Corrugated steel retention tank solution collects and diverts excess rainwater in Leszno, western Poland
The Challenge
The accumulation of rainwater caused problems at Szybowników street in Leszno, Poland along national road 12. Excess water needed to be collected to keep the surface area free and operable and redirected to a nearby ditch.
The Solution
To solve the problem, a corrugated steel retention tank was constructed and incorporated in the existing storm water system. The tank itself is located in a car-free green zone.
The ViaCon solution was created using four HelCor pipes with a 2,500 mm diameter and a 244.8 m length. The individual pipes were connected to each other using 1,200 mm stubs. The total capacity of the tank is 1,200m3. To protect the tank against vertical movement from the hydrostatic pressure of the groundwater, 72 anchor pieces were attached to the tank.
The ViaCon Advantage
The water tank solution offers a number of benefits:
