Waterproofing a logistics hub

Waterproofing a logistics hub realised with the Drytech Tank structure: the Service Centre (DLC) of Walter Meier (Climate Switzerland) AG is a 12,000 square metre storage area that serves efficient and ecologically optimised logistics.

The company is integrating energy efficiency into the new building: the DLC is built according to the Minergie standard and the building services are equipped with state-of-the-art technology.

For example, with the use of a large PICO heat pump for heating and cooling.
A photovoltaic system with 4,200 panels is also installed on the 7,200 square metre roof.

Waterproofing the denitrification tanks

The walkway through the denitrification tanks made of the waterproof structure Drytech White Tank

Waterproofing the denitrification tanks of a water purifier is the most severe test for the watertightness of a system due to the particular aggressiveness of the waste water.

The Bresso Niguarda treatment plant was equipped with a new denitrification basin of 10,800 m³.

Wastewater denitrification is a process for the removal of nitrogenous compounds present in solution by optionally heterotrophic bacteria.

The part of the plant where the process takes place is a rectangular tank divided into two chambers of equal size, connected only superficially, which allow the continuity of the treatment, even when one of them needs to be emptied for maintenance.

Being a single waterproof concrete structure, the Drytech tank has the advantage of allowing maintenance interventions carried out from inside the tanks and immediately verifiable.
