HIGH HUMIDITY CALLED FOR A NON-CORROSIVE
SOLUTION; AESTHETICS CALLED FOR COLORFUL DUCTS
The architect and consulting engineer preferred the non-corrosive
nature of fabric ducting to create a marvelous colorful design for
the largest aquatic and leisure facility in the northern region of
Victoria, Australia
SPORTS
WATERMARC AQUATİC CENTER, GREENSBOROUGH, AUSTRALIA
WaterMarc is the largest aquatic and leisure
facility in the northern region of Victoria,
Australia. It was designed by Peedle Thorp
Architects, who wanted to make use of colorful
fabric ducts to create a marvelous design.
Waterman AHW was the consulting engineer
on this regional multiactivity center and they
recommended FabricAir for the project to benefit
from the non-corrosive nature of our ducts.
Controlling air velocity was vital to safeguard
against uncontrolled evaporation from the
water surface and create a draft-free environment
for the guests.
BACKGROUND
SPORTS: NATATORIUMS
The solution we delivered was designed to play
a role in the architecture of the space through
the use of color. Light grey and blue Combi 60
ducts with NozzFlow™ were suspended by
Type 8, All-In-One to ensure great looks with
and without air.
Our solution is not affected by the high humidity
in the hall and thanks to efficient air dispersion
the air velocity and temperature are precisely
controlled.
SOLUTION
The result is a non-corrosive, technically
superior solution that also looks great with
its colorful and aesthetic appearance.
RESULTS
Fabric Combi 60, light grey / blue
Suspension Type 8, AIO
Flow models NozzFlow™
Total air flow 175.842 m3/h

“Fabric ducts were chosen for this project because
they are the most suitable in a corrosive environment
and will not be affected like metal ducts would
have.
The architect was happy with the fabric ducts from
an aesthetic perspective; the attractive look of the
ducts makes them a part of the architecture and
acts as great decorative element. But most important
was that it is suitable in a corrosive environment.”
Says Michael Becker, Air Conditioning Systems.
