Saransk is the capital of the Russian republic of Mordovia. Already 2010 the city has begun, to invest in infrastructure. Right next to the Ice Palace and the Sports Stadium, the palace of water sports was built. After the date of the opening was postponed due to delays in the other trades, was planned for December 2011 the completion of the bridge over the competition pool with a width of 25 meters. The pool itself is built with a length of approximately 51,50m, so that the end position of the bridge results in a pool length of 50,20m. With a displacement of the bridge to 25 Meter gets you 2 separate pools with a length of 25 Meter. These pools can be used differently in training and competition.

The village Kaprun, in the middle of the Austrian Alps 2010 expanded its tourism offer by the hotel thermal spa "Tauern SPA". The terrain, on which the Hotel Therme was built, is called alluvial.

He has therefore chosen a variable and possibly weather-independent construction for the pools. The very precise requirements of architects have been implemented through a redesign of the overflow gutter and of the hydraulic connections. The stone-covered gutter saves energy, especially in the mountains.
The outdoor pool Meinerzhagen is located within view of the A45 Autobahn and had to struggle with the consequences. The abrasion of the tires sat down every year on the slide the pool wall. In a previous step, the water treatment had been converted to Vacuum Precoat Filtration. The dimensioning of the circulating flow done for cost reasons and because of the good filling water quality on 50% compared to DIN 19643. This places special demands on the hydraulics of the pool. The pool in the old state had a deep overflow channel and below the floor level slopped walls. Unfortunately, the old overflow reservoir had been dimensioned a bit too small – or the overflow channel and the gradient tubes too large. Therefore, this system had to be changed with a smaller channel and replaced with pipelines in the right slope.
