There are some norms used for water slides.
These;
- FRP Water Slide Parts : EN1069
- Metal Construction: EN1090
- Mounting Materials: EN1090
- In slide and metal construction designs, the requirements in EN 1069-1 and the calculation rules in ASDC-89 are taken into account, and column quantities and diameters are determined according to these rules.
It is very important to get help/support from experienced and professional companies for all these processes. Our company has become one of the rare companies experienced in its field by carrying out a large number of aquapark contracting transactions in its 25 years of operating life.
Norms on Water Slides
Water slides, one of the types of slides used for entertainment in aquaparks, must be designed and produced in accordance with the requirements of the EN 1069 norms. Otherwise, it is almost inevitable that there will be accidents that can lead to great damage and even loss of life.
Water slides are designed in different ways according to their types. This diversity; It is subject to different classifications within itself such as Type-1, Type-2, Type-3 ... Type-10 in the most norm. For each water slide, there are safety requirements such as slope, water flow, curve condition, obligation to slide with or without boats, bend condition and safety barrier requirement. In particular, the size of the water slide and the sliding method bring different requirements.
The Importance of Paying Attention to Safety in Waterpark Production
Not every polyester company can produce their own water slides. Because the production of water slides starts as a model mold product. It requires different processes such as R&D, engineering, production knowledge and drawing during the period from the installation stage to the field. Unfortunately, these transactions can be done by some companies in an underground way and by ignoring all security measures. While the Ulusal Havuz produces in accordance with European Norm standards, some manufacturers can operate in a land-based production system without technically performing earthquake resistance, snow, rain, wind, water load, own load, person load, live load tests.
While the number of companies that can produce with the "RTM" model in the aquapark production sector is quite low, other companies produce in the hand layup model. It is of great importance for those who want to build aquapark and large water slides to pay close attention to production differences during the comparison of offers, to visit the manufacturer and to make a decision by carefully examining the references.
