Description
The Greenbush CSO storage tank is massive: a 4.2 million-gallon below-grade covered concrete storage tank roughly the size of an NFL football field. It is over 350-feet (110 m) long, 109-feet (35 m) wide and has walls that are 35’ (10 m) tall and 3’ (1 m) thick. The tank is designed to hold a run-off event equivalent to a 100-year rainfall for the Lafayette area.
Products Used
IMI project managers carefully planned the pour to allow the use of over 20 concrete mixers from two concrete plants to facilitate pours around the clock. This schedule enabled Bowen Engineering to reach their desired production rates – and keep to the tight construction schedule. Ultimately, close to 10,000 cubic yards (7,645 m3) of concrete for the water containment structures were treated with PENETRON ADMIX.
