How does the support system look like?
The GRP beams are positioned under the side walls of the settling channels. The distance of the beams is designed accordingly. Up to a module width of 1.4 m usually 2 beams are sufficient, for a module width of more than 1.4 m 3 beams have to be used.
Load of the beams
The beams can bear a high load of more than 1000 kg. When doing the static design, the operation weight (the own weight of the system + water and sludge load) in case of a drained tank has to be considered. This might reach approx. 100 kg/m³ for drinking water applications or even up to 200 kg/m³ for sewage and basically depends on proper maintenance. In consequence the customer has to give his input requirements for the load design. We deliver the complete support system with GRP-beams, the appropriate fixing system including brackets made of different materials as well as the fixings to horizontal main beam.

Standard length 3 m – other lengths on request.
