Schwimmbäder

Whether it's a thermal bath, a municipal swimming pool, or a private pool: building swimming pools is a demanding task. Design, structural, building physics, and pool technology requirements must all be taken into account. Even small planning or execution errors can lead to significant damage.

This book presents the fundamentals for a flawless overall planning process. The author also addresses renovation and maintenance issues. He identifies typical sources of error and provides assistance for expert assessments of defects and damages. Concrete damage examples illustrate how severe damages and escalating repair costs can be avoided by recognizing and addressing them in a timely manner. The author draws a cross-disciplinary connection from competent client consulting to compliant design, damage-free construction execution, professional construction supervision, and the integrative planning of construction and operation of swimming pools.

For the second edition of Newen Arndt's book, the damage cases have been updated based on the new sealing standards and supplemented with new examples. A dedicated section addresses the topics of sustainability and energy efficiency.
