Aquapalace Praha

characteristic

The biggest middle European waterpark was built in the industrial zone in extremely short term – in less than one year. Public opening ceremony took place on 7th of May 2008.

METROPROJEKT Praha a.s. the general designer did not start design works by study in a greenfield but by research of non-completed object which had waited for the investor since 2003. Time and especially poor-quality of concrete works were the main reasons of the bad condition of the construction. From the only start the designers had to deal with many problems and defects they normally don't meet with..

Completion construction study dealt with changes required by the investor in the first phase then with the documentation for change in zoning permit, documentation for building permit and documentation for change of the construction before its finishing. Except traditional professions, the project included specializations which are not traditionally part of METROPROJECT design projects - swimming pool technology, extremely complex water management, water protection again bacteria legionella, chlorine room, aquarium technology etc.

Aquapalace Praha consists of three thematic areas connected by artificial river: Big Waves Palace, Adventure Palace and Relaxation Palace.
