Bara Consult (Pty) Ltd, a newly formed company whose founders have experience and are specialists in reservoir design, is a niche market consultancy that specialises in the design of water retaining / excluding structures, in particular reinforced concrete reservoirs.

Our Distinctives...

1. Advanced Shape Optimisation Analysis

Experience has shown that, for a given storage volume, savings of up to 5% of construction cost can be achieved through shape optimization alone. The effectiveness of shape optimisation means that project specific site conditions, geometric constraints and local cost trends must be captured as input factors.

Traditionally shape optimisation has not been offered since designs are simply reused without considering the above. Bara Consult offers advanced shape optimisation as a standard value added service.

2. Technical Speciality

Reservoir design and construction has numerous risks. Bara Consult mitigates this through specialised reservoir design by Engineers with expert technical know-how in the field.

3. Lifecycle cost orientated design approach

Our approach to design entails a high regard for asset lifecycle and low maintenance cost. Specific attention is given, from the conceptual stage, to concrete durability, water-tightness and low maintenance considerations.

4. Custom Reservoir Design Software

Our reservoir design is performed with the best software tools available technical deliverables on every project.

Our Experience...

BARA Consult has undertaken numerous conventionally reinforced and post-tensioned concrete reservoirs ranging in capacity from 0.5ML up to 50ML with the ability to exceed 50ML.

In addition Bara Consult has undertaken design reviews of other complex curved liquid retaining structures such as biodigestors and reservoirs with curved thin walled roofs.
