Description
The aim of this large project is the creation of the innovative, enclosed aquatic center in which to hold swimming tournaments and possible Olympic games. This complex will house a total of three swimming pools one Olympic size, another for diving, and a multi-use swimming pool.
It has been designed in such a way that, in its everyday use, it is possible to carry out trainings for all types of aquatic disciplines (swimming, synchronized swimming, diving and water polo, among others) and the development of recreational swimming programs for the general public as well as schools.
In addition, it is equipped with a mobile floor that is able to control the pool depth. This surface, which covers the Olympic and the diving pools, allows practicing non-aquatic sports such as basketball and volleyball.
The area where the Olympic pool is located has a 15,000 person capacity. The area where the trainings and local competitions take place consists of 700 mobile seats. It also has other facilities to address the needs of the public, athletes, and personalities that visit the complex.
ULMA Solution
Various products were used to complete this large project. The execution of the columns with a width of 1.20 x 1.20 m and a height of more than 6 m was done thanks to the ENKOFORM V-100 formwork. This product was also used to set up the walls, of one or two faces, with a thickness of more than 50 cm. In those instances of considerable height, such as the core of the structure, Conventional Climbing Systems were used, such as the Climbing Bracket CR-250, with all of the pertinent safety measures.
In the execution of the slabs, with a thickness that exceeded 40 cm, the standard pieces of the ENKOFLEX Horizontal Formwork were used, together with EP Props and T-60 towers. These shoring systems, with a high load capacity and displayed in towers, also facilitated the support of prefabricated beams.
