Craig House dates from 16th century and is a significant historical estate on the periphery of Edinburg. Today it is listed among buildings and sites in the A category of national heritage, and is used as a hospital.
Our New Elevetor Tank is used to build the concrete structure ‘in situ’, released from heavy columns and beams. A tank was built to provide more efficient water management system. It took just 4 days to build the tank, providing 1,900 m3 of underground water storage space, available also for inspection and maintenance.
The amount of concrete used to build the tank with New Elevetor Tank is decreased comparing to standard structure containing pillars and beams. The placement of the formwork was easy and fast, and no additional heavy-lifting machinery was necessary.
The existing infrastructure was modernized without changing the landscape. Modernizing the infrastructure of historical places improves their sustainability and provides their long duration and use.
