The new building includes a 25 meter long sports pool, a target group pool with movable floor and facilities such as waterfall, countercurrent, fountains and massage shower, a pool for toddlers, a cafeteria and a room for staff.
This is a Design & Build project with the LD architects, Strabag and Fabricom.
Work began in early 2020 and the opening is expected in early 2022.
The new swimming pool complex has a water surface area of 573 m².
The project won the TEKA BIM AWARD 2020 in the sports infrastructure category.
Solar panels have been installed on the roof (100 kWp).
Rainwater is collected partly for sanitation (flushing and hand washing) and partly as replenishment water for the swimming pool (after purification by reverse osmosis).
Tractebel was entrusted with a complete engineering assignment that includes the stability and special techniques.
