2009 … 2010 Hydraulic design and construction management of outdoor pools Tauern SPA
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. The structural engineer had to take this into consideration and has decided to, to let build the pools only at a time, when the largest forces already rests on the foundations. 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.
