This document discusses notable projects that used Reflex formwork systems to construct curved concrete walls. Some of the projects mentioned include the Mildura Waste Water Treatment Plant, Burringbar Waste Water Treatment Facility, West Pottsville Reservoir, Yepoon Reservoir Tanks, Sandgate WWTP, Mt. Julian Reservoir Tank, Point Lonsdale Tank, Heathfield Waste Water Clarifier Tank, and Mt Usher Reservoir. Reflex formwork allows for easy construction of curved walls using pre-assembled panels that can be adjusted for dimensions. Customers chose Reflex due to benefits like labor savings, improved productivity, and ease of erection and dismantling.

3. Mildura WWTP
Client: G & A Constructions
Location: Mildura, Victoria
A water treatment plant was constructed
in Mildura with the capacity of 80,000Ml
to remove high levels of blue green
algae toxins from water taken from the
Murray River.
RMD Australia supported the project by
supplying Reflex formwork to construct
the circular PAC Contact Tank and Wash
Water Tank. The main reason Reflex was
used on this project was because Reflex
makes the construction of curved
concrete walls easy due to it being a
pre-assembled panel that is easily
adjusted to suit the dimensions of just
about any curved wall.

4. Burringbar waste water treatment facility
Client: Delnote Constructions
Location: Mooball, Northern NSW
RMD designed and supplied the
Reflex circular wall formwork
system for the construction of two
circular Reactor Tanks with an
internal diameter of 7.5m and wall
height of 2.2m.
When these tanks were completed
extra panels were used to construct
an Overflow Storage Tank with an
internal diameter of 9.6m and wall
height of 4.5m. To achieve this height
two 2.4m high Reflex panels were
used on top of each other. A Reflex
walkway was used to keep workers
safe and provide access.

5. Client: Tweed Shire Council
Location: North East, New South Wales
The Reflex curved wall formwork system was
ideal for the Tweed Council’s requirements
because of its excellent durability, high
productivity and significant labour gains. The
majority of the reservoirs they required were
32m in diameter and 7.2m high. The walls were
poured in four full height segments.
RMD Australia supplied special 3.6m high reflex
panels with splice plates to eliminate the need
for any stiffening soldiers across horizontal
joints. Super Slim Soldiers, push/pull props and
accessories were supplied for plumbing
purposes with special walkways on external
and internal forms. A pour rate of 1.5m per hour
was achieved.

6. Yepoon reservoir tanks
Client: Hornick Constructions
Location: Yepoon, Queensland
This is one of two reservoir tanks that
Hornick Constructions built in Yepoon,
this one is 12m in height and 45
metres in Diameter.
Hornick Constructions are recognised
as one of the leaders in the design
and construction of liquid retaining
structures, reservoirs and tanks in
Queensland.
Hornick used the Reflex circular
formwork system to construct the
base of the tanks and they were very
happy with its capabilities.

7. Sandgate WWTP
Client: John Holland Pty Ltd
Location: Boondal, Queensland
The Sandgate WWTP is located at
Boondal in Brisbane and was
constructed by the Brisbane Water
Enviro-Alliance (B.W.E.A). RMD Australia’s
client was John Holland Pty Ltd.
RMD supplied 540m² of Reflex Panels to
form the clarifier tank wall and the baffle
wall forms; the pour length was 8.0m (4
panels long) and 6m high 2 x (2.4 + 1.2
Panels). The photograph shows the
Reflex formwork with Super Slim
Soldiers running up the back of them,
these are required to strengthen the join
in the panels when the panels are being
gang lifted.

8. Mt. Julian reservoir tank
Client: Clough Downer RML JV
Location: Mackay, Queensland
The Mt. Julian Reservoir Tank located
near Mackay in Queensland was
constructed using the Reflex circular wall
system. The tank has an internal
diameter of 11.8m, wall height of 3.8m and
wall thickness of 250mm. The Reflex
panel system was erected to the full
height of the reservoir using a 2.4m high
panel and a 1.2m panel bolted and
clamped together.
The main benefits realised from using
Reflex on this project was the need for
less labour and the ease and speed at
which the Reflex was erected and
dismantled.

9. Point Lonsdale tank
Client: Ace Water
Location: Point Lonsdale, Victoria
Single sided Reflex circular formwork
was used by Ace Water to construct a
tank at Point Lonsdale, a coastal
township on the Bellarine Peninsula,
near Queenscliff in Victoria.
Due to the Reflex panels being single
sided, Slimshor vertical shoring was
required to keep the panels in place.

10. Heathfield waste water clarifier tank
Client: Delnote Constructions
Location: Heathfield, South Australia
Delnote Constructions required support
in the construction of a waste-water
clarifier tank. This involved the
construction of one tank inside
another. The smaller tank has the
radius of 6.9m and the larger tank has
a radius of 14.7m. Both tanks have the
same wall height of 4.8m, which was
catered for by using 2 x 2.4m Reflex
panels.
Delnote Constructions elected to use
RMD on this project because Reflex
provides significantly improved on-site
productivity and improved labor costs.

11. Mount Usher reservoir
Client: Whitsunday Island council
Location: Whitsunday Island
The Mt Usher Reservoir is a 1.52ml
water reservoir with a diameter of
21.5m and a height of 4.9m.
The initial wall pour used the Reflex
curved wall system only, and for the
second pour, the Reflex panels were
supported on a Super Slim Soldier
walkway structure that used the tie
locations from the first pour. This
provided an access walkway around
the external and internal panels.
The Council were pleased with the
Reflex system because the panels are
easy to radius and erect, had fewer
components to use and required less
labour than other systems.
