Pumping Stations with PE-HD Shaft Systems in Groundwater The Stability of the Base Plate Is Crucial

Pumping stations with PE-HD shaft systems in groundwater
The stability of the base plate is crucial

Groundwater exerts enormous forces on the shaft system. In particular, the base plate is of special importance to protect the armatures inside:

Classically built shaft systems:
The base plate is made of PE-HD and may bulge inward under high groundwater pressure. This creates tensions in the armatures, which could lead to long-term damage.

DORANT system with reinforced concrete base plate:
The reinforced concrete core in the base plate of the DORANT pumping station remains stable even under high groundwater levels. Its position does not change, ensuring that the armatures inside remain permanently protected.

In the composite construction of PE-HD and reinforced concrete, the advantages of both materials complement each other, resulting in an innovative overall solution for the pumping station.
