Project summary
The waterpark in Zavidovo will be completed later this year, but the first records have already been set. It has become the largest waterpark in Europe, and its two translucent #domes made of aluminum have also reached record sizes. The area of the water park is 54,274 m², and the transparent roof of the water park the total area of the two domes is 14,000 m², and the length of the spans is 95 m.
With such an outstanding size of the structure, the weight of the self-supporting roof structures is of critical importance. The architecture of such objects dictates the choice in favor of aluminum solutions. Self-supporting aluminum space structures are beautiful in themselves and filled with natural light, and most importantly, they do not require a heavy and expensive steel support frame.

The construction of the water park domes in Zavidovo uses high-strength aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy AD35T1, which initially proved itself in mechanical engineering and the aircraft industry, and then found application in construction and bridge building. One of the arguments in favor of aluminum was that products made from it have excellent corrosion resistance combined with durability.

For this project, we developed a three-dimensional model of the dome frame, performed solid modeling of all the elements of the structure, and issued detailed drawings for the manufacture of an aluminum frame, as well as specifications for translucent filling. The use of three-dimensional modeling significantly simplifies work on large objects with complex shapes and, importantly, ensures a high degree of automation.

We had to solve several non-trivial problems in this project. We needed to create and install a large-span dome structure, which is cut off on one side by an inclined stained glass window attached to it. It was also necessary to achieve a combination of two types of translucent filling - glass on the inclined stained glass window and ETFE cushions on the dome part.
With the roof of the water park, it was also taken into account that a large amount of engineering equipment will be attached to the frame of each of the two domes, providing for the injection of air into the ETFE cushions. At the same time, the size of the cells of these cushions is several times larger than that of glass structures, which, of course, affects the final cross-section of aluminum self-supporting profiles.
