sealing and strength of its structure. The water tank is precisely spliced and sealed by precast concrete slabs to form a closed space that can effectively store water. Because reinforced concrete has high compressive strength and permeability, the water tank can withstand the pressure of water without deformation and leakage, thus ensuring the safety of water storage.
Application scenarios
Civil buildings: such as residential communities, office buildings, schools, hospitals, etc., used to store domestic water, fire water, etc.
Industrial field: In some factories, mines and other places, it can be used as part of production water storage, circulating water cooling systems, as well as fire water tanks, etc.
Municipal engineering: used in the regulation pool in the urban water supply system, the clean water pool of the sewage treatment plant, etc., play an important role in regulating and storing the city's water supply and drainage system.
Construction process
Foundation construction: The foundation treatment of the installation site is carried out according to the size and weight of the water tank, which usually includes pouring a concrete foundation to ensure that the foundation is flat and bearing capacity meets the requirements.
Slab installation: transport the prefabricated concrete slabs to the construction site, and hoist and splice them according to the design requirements. During the splicing process, the position and perpendicularity of the plates must be strictly controlled to ensure tight connections.
Connection seal: Seal the connection between the plates, install sealing materials and connecting parts to ensure the overall sealing of the water tank.
Accessories installation: Install various accessories of the water tank, such as inlet and outlet water pipes, overflow pipes, liquid level gauges, etc., and perform corresponding pipeline connections and debugging.
Waterproof treatment: Waterproof treatment is carried out on the inner and outer surfaces of the water tank, such as applying waterproof coatings, to further improve the waterproof performance of the water tank.
Acceptance: After the installation and construction of the water tank is completed, a water injection test is carried out to check whether the water tank is leaking. At the same time, various performance indicators of the water tank are accepted to ensure that they meet the design and use requirements.
Advantage
High strength: Reinforced concrete material has high compressive strength and load-bearing capacity, can withstand large water pressure, and is suitable for water storage needs of all sizes.
Good durability: Concrete materials have strong corrosion resistance and aging resistance. Under normal use conditions, the service life of the prefabricated reinforced concrete water tank is relatively long, reaching more than 50 years.
Good sealing: special sealing materials and processes are used to ensure good sealing of the connections of various plates of the water tank, effectively preventing water leakage and ensuring the safety and stability of water storage.
Good fire resistance: Reinforced concrete is a non-combustible material and has good fire resistance. It can maintain the structure stability in emergency situations such as fires and reduce safety hazards.
Low maintenance cost: Compared with some metal water tanks, reinforced concrete water tanks are not prone to rust and do not require frequent anti-corrosion treatment. Daily maintenance work is relatively simple and maintenance cost is low.
