Last Thursday 18/11/2021, the innovative system for sustainable drainage DRY PAVING SYSTEM (DPS) was awarded within the framework of the 15th anniversary of the NAN Awards for the Best Architecture and Construction Materials Projects, under the watchful eye of more than 150 professionals from the architectural and construction field. The NAN Architecture and Construction magazine announces annually these awards to designate companies that have excelled in R&D, innovation, quality, and design of the materials that they manufacture, market, distribute or install in works and reforms. The Dry Paving System (DPS), jointly developed by AH Asociados, HIDROSTANK and Pavimentos de Tudela, was awarded as the best pavement and cladding. The Jury for the « NAN – Best Construction Materials 2021 » Awards was composed by Ricardo Cortés, Juan Elizaga (Ferrovial), Jordi Garrigó (FCC Construcción), María Moreno López de Ayala (SEOPAN), Guillermo Muñoz Cabañas (Dragados SA) and Antonio Muñoz Pino (OHL Construction). « Dry Paving System » (DPS) is a constructive paving system endowed with a high infiltration capacity (more than 100 l/m2/min) and with a retention of rainwater under its surface. DPS consists of precast permeable and decontaminating concrete slabs (ecoDraining) with an underground structure made up of polymer geocells (HIDROCELL) manufactured entirely with recycled plastic. The set, which manages to reduce contamination while partially purifying the rec

HIDROSTANK invites you to the next REDSUDS 2021 Conference that will take place in Valencia on Tuesday 15 June 2021. The event will have a hybrid face-to-face-virtual format, conditioned by the current health restrictions. In parallel to the face-to-face event with limited seating capacity to be held at the School of Civil Engineering of the Universitat Politècnica de València (Assembly Hall, Building 4H), the event will also allow participation and viewing via streaming. REDSUDS is a collaborative network that constitutes a forum for the discussion and dissemination of knowledge that allows the generalisation of the use of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) in Spain. The REDSUDS 2021 Conference takes over from those held in 2017 and 2019 and will present the latest advances and experiences developed in Spain. Attendance to the REDSUDS 2021 Conference is free of charge, in any of its modalities, in person or online, prior registration at this link. HIDROSTANK offers various sustainable drainage solutions (SUDS) as an alternative to traditional drainage: – HIDROBOX attenuation crates: their modularity allows customised sizing of infiltration/detention tanks, ditches and drainage ditches. They allow the possibility of inspecting the tank – HIDROCELL attenuation cells: New DRY PAVING SYSTEM! – Drainage set – VORTEX valves for flow regulation

The new stormwater detention tank consists of a concrete structure with a volume of 176 m3, occupying an area of 19×11 m2. HIDROSTANK SL has supplied our tipping buckets and Spillway PAS Screens, which guarantee the good operation of the tank. The construction of the storm tank in El Sardinero (Santander, Cantabria), carried out by Aqualia, has meant an investment of 851,084 euros, charged to the resources allocated annually as a fee for the execution of new works, improvement or renovation of the networks. This project will substantially improve the environmental conditions of the pre-existing spillage by avoiding the discharge of water from the first washing into the sea, as this facility will also carry out a purification task by cleaning the dirt produced by the dragging of the water on the ground. The operation of this Storm Water Retention Tank (#DRAT) can be seen in this good and educational video by Aqualia: Foto: eldiarioalerta.com

HIDROSTANK has supplied its HIDROBOX attenuation crates (also known as Storm Cells, Soakaway Modules, and StormCrates) in the BeAAT Expansion Project Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Company (Takreer) awarded to the Spanish EPC company INTECSA the project that involves the expansion of the BeAAT treatment plant, which includes the extension of the current facilities in Ruwais for the treatment of industrial waste produced by ADNOC Operating Companies. The plant is based at Adnoc’s Ruwais complex, 250 kilometres west of Abu Dhabi City. The scope involves the expansion of a wastewater treatment plant. Intecsa Industrial is a Spanish engineering company with more than 50 years experience in Engineering, “Turn-key” execution of industrial plants and supply of technological packages, for both domestic and international projects. HIDROSTANK has worked closely with the technicians of INTECSA in the definition of the solution finally adopted. The easy assembling of HIDROBOX infiltration crates, certified by Bureau Veritas, enabled a very rapid installation of the infiltration trenches and deposits. Its modularity enables, not only to optimize both transport and storage at destination, but also a dimensioning according to the requirements of each project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QnhADIo_gw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka5uIwbCMr4

HIDROSTANK has recently supplied its innovative modular reinforced PP manholes at the improvement works of infrastructure at Kamembe International Airport. The Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority (RCAA) awarded the spanish company GECIWEB the “Supply, installation, testing & commissioning of aeronautical ground lighting, fence lighting, power & communications and all civil works of Kamembe International Airport”. GECI has an extensive experience in engineering and construction of airports all around the world. HIDROSTANK have worked closely with the technicians of GECI, the awarded EPC company, to define the best solution for the telecommunications & CCTV ducting. For several years, HIDROSTANK has been collaborating in the execution of infrastructure projects, where the characteristics and advantages of its manholes (its easy installation and handling, together with its high resistance) enable to fulfil, and in some cases shorten, the demanding deadlines of execution. This project joins the numerous projects already carried out in AFRICA, EUROPE, LATAM and MIDDLE EAST

The 58 MW BAYASOL photovoltaic plant, built in Matanzas (Dominican Republic), was inaugurated last May 13th. HIDROSTANK supplied its innovative reinforced polypropylene modular access chambers, that enable the contractor to do the civil works faster. The plant was completed on time despite the difficulties of the pandemic. The project has an investment of approximately US$ 60 million and a nominal power for grid injection of 50 megawatts, equivalent to the energy needed to light approximately 26,000 Dominican homes, said Juan Ignacio Rubiolo, president for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean of AES Corporation. HIDROSTANK has worked closely with the technicians of the awarded EPC, TSK, to define the best solution for the electrical & telecommunications (CCTV) ducting. For several years, HIDROSTANK has been collaborating in the execution of solar and solar plants, where the characteristics and advantages of its modulas cable pullboxes (its easy handling and installation, together with its great resistance) enable to fulfil, and in some cases shorten, the demanding deadlines of execution. This project joins the numerous projects already carried out in LATAM, EUROPE, AFRICA and the MIDDLE EAST.

At the end of last year, HIDROSTANK supplied its PAS type spillway screen, together with a tipping bucket cleaner, at the WWTP in Munitibar, Vizcaya. The Bilbao Bizkaia Water Consortium has recently commissioned the Munitibar wastewater treatment plant and its associated collectors. The works, which have lasted almost three years, have involved an investment of more than 2.7 million euros, financed by the agreement signed with the Provincial Council of Bizkaia. The system designed by the Bilbao Bizkaia Water Consortium consists of a treatment plant for the correct treatment of wastewater, a pumping station, a general collector and associated collectors, and a storm tank, which will prevent overflows into the Lea riverbed, with the consequent environmental improvement of the headwaters of the river. HIDROSTANK has worked closely with the technicians of the joint venture formed by Ferrovial Agroman and Cadagua in defining the solution finally adopted. Hidrostank designs, manufactures and installs PAS- type spillway screens, one of which is installed at the Munitibar WWTP. These screens have a high solids retention capacity and a simple, effective cleaning system. The screens feature a perforated grid of 5 or 6 mm in diameter, incorporating a pump that sends a jet of water through an ejector to keep the perforated grid clean. The pump has a cover that enables maintenance operations from the outside, differentiating the unit from competing products. PAS type screens can be instal
