Here loads are directed onto a base consisting of a gravel bed topped with a layer of
sand.
At water depths of around two metres,
panels of stainless steel can also be erected
as self-supporting structures. In such cases,
2.5 mm thick panels are affixed to a support
frame. When welding stainless steel components together, a certain amount of staining

To test the watertightness of the whole construction, the pool was filled with water and
monitored over a period of five days. Then a
dye test was performed, to check the proper
functioning of the pool hydraulics.
Building work on the open-air pools at Prinzregentenstadion was carried out in the winter of 2001/02, without closing down the iceskating rink. Thanks to stainless steel and
the fact that it can be easily worked at low
temperatures, the refurbishment could be
carried out in the period from November to
April, at a time when the outdoor pool is
closed, in any case. By the start of the bathing season in 2002, the pool and its new
attractions were ready to welcome visitors.

Choice of material
For reasons of hygiene, the water in all public
swimming pools has to be specially treated.
In most cases where a pool is renovated, it
is also necessary to modernise the water
treatment installations. In the Prinzregentenstadion a vertical mixing system is operated. Treated water is fed into the pool
via jets located on the floor, then 100% recirculated back into the collector tank of the
treatment system via the overflow gutters.
The rapid, efficient mixing that occurs
through this system means less disinfectant
is required.
Although the open-air pools are generally
filled with drinking water, which has a low
chloride ion content, levels of between 200
and 500 mg/l can occur as the water is recycled within the system. The water temperature in the pools varies from 26 to 32C.
Higher temperatures increase the chemical
aggressiveness still further.
Because of these corrosive conditions, grade
1.4404 stainless steel (approx. 17% chrome,
12% nickel, 2% molybdenum) was chosen.

Geothermal heat is
sufficient to prevent ice
freezing on the sides of
the pool.
No special measures
need to be taken to
protect stainless steel
pools for the winter.
