METHOD FOR PROVIDING A WATER TOWER, AND WATER TOWER

摘要

A method for construction of a water tower (1) made of reinforced concrete, according to which a reservoir (3), constituting the water holder proper, is entirely built substantially at the level of the ground, and is then raised via progressive lifting of a stem (5) for supporting the reservoir (3) itself; the method envisages the use of a mobile formwork (9), which supports the reservoir (3) via hydraulic jacks (14) and is designed to enable forming of successive segments (28) of the stem (5) and progressive lifting of the formwork (9) and of the reservoir (3) via progressive construction of columns of sand (30) that are compacted inside ducts (29), which extend along each segment (28) of the stem (5) and along the formwork (9).
