The main Walloon gas and electricity grid operator has expanded its site in Strépy-Bracquegnies with the construction of an imposing building that required a number of underground installations for stormwater management. For this purpose, two products from Deschacht were installed: a pump chamber and a Tubao stormwater basin. The Deschacht engineering office took on this challenge!
The Tubao storm basin wins over concrete
To store the rainwater, a stormwater basin of more than 80 m³ was installed in record time. Although it was initially planned to build it in concrete, it was ultimately constructed in galvanized steel under the Tubao brand name. This product, which is technically very sound, is also highly cost-effective and efficient in terms of execution time, thereby offering an indisputable advantage!
An exceptional pumping station in HDPE
In front of the building, which is located 5 meters below the sewer system, a pumping station had to be installed to restore the level and drain the water. The company Puyvelde Laurent bvba subsequently placed an order for the construction of a custom-made HDPE tank for two pumps with a flow rate of 60 liters/second. This construction, designed and built by Collinet Product, complies with all the specifications of the tender specifications drawn up by the engineering firm BAEV and guarantees 100 % watertightness.
