Nearing completion on Gellert Hill overlooking the Danube at Budapest is an enclosed pianoshaped water reservoir of 80 000 m3 capacity. The complexities of this waterproof, stressed concrete structure, which entailed placing 2 000 m2 of base slab in 41 hours and erecting walls in situ in 20 m sections 350 mm thick and 10 m high, presented several technical challenges. They are discussed here by the department head of the Civil Engineering Design Enterprise, Melyepterv.
