Semi-buried reservoir

A 1,500 m³ reinforced concrete reservoir designed to secure the drinking water supply of a group of municipalities.

Tipaza · 2023

The structure sits on heterogeneous soil, which required revising the foundation design after the geotechnical survey. The raft foundation was split into two sections separated by a watertight joint to absorb differential settlement.

Interior waterproofing was applied with a water-repellent coating and verified through a progressive seven-day water test, with daily level readings and inspection of the wall surfaces.

Delivery took place in line with the contractual programme agreed with the client.
