Wezenberg Olympic Pool, Belgium

The facility is an official training pool where Flemish athletes train and where major championships are held. The original specification to provide solar protection was to apply a reflective film to the glass. In practice, the film did not provide sufficient protection for the users, the heat and glare creating an uncomfortable environment. Guthrie Douglas’ TESS™ 312 systems were proposed to be retrofit, for their strength and stability in extra large spaces, covering up to 6m widths with one system.
