Atlantis Tank disposable formwork

10 Application example: water collection tanks. Thanks to its modularity, manoeuvrability, ease of installation and large vertical accumulation capacity, Atlantis is the ideal tool for creating large volume tanks at extremely low costs. Its spherical vaulted structure provides the concrete casting with considerable resistance with less thickness so that the outside of the tank can be used as a surface for a parking lot (ex.: the IKEA parking lot in Amsterdam) or for sports facilities (ex.: tennis courts, football fi elds etc.). The same principle can also be applied to residential building, both for individual homes or in the case of parcelling. It is possible in fact to prepare suitable volumes to be covered with Atlantis formworks, which will be subsequently fi lled with the rainwater collected by the building's rainwater draining system. The volume of collected water can be used for all applications that do not require potable water, such as for fl ushing the wc, for the washing machine, watering the garden, fi re extinguishing pumps, etc. The tank must be made waterproof and have an overfl ow valve installed. Tank maintenance is made possible by the large walkable spaces inside the tank, created through the combined use of the Atlantis system and the Beton Up accessory. A large distance between the columns can be obtained with the use of Atlantis 100%.
