Due to our more than thirty years of experience in the construction of stainless steel pools, we have developed a special construction process. Starting out from a watertightly-welded stainless steel pool construction with appropriate reinforcers, solutions can then be found for all applications. This method can be used for both outdoor and indoor pools, and for the modernisation of old baths as well as for new pool constructions.

The construction principle of the stainless steel pool is built up as follows:

• The prefabricated side-wall elements (including the overflow gutter) with a length of up to 5m are constructed to be resistant to bending by means of vertical ribs over the entire water depth (up to max. 2.2 m). The wall elements are anchored on a strip foundation by means of a reinforced top concrete layer. In the case of outdoor pools, the horizontal loads on the pool surrounds are diverted into the strip foundation by oblique supports. For indoor pools, the loads on the pool surrounds are diverted horizontally into the concrete layer around the pool.

• For deeper areas (diving pool), the lower part of the side wall is constructed as the cladding of a concrete slab.

• The pool floor is formed as a loose metal skin, which requires a supporting substructure, usually in the form of a gravel bed with a top layer of sand.

• Pool fittings such as benches, niche ladders, etc. are integrated into the wall elements in the factory and are moved as prefabricated parts.

• The clean water inflow system is realised via floor ducts with patented inflow openings and is delivered as standard.

Floor laying work: The floor panel sheets are welded in straight. The electrochemically coloured lane markings (orientation aids for the athletes during races) are still partly covered for protection purposes.		In order to minimise expensive and time-consuming casing work (tongue foundations for oblique supports), a broader strip foundation is generally preferred.
