Fluidra, the listed Spanish multinational dedicated to the development of applications for the sustainable use of water, will design, supply and install the Olympic competition pool, in addition to the training pool for the 29th Summer Universiade, the World University Games that are to be held from 19 to 30 August in Taipei.
The project, worth a total of 5.1 million euros, has been commissioned by Taipei City Government and includes some of the most advanced solutions. Specifically, the floating Skypool system that makes it possible to build a temporary pool without affecting a sports pavilion’s flooring as it does not have to be anchored to the ground. Furthermore, the system will use the compact Nephron water treatment system, which was specially designed for provisional swimming competition facilities and has already been used in some world swimming championships.
Once the 29th Summer Universiade is over, the pools will be moved from the Multipurpose Gymnasium at the National Taiwan Sport University to its definitive location in south Taiwan.
The project has strengthened Fluidra’s presence in the Asia region and its pursuit of growth in the Commercial Pool sector through the sale of engineering solutions, one of the core drivers of growth in the Strategic Plan.
