Construcciones Yamaro: Coerco’s stormwater system drives project improvements

By

A stormwater management system is an essential foundation in the early stage of any large-scale civil works.

Designed to effectively control and minimise impacts of stormwater runoff, whilst protecting the environment, modular tank systems like Flo-Vault use underground infiltration and detention techniques. These streamline the installation process, provide increased compressive strength and operational life, whilst delivering long-term environmental benefits such as flood relief and improved wastewater management.

When building from the ground up on any major construction project, the design and installation of an effective stormwater management system serves as the foundational piece in the broader puzzle. Buried beneath the surface in strategically designed pits, the right water containment and pump system infrastructure are essential components that must work in tandem to ensure the reliability and integrity of an asset and its surrounding environment.

Traditional systems typically capture stormwater from impervious areas such as buildings, roofs, carparks, pavements and roads. In industrial and commercial projects, tonnes of stormwater must be captured, stored and efficiently discharged via infiltration or slowly released directly into the municipal network. However, if not managed effectively, an increased likelihood of flooding can result, as well as the potential contamination of local waterways.

This is where modular stormwater systems like Flo-Vault can help minimise and control large volumes of stormwater runoff.

Australian complete liquid control specialist Coerco is renowned for its capabilities when it comes to engineering fit-for-purpose stormwater systems for underground water containment. Designed with commercial projects in mind, the company’s systems can be installed in various volumes, shapes and depths to meet specific project requirements.

Coerco’s stormwater solutions can be configured to work alongside other integrated filtration technology to improve wastewater collection and filtration through a system of underground channels and tanks, before the excess water is discharged into the local municipal network.

Coerco technical sales manager Baran Unal said the Flo-Vault structural lightweight tank system is used to construct underground water storage for various applications.

“The modular nature of the system allows for the easy construction of tanks of any volume capacity, and can be designed to accommodate specific site conditions,” he said.

Mr Unal highlighted that Coerco’s modular stormwater tank system outperforms outdated aggregate trenches, as it provides a void space of over 95 per cent compared to realistically less than 20 per cent in common aggregate trenches.

“With a significantly smaller footprint, our system can achieve the same storage capacity as an aggregate trench. This ultimately saves clients time and money as the lightweight design makes installation faster, safer and cheaper. It also prevents the build-up of sediment, unlike the characteristic clogging seen in aggregate based approaches,” said Mr Unal.

“We’re very focused on achieving highly efficient water management solutions, which is why our modular tank system excels. This also improves the environmental footprint and compliance onsite, as the sub-surface location of the tank system provides more useable ground area and a greater aesthetic setting compared to above ground concrete or plastic tanks.”

One recent example is the installation of Coerco’s Flo-Vault modular tank system on an infrastructure project in the Perth suburb of Malaga by Majestic Plumbing. The system was constructed for use in a sub-surface pit with a water storage capacity of approximately 220 cubic metres, and featured a compressive strength of 40 tonne/square metre and high infiltrate rate. The modular nature of the system allows for fast assembly and installation, which can be up to 300 cubic metres per day with only four people, providing significant time and cost savings, and allowing plumbing contractors to complete more jobs with less resources.

In addition to the Flo-Vault tank system, Coerco designed and engineered a pump station for trade waste, located two metres below the surface. This featured dual Tsurumi pumps, and a pump controller, which means that if one pump fails, the other one will kick-in, and the alarm will sound to alert onsite personnel.

Ways to Keep your Privacy in a Balcony

An apartment has no specific space to enjoy small reunions with friends and relatives out in the open, but if you are lucky enough to have a balcony, you will have an extra space with natural light. However, there is a downside because it does not grant you any privacy. It is not a good idea to shut this space down with some walls and a small window since it will interfere with the flow of air. There are several ways to enjoy a balcony and to have some privacy while you are at it, and Construcciones Yamaro gives you some ideas to do so: 1. -  Bamboo blinds : Bamboo is an ecofriendly element so is excellent for the environment, which is ideal to give a natural touch to this area . Bamboo blinds are easy to set because this is a light and flexible material. It will give you privacy and it will create a barrier to block sunrays, thus giving freshness to the rooms. 2. -  Plants : They are a great idea if you privacy fo
