HIDROSTANK has supplied innovative reinforced polypropylene access chambers for the project of Telecommunications Neutral Operator promoted by MAGTEL, declared ‘strategic project” by the Government of Andalusia   The project consists of the design, construction (pipes, draw pits, chambers, poles…) and operate of a regional fiber optic network. As NEUTRAL OPERATOR MAGTEL handles the deployment and allows other operators to provide services through the network. The MAGTEL project has a planned investment of 118 million Euros over five years, with 2,800 kilometres of urban and interurban lines.   HIDROSTANK has worked closely with technicians of MAGTEL defining the best solution for telecommunications channelling. The characteristics of the HIDROSTANK access chambers (easy transport, assembly and installation, high resistance and versatility to make the inlets) bring great benefits to the deployment, and speed  the civil works up, especially in urban areas.

This year HIDROSTANK has supplied their HIDROBOX cells((also known as Storm Cells, Soakaway Modules, and StormCrates) ) in a project in SAINT ETIENNE, FRANCE   HIDROSTANK worked closely with technicians from both the Technical Office and the contractor in the definition of the solution finally adopted.   The modularity and ease assembling of HIDOBOX cells, certified by Bureau Veritas, enabled a very quick installation of the 3 retention tanks, of about 400 m3.   France is one of several countries where HIDROSTANK is selling their HIDROBOX as a solution for the infiltration/retention of rainwater wherever possible to  enable a sustainable urban drainage (SUDS):   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QnhADIo_gw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka5uIwbCMr4

Hidrostank was present, trough its distributor TECNORED, at ChileSol 2014 in Santiago, Chile. A 2 day event covering the CSP and PV solar challenges to build successful projects in Chile and South America.   TECNORED presented HIDROSTANK innovative modular Access chambers specially focused to  to electrical and telecommunication chanelling in projects like: • Civil works: highways, roads, airports, railways … • Residential, Industrial Estates … • Projects photovoltaic / thermal     In Chile, they have been provided in the main photovoltaic projects (Pozo Almonte, Llano de Llampos, San Andres, Diego de Almagro …) On the other hand, HIDROSTANK chambers have the approval of the SEC, CHILQUINTA … and very positive feedback from pilot installations done for telecom operators.  

Las arquetas de HIDROSTANK estuvieron presentes, gracias a ENERCOM, en la última edición de la feria de REDES ELÉCTRICAS SUBTERRANEAS celebrada en Sao Paulo, Brasil, los días 3, 4 y 5 de junio de 2014.   La exposición ya es un referente en el panorama nacional y el espacio único para la discusión de los trabajos sistemas de energía eléctrica más fiable adecuado para entornos urbanos y cuenta con la producción nacional total apoyo para cumplir con las tecnologías clave necesarias para la implementación de redes subterráneas.

HIDROSTANK has supplied its HIDROBOX infiltration cells to one of the drainage works of the Green Belt of Vitoria, European Green Capital 2012. The total volume exceeds 400 m3.   The Local Government of the City of Vitoria-Gasteiz, in February 2013 awarded the works of the second phase of the reform of the “Avenida de Gasteiz”, to the company Yarritu SA. The investment for this second installment finally amounts to 5,495,362.45 euros,   The transformation of the Avenida Gasteiz and its environment in key green infrastructure will address some of today’s most pressing problems and also serve to increase the overall environmental and convivial quality of the place. Interventions are raised to improve the following aspects: mobility, biodiversity, water management, energy management and the quality of public space; all aspects related to the efficient functioning of the urban system.   Regarding water management various interventions are planned to improve sewage (avoiding overload and flooding problems), and regain ecological and hydrological function of the river network. On the one hand, there is a  proposal to derive the clean waters of the Batan river to Zadorra. On the other they try to restrict the entry of stormwater into sewer through the installation of urban sustainable drainage systems associated with natural depuration systems for rainwater.   HIDROSTANK has worked closely with technicians of both the City of Vitoria and the awarded bidder in the defi
