The project comprised the construction of a storm detention tank of approximately 3,500m3 capacity. The tank was located within the First Team pitch area at North Shields Rugby Club in Preston Village.
The Tank consisted of 15 No. Weholite HDPE pipes of 1.5m diameter and one of 1.8m diameter with a 300mm HDPE half channel and benching.
The overall tank footprint is approx 120m in length by 34m wide with six Weholite HDPE access shafts for inspection and cleaning at each end and buried access blank flanges to cover six manholes at the centre of the tank.
Two permanent access tracks were provided for NWL tankers to gain access to the manholes at each end of the tank formed using a ‘Hoofmark Golpla’ reinforced grass.
