Technical Room on a Water Tower - Evergem, Belgium SE Owner Vlaamse Maatschappij voor Watervoorziening (VMW) Architect VMW General Contractor De Raedt Ivan NV, Zele Engineering Office Ingenieursbureau G. Derveaux nv Construction Period 09/2011 - 12/2011 The construction of a technical room on an existing tower for water intake, located in an open water reservoir. The plan of the little building is designed as a half circle (diameter 11.2 m) and it is positioned upon a regular heptagon. The calculation model was built up as a 3D model with slabs, walls and columns in reinforced concrete. A part of the existing tower, in reinforced concrete, was also modelled. The specific complex shape of the building necessitated a 3D model, on which all loads could be modelled accurately. The calculation of the reinforcement according to Eurocode 2 in all concrete elements, that is the walls, slabs, and columns, was executed by the SCIA Engineer modules.
