- WT Burden supplied StormTech SC740 stormwater soakaway chambers for the Education City R&D Centre in Qatar.
- The drainage specification called for 575m3 of stormwater attenuation to be provided.
- StormTech was selected by the contractor as the best product to meet the needs of the project.
- StormTech’s unique design features meant it was able to satisfy these requirements and provide the assurances necessary under the engineers and contractors PI for the scheme
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
- The chambers were tested for high temperature ground conditions.
- The chambers were approved by ASTAD
- Key considerations for the engineer were to provide a fully trafficable system with a design life in excess of 50 years, which met the dead and live loading standards outlined in current best-practice codes
- The tank must be maintainable to ensure that the tank volume does not reduce over time as a result of silt build-up
DESIGN STANDARDS
- Materials used had to comply with the relevant local construction standards.
