The strongest way to support the walls in this type of set up wouldn't be this repeating square structure. In fact, I think standing water sat in this area. Posted by 'Dukes 5/4/2005 1:31 AM | remove   See the fasteners on the top of the concrete? Looks like this was covered. Posted by INeedAttention.com 5/4/2005 1:33 AM | remove   Excellent observation. Maybe it's time to start one of those "does anyone know what this is" thread. Posted by 'Dukes 5/4/2005 1:35 AM | remove   I know what you are saying; somewhere in the LDB was a treatment plant like this; no roof; you can even see the structure on the sat photo; Posted by Samurai 5/4/2005 4:56 AM | remove   that treatment plant you were thinking of was in Birmingham(?), Alabama and I think it was one of Servos' or Irishs' locations. Posted by 'Dukes 5/4/2005 9:16 AM | remove   Yes! Posted by LostintheWoods 11/18/2008 6:23 PM | remove   Building is designed to hold a volume of water, so the walls have to withstand a lot of tensile pressure, while maximizing interior volume. A support matrix like this is the best way to accomplish that. If this building was 100 years older, it's footprint would be twice the size due to 3 foot thick walls, and exterior support buttresses.
