About the Project
Pan Gulf Technologies Limited delivered comprehensive structural precast engineering for infrastructure water-treatment components in the UK. The project involved designing and modeling precast tanks including the Activated Sludge Basin Tank and Flash Aeration Tank as propped cantilevers, as well as several vertical cantilever tanks like the Final Pump Pit, Inlet Pump Pit, and Sludge Tank, with full thermal analysis and coordinated site solutions
Client Overview
The client needed precise precast tank designs capable of handling hydrostatic loads and wind stresses for critical water-treatment facilities. Pan Gulf Technologies collaborated closely with piping engineers, structural designers, reviewing authorities, and contractors to ensure design accuracy and execution readiness.
Scope of Work
Structural design and 3D modeling of various precast tanks using STAAD Connect. Reinforcement detailing, unit drawings, and shop drawings across all tank types. Analysis of hydrostatic pressure for propped cantilever tanks; calculation of temporary prop capacities to withstand wind loads. Thermal performance checks conducted on every tank to ensure design safety. Engaged in continuous coordination with client teams and delivered on-site solutions to resolve casting errors
Key Challenges
Modeling tanks with complex cantilever conditions under hydrostatic and wind loads. Conducting accurate thermal checks to anticipate temperature-driven stresses. Aligning design deliverables with multiple stakeholder requirements in a high-stakes infrastructure context.
Solutions Delivered
Pan Gulf leveraged STAAD Connect for structural modeling and analysis, while precision in detailing and drawing deliverables ensured fabrication accuracy. Active stakeholder collaboration and adaptive problem-solving—especially to correct casting errors—helped maintain project quality and schedule integrity.
Software Used
STAAD Connect – for structural modeling and hydrostatic/wind load analysis.
Tedds – for calculation verification and supplementary structural validation.
Results Achieved
Delivered precision-engineered 3D models with corresponding reinforcement, unit, and shop drawings. Stabilized tank construction under demanding load conditions and met thermal safety requirements. Facilitated fabrication and execution with timely, site-specific adjustments and stakeholder-aligned outcomes.
