Curved Wall Construction
for Circular Water Tank
Showcasing the advantages of customized curved aluminium formwork for large-diameter RCC water tanks, ensuring superior quality, watertightness, and precision.
Project Details
| Project | Circular RCC Water Tank |
| Location | Gujarat |
| Inner Diameter | 12,000 mm (12 meters) |
| Wall Height | 4,475 mm |
| Wall Thickness | 230 mm |
| Type | RCC Curved Wall Construction |
| Formwork | Specially designed curved Aluminium Formwork Panels |
The client undertook the construction of a circular RCC water tank to serve as a vital water storage infrastructure. The project demanded precise curved wall construction to ensure structural integrity, hydraulic performance, and durability.
Challenges
- Achieving perfect curvature and maintaining dimensional accuracy across the entire 12-meter diameter.
- Ensuring watertightness of the structure due to water-retaining function.
- Need for high-quality surface finish and monolithic pour without joints or cold joints.
Our Scope of Work
Design & Supply
- Custom-designed to match the curvature (radius 6,000 mm).
- Manufactured with precision to reduce on-site modifications.
On-Site Support
- Supervision during formwork fixing.
- Technical assistance to ensure proper alignment and pouring sequence.
Formwork Highlights
- High repetition aluminium panels with easy handling.
- Smooth finish minimizing the need for plastering.
- Time-efficient assembly leading to faster cycle times.
Execution Strategy
1. Formwork Planning
Modular curved panels designed to perfectly follow the 6 m radius curve.
2. Assembly
Panels were joined using stiffeners and alignment supports to form a strong circular mold.
3. Concrete Pouring
Continuous pour was conducted to avoid cold joints, critical for water-retaining structures.
4. De-shuttering
After curing, the formwork was removed, revealing a smooth and consistent monolithic finish.
