Some 132 precast concrete units from Cemex have been supplied for the construction of an environmental lagoon at the BASF Seal Sands site near Hartlepool. The lagoon is designed to store run-off water which could contain hazardous chemicals. The 'L' shaped, 4m deep precast units were designed to accommodate a floating cover which would prevent the loss of volatiles. As site restrictions meant in-situ concrete was not an option, precast concrete was chosen as the best option to form the shape of the lagoon and meet the requirement for rapid installation with minimum use of plant and manpower.
