Aquatic Centre Drainage
Sparkling blue pool, a rainbow of swimsuits on squealing children desperate to race along slippery paths, trying to beat the summer heat, the laughter and splashes create a vibrant scene. This joyful image is common in aquatic centres, but it highlights the critical need for effective drainage systems. Without proper drainage, the very spaces designed for fun and recreation can become hazardous.
In any aquatic centre, good drainage is crucial. It helps manage the constant presence of water around the pool deck, preventing the accumulation of puddles that can lead to slips and falls. Good drainage ensures that water is efficiently siphoned away, maintaining a dry, safe environment.
Public Spaces - Safety is no Accident
Public and commercial aquatic centres face enhanced drainage requirements. These facilities host throngs of people, making the need for robust drainage solutions even more critical. It’s no longer just a matter of addressing the pool surrounds; the broader space, including pathways, canteens, and amenities, must also be considered. With large volumes of water being splashed and spilled, combined with the use of pool chemicals and exposure to the outdoor environment, aquatic centre drainage systems must be able to handle significant and varied demands.
Safety is important in aquatic centres. Drainage systems must be designed to provide slip resistance and trip resistance, while remaining gentle underfoot. Surfaces should be constructed to reduce the likelihood of slips and trips, ensuring patrons can move about confidently and safely. Moreover, the materials used need to withstand exposure to water, chemicals, and varying weather conditions without deteriorating.
