Despite relatively high snow and water loads present on the site, Vector Foiltec’s skillful engineering enabled optimization of design to alleviate ponding issues. We used BIM and 3D modelling to make the supporting structures required to contain the Texlon ® ETFE cushions as light as possible. Vector Foiltec addressed design, foil engineering, fabrication and construction of the translucent Texlon ® ETFE enclosure covering 5100 m². This building highlights the versatility of the Texlon ® ETFE technology that is often associated with large projects, such as the Baku Olympic stadium. In addition to solar control, the high amount of light transmission being transferred into the building, allows for a reduction in artificial lighting requirements. It gives water park goers the feeling they are outdoors. The Texlon ® ETFE cladding incorporates a special frit that allows generous light transmission into the building, while maintaining optimal solar control and perfectly controlled climate all year round. This indoor waterpark is one of the largest in the Northeast, and is also one of the most innovative. It fulfilled the creative ideas envisioned by the client, as well as the high structural and thermal requirements for an enclosed water park located in the mountains. Texlon ® ETFE was selected as the perfect technology for this project.
Visitors to the new Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark at Camelback Resort are in for a unique experience. The lightweight Texlon ® ETFE panels that drape elegantly over the glulam secondary support structure create the best controlled climate for indoor waterpark fun all year round.
