At TCO TC IRIS in Opglabbeek, an important challenge was planned: buffering underground rainwater and process water. After a thorough evaluation of the options between traditional
concrete manholes and a Tubao tank, the Tubao solution was chosen. In this project, Deschacht played a crucial role as a specialized partner in sustainable water infrastructure. As the exclusive distributor of Tubao tanks in Belgium, Deschacht possesses in-depth product knowledge. Thanks to the combination of technical expertise and practical guidance, not only was a well-considered and future-proof product choice made, but an efficient and smoothly executable realization was also guaranteed. The choice of a Tubao tank offered several clear advantages:
- Lower risk of subsidence: concrete manholes require a lot of earthworks and a precise foundation, which increases the risk of subsidence.
- Faster and more efficient installation: instead of digging, placing, and connecting multiple manholes, the Tubao tank can be installed all at once.
- Modular and maintenance-friendly system: the steel tubes are durable, robust and versatile in use.
- Large storage capacity (125,000 l): ideal for professional water management and future expansions
- Sustainable and modular system: long lifespan and technical customisation possible
- Efficient site installation: minimal disruption thanks to the prefabricated concept
The tank was supplied by TUBAO and expertly installed by Grondwerken Clijsters bv from Bree. The project is an excellent example of how a well-considered choice of technology and cooperation can lead to safe, future-proof, and cost-efficient water storage. With this installation, TCO TC IRIS has a reliable buffer for large-scale water storage, ready to tackle both current and future water management challenges.
