SWDP Torrevieja - Alicante
Date: 2007/09
Type of work: Civl Engineering
Located between the beach of the shipwrecked and the natural park of La Mata (Torrevieja), the Torrevieja Desalination Plant is the biggest in Europe and the second in the world with the inverse osmosis technology. The work consisted of different structures of large dimensions containing many inner walls. The height of almost all of them is 6 or more meters although on being finally buried they seem to be lower. A total of around 100.000 m2 of walls were implemented. For the implementation of walls the option was Alsina’s Alisply system given the high complexity of their construction. Thanks to its great flexibility the system could be perfectly adapted to the different heights required due to the bended shape of the reinforcement being assembled.
Alisply Circular was used for the circular digester and Alisply Universal allowed the implementation of columns up to 11 m high which were concreted in just one go without any trouble. The Alispilar system was used for columns with smaller sections and up to 6 m high. From the safety point of view the bet was on the Alsipercha system and the displacements between different levels on site were made by means of the Access Stairways.
