Construction | Due to the difficult geotechnical conditions of the former quarry site, a special construction method was required for the surf lagoon. Before the foundations were constructed, the ground was stabilized with a temporary backfill. The foundations were strengthened with a T-shaped reinforcement to increase stability. This design prevents subsidence and ensures the smooth operation of the surf lagoon. It also avoided the use of more than 1,200 piles, which would have been necessary in these conditions. |
