Objective
The principal centres of research and development in storm water management highlight the ever growing problems caused by rainy events. The proposal intends to design and develop a precast concrete product for improving performance in urban flood control, pollution minimization and stormwater harvestings in urbanized areas. The basis of the approach is, firstly, systematic technical review of existing realisations concerning the Reservoir Structures, followed by integration of the needs and requirements into the development of a new solution using precast-concrete elements. The project aims at the settling of a precast-concrete product that would have a vacuurn ratio about equal to 60, (that means 600 liters of water stored inside 1 m3 of pavement), and that would not be too expensive, in order to reach the largest market. The project will result in the testing on-site of the solution developed by the partners.
The innovation of the project consists in the use of the precast-concrete material. It enables to overcome the limits and to improve the performances of the classical used materials (rough gravel and honeycomb structure in plastic material) as described in the State of the Art and Degree of Innovation ( 1.2 of the proposal). This project is very important for SMEs in the southern part of Europe and hundreds of SMEs of those countries could be interested in the results of this project. The SMEs, from the precast concrete industry, are manufacturer of precast-concrete products, then they will be able to manufacture the new product to be developed after a two year period of further development needed after the end of the project. They will also be able to carry-out the new structure, targeting then a new opening market
