OUR DESTINCTIVES
Advanced Shape Optimisation Analysis
Experience has shown that, for a given storage volume, savings of up to 5% of construction cost can be achieved through shape optimization alone. The effectiveness of shape optimisation requires that project specific site conditions, geometric constraints and local cost trends must be captured as input factors. Traditionally shape optimisation is seldom done and previous historic designs are simply reused without considering the cost efficiency of the design. Res Spec offers advanced shape optimisation as a standard value added service.
Reservoir Technical Speciality
Lifecycle Cost Orientated Design Approach
Our approach to design entails a high regard for asset lifecycle and long-term low maintenance cost. Specific attention is given, from the conceptual stage, to concrete durability, water tightness and low maintenance considerations.
Custom Reservoir Design Software
OUR EXPERIENCE
Tim Dubber has over 26 years general structural engineer experience and 13 years specialist experience in the field of post tensioned reservoir design. He has undertaken the design of numerous conventionally reinforced and post tensioned concrete reservoirs of up to 50Ml capacity. His experience includes the PT design of Vlakfontein 210Ml reservoir, which is believed to be the largest of it’s kind.
In addition, Tim has performed specialist design reviews of complex curved liquid retaining structures such as biodigesters and designed numerous reservoir dome roofs of up to 65m diameter.
