Despite a steady and drenching rain, which prevented them from applying concrete, students from Missouri University of Science and Technology recently had a trial run at building a water-holding tank. It was a muddy, yet valuable experience theyll remember as the Engineers Without Borders chapter travels to the tiny, remote community of Tacachia, Bolivia.

  • Good start! I hope you finish the project by explaining the thinking that went into building the frame. I notice you doubled up on the rebar in places - how come? What sort of mix/concrete do you use to build the tank? How thick do you layer it? How many worker-hours to build a tank of 5K gallons?
