Leader in network solutions, technology and sustainable development
Our business lines > Civil engineering
Civil engineering works are involved at all stages of SADE Serbia’s interventions. Far from limiting itself to the hydraulic civil engineering that is at the core of its business activities, SADE Serbia very quickly diversified its range to offer traditional civil engineering services.
As facilities linked to drinking water networks, reservoirs must play their part without degrading the quality of the stored water and comply with strict regulations. Their design, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation are all aspects that SADE Serbia can handle with its integrated pool of expertise.
For retention basins, SADE Serbia is able to realise the design, the construction (earthworks, water-proofing, civil engineering, related facilities, etc.) and finally the works and systems maintenance.
For storage basins, SADE Serbia has all skills necessary to well design this type of structure and build it according to exact procedures.
SADE Serbia undertakes regular maintenance or selective repairs of these installations that are strategic elements in the treatment process
Drinking water lift stations, wastewater and rainwater lifting stations and pumping stations are all network associated facilities in which SADE Serbia specialises.
SADE Serbia integrates its field of expertise required for the design, construction, remote or hands-on management and maintenance of these complex installations where efficiency, monitoring, availability and protection are of prime consideration.
SADE Serbia’s activities in this sector are very varied:
Sheet piles
When soil conditions sometimes make certain works difficult to carry out, SADE Serbia then makes the site safe by installing sheet piling: shoring for pipe laying or ground support to undertake underground civil engineering work.
Whether installing a manhole, a discharge station, a wastewater treatment plant basin, etc., sheet piles ensure the safety of the workforce and support the ground for works to be carried out in unstable soils.
Gabions
SADE Serbia’s expertise covers the technique of using gabions, whether as elements of construction or for decorative purposes. They are a prime example of SADE Serbia’s sustainable development approach, by using the natural resource of stones sometimes taken from worksites and re-using them for this new purpose.
Anti-flood barriers
During storms at sea, anti-flood barriers provide security for sea-front residents and their dwellings.
Made of spaced columns in which boards are inserted (cofferdams), these barriers allow the waves to dissipate while blending perfectly with the landscape.
The installation of anti-flood barriers requires a precise specification of the necessary height, depending on the previous increase caused by strong tides, storms or cyclones. The maximum wind speed and the strength of the waves are also parameters that are taken into SADE Serbia’s calculations.
