\"\"Working on behalf of main contractor ISG, EvadX has completed the steel erection<\/a> for the Rhyl water park.<\/p>\n

Housed within a double wedged-shaped structure, topped with a wave-like roof, the contract will deliver a 1,200m\u00b2 leisure pool with flumes, slides and water play features, an adventure area containing a multi-level adventure area, a changing village and a caf\u00e9 and bar area.<\/p>\n

One large steel frame<\/a> houses the entire facility with a line of columns and a partition wall running down the middle, separating the wet zone (aquatics area) from the dry area.<\/p>\n

Each of these zones is housed within a large column-free<\/a> hall topped with a wave-like roof, with each one sloping in the opposite direction to the other.<\/p>\n

As well as being a nod to the water park\u2019s location, the wave-like roofs and, in particular, the wedge-shapes have been chosen for their efficiency.<\/p>\n

According to the project architect, Space & Place, the two wedge shapes provide optimum volumetric arrangements offering better views through to the seafront, reducing the overall visual mass of the building and creating a more interesting architectural form.<\/p>\n

Alliance Leisure Senior Business Development Manager Julia Goddard said: \u201cThe development in Rhyl will completely transform the town\u2019s leisure provision, creating a stand-out attraction which will draw an estimated 35,000 extra visitors to the area each year.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreating sustainable leisure facilities<\/a> which inspire community engagement is always our ambition and this latest development project will certainly achieve this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
