COMPETITION POOLS TECHNOLOGIES & SOLUTION

MYRTHA TECHNOLOGY TO BUILD A SWIMMING POOL In the world of aquatics competition, Myrtha Pools technology enjoys a championship presence. Having provided pools to multiple Olympic Games, FINA World Championships, Universiades and hundreds of top competition and community venues around the world, it’s fair to say Myrtha knows its way around the podium! Our patented, modular pool system, utilizing engineered, laminated stainless steel panels, is the ideal competition venue solution. Strong, watertight and millimetre accurate, our process begins with painstaking attention to planning and design...

STRONG STAINLESS STRUCTURE Chosen for maximum structural strength and resilience, high-quality stainless steel is used for all Myrtha pool components. Our pools are built from pre-engineered panels and buttresses that are all mechanically fastened. There are no welded connections in a Myrtha pool as welds are susceptible to corrosion. Our proprietary system ensures a long life for pool structures regardless of environmental conditions, soil type, high water tables etc. 4 WATERPROOF A water-tight solution is very important when you’re building tanks to hold two and a half million litres of...

MYRTHA TECHNOLOGY SUPERIOR MATERIALS FINE FINISHES Modern pools can be architectural marvels or cornerstones of a community where yes, functionality is important, but aesthetics are also essential. Myrtha technology features a wide range of exclusive finishes and materials including stone, tile and marble, with a selection of colours and finishes allowing clients to create a unique environment to meet their needs. 5

COMPONENTS OF A MYRTHA POOL BASE FRAME A base frame of bolted steel sections creates the structure to support the wall panels. Strong chemical anchors connect the base to the concrete slab. Threaded bars anchored to the perimeter provide rigidity and millimetric levelling ability. Pool walls are formed from sturdy stainless-steel panels, bolted together and to the base frame. The inside face of the panels is laminated with a hard PVC layer, while the backs are clear coated for protection. No steel welds are used in a Myrtha Pool. SUPPORT BUTTRESSES OVERFLOW GUTTER POOL FLOOR Vertical...

MYRTHA TECHNOLOGY To ensure optimal waterproofing, all joints between the Myrtha wall panels are sealed with liquid PVC or reinforced PVC tape. The resulting joint is water resistant and optically uniform with the panel surface, leaving an elegant wall finish. After the pool has been sealed and overflow gutter installed, a ceramic tile finish is applied. By eliminating the possibility of water seepage behind the tiles, our stainlesssteel surface offers superior tile adhesion, eliminating a common problem of concrete structures.
