References for GRP Profiles: Center Parcs Aqua Mundo

Center Parcs is known for its magnificent swimming pool complexes that make visitors believe they are on a palm beach in a sun-drenched foreign holiday resort. The dome of the subtropical Aqua Mundo swimming complex at the Het Heijderbos holiday park in Heijen was completely refurbished in the spring of 2016 because the air cushion roof had reached the end of its service life, and the existing wooden roof structure was in poor condition. Wood and moisture are hardly an ideal combination and that meant a unique opportunity for our composite profiles, even though we obviously had no upfront guarantee that the customer would take the bold step of choosing our products.

The existing main trusses, made from laminated wood girders, could be retained, the rest was replaced by maintenance-free composite. This was our largest production project ever for composite I girders. The I-780x300mm girders in the bottom ring were more than 26 metres long. The vertical beams, based on the I-240x150mm profile, were more than 23 metres long. In total, more than 40 tons of composite were required.
