A swim in beautiful surroundings

On the Norwegian island of Hareidlandet lies the town of Ulsteinvik, which opened the doors to a new forum for culture and sports in the autumn of 2017. The newly built Ulstein Arena contains a swimming pool, a multi-purpose room and a library. Artelia delivered expertise in the field of swimming pool technology in particular. This is a specialist area that is also being used in Denmark, where we are participating in the construction of two indoor swimming pools in Frederikssund and Amager.

While Ulstein Arena overlooks the Norwegian mountains, the two Danish indoor swimming pools both overlook green areas that can be seen through large sections of glass.

Energy-efficient solutions
Indoor swimming pools generally have high energy consumption. That is why it is important for the technical installations to be built with a view to minimising the consump-tion. In both Frederikssund and Vestamager, there were extra high demands on the sustain-ability aspect.

Energy-optimal water treatment plants and ventilation systems with a high degree of heat recovery will be used. LED lighting with automatic light control has been used, and all the technical installations are controlled and monitored by the CTS system. The buildings are insulated optimally and constructed with triple energy glazing, and there are solar panels on the roofs.
