- Aukra (Norway)

In Aukra, Norway, our fitters successfully worked on an installation project at the Kulturhus OG Svømmebasseng. This new cultural centre, called Torget, will be a meeting place for all residents of Aukra municipality. The complex will include a 25-metre swimming pool, a library, activity rooms, offices and a banquet hall. With a total area of about 4,700 m², the building is designed as a multi-purpose facility for daytime and evening use, focusing on functionality and cohesion.

Accessible and flexible pool solutions

For Variopool, this was a multi-faceted project in which several innovative solutions were applied. A movable floor measuring 25 x 6.2 metres with a slope was installed in the pool, combined with a 12.5-metre ramp. This ramp makes the pool optimally accessible for disabled users, possibly with a wheelchair.

In addition, a 25 x 2.9-metre folding wall was installed. This wall divides the pool into two parts and also acts as an insulating wall. This allows the water temperature to be raised in one section, which is ideal for young children and the elderly, among others. This solution also contributes to the pool's flexibility and wide range of use.
