Pill Shaped Tanks

Pill shaped tanks use a combination of circular and rectangular structural designs and are the optimal shape for oxidation ditches and other activated sludge applications.

Features & Benefits

  • Above grade or buried
  • Concrete remains in constant compression
  • Aesthetic versatility
  • Maintenance-free
  • Cost savings
  • Higher quality concrete due
  • Faster installation
  • Smaller environmental footprint

Pill Shaped Post-Tensioned Concrete Tanks

Dutchland precast post-tensioned concrete pill shaped tanks use a combination of circular and rectangular structural designs and are the optimal shape for oxidation ditches and other activated sludge applications. Each structure is custom-designed by our experienced engineering team to meet the specific needs of each project. Dutchland pill shaped tanks are designed to AWWA D115 Standard and/or ACI 350 Standard and can be constructed as single or multiple interconnected concentric channels to accommodate process needs or site constraints.
