CTR 3010 PANEL
An adjustable metal formwork for curved applications

EGDC is currently building a 13.50m high tank for water storage at Aytré (17) near La Rochelle, using the CTR 3010 formwork by SATECO.

BUILDING SITE DESCRIPTION

• The curved formwork is made up of 3 parts consisting of a 1.50m lower extension and 4 standard 3m panels, overall height 13.50m.
• This tool is manufactured from Standard Sateco formwork. The 5mm thick metal formwork of the CTR 3010 panel offers a better concrete finish in addition to fast and highly accurate vertical assembly.
• The complete equipment is assembled on the ground and then lifted in a single operation. The formwork tool allows smooth self-compacting concrete casting of any height.
• The circumference of the tank is totally reinforced with an internal brace made up of scaffolding which also provides a working board.



• The specific layout of this tank requires 4 primary castings linearly spaced with formwork tools ensuring the stability and safety of the iron assembly.
• Finally, when casting resumed, the EGDC Company used hydro expansive joint ribbon to seal the successive castings of the construction.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BUILDING SITE

• Tank circumference: 70 m
• Casting height: 13.50 m (single lift)
• Wall thickness: 40 cm
• Casting phases: 8 casts
