Why do engineering and design make Splashtech™ waterslides the most versatile in the Industry? See for yourself.

At a western ski resort, skiers share the mountain with a curious twist of tubes. Hugging the hillside, the waterslide brings otherwise dead space alive with action. Inside, it is a warm and airy illusion even on the wintriest day.
In a shopping mall, three flumes project through the mall roof, encircle large support columns, wind their way in and out of a restaurant and hover over the pool. The splash down has splashed up profits at the associated restaurant.

At a European aquatic park, the splashdown pool and stair tower were already constructed when Company personnel were contacted who worked within these predetermined points to add four flumes, complimenting the swimming pools, hot tubs, mineral baths, wave pool and therapy pools of the resort. Working with established resorts has been the mainstay of Splashtech's business.

These unique installations have one element in common with each other and all Splashtech™ designs -- creative engineering based on exacting standards. Whether a ski resort, shopping mall, restaurant or aquatic park, engineering is the element that makes Splashtech, Inc. continuously successful.

Knowing the limitations of traditional waterslides, engineers took great care to design flumes which ensured safe rides. After months of engineering, the Splashtech™ fiberglass molds were made with exacting dimensional tolerances. This precision permits a matless ride.

The laminate structure used by Splashtech, Inc. for producing the Splashtech™ flumes also enhances safety. Hand- lamination in its tubular products provides for a mirror-like interior, a uniform cross section and a greater translucency in the finished product.

The creation of a thrilling, but safe ride has always been the concern of Splashtech, Inc. When designing a slide, Splashtech's designers not only track the path of the water through the slide, but more importantly, they consider how a person slides. A large adult will not slide the same as a small child. The rider will slide differently at the top of the slide than at the bottom; riding position also affects the ride. These and other variables become prime considerations because they affect the safety and the enjoyment of the ride.

Computers are used to aid in the design process. With custom software developed especially for Splashtech's designers, they are better able to create the dips, hairpin curves, and switchbacks which make Splashtech™ Slides the ultimate in fun.

As part of the engineering process, Splashtech's designers prepare load tables and calculations to predict the loads experienced by the flume and how stresses are transferred to the support structure. To aid in construction, drawings and tables detail the interface, layout and three-dimensional location of all flume components. From initial design through completion, superior engineering serves as the key to a superior product. Splashtech's principals boast of nearly a two-decade track record in the waterslide industry without a serious incident on any of their products!
