Costs
As a leading manufacturer of water slides, we know that the question "How much does a water slide cost?" is one of the most common and crucial questions we are asked. It is fundamental to understand that the cost of a water slide is made up of different components. First of all, there are the planning costs incurred for the individual design as well as for the adaptation of the slide to the local conditions. This cost is then followed by production and assembly costs, which can vary depending on the size, material and complexity of the slide. Finally, additional costs which are not borne directly by us as a manufacturer must also be taken into account. These costs include, for example, foundations and water technology. All these factors influence the final price of a water slide, which is why a flat-rate price is difficult to quote. Each project is unique and is individually designed and calculated according to the wishes and requirements of our customers. For better understanding, however, we try to break down the individual components of the costs.
SERVICE RANGE | DESCRIPTION | SERVICE PROVIDERS |
| 1. Planning | This step includes the individual design and the technical elaboration of the water slide based on customer requirements and site conditions. | wiegand.waterrides |
| 2. Special approvals | This item includes all permits and special approvals which are necessary for the construction and for the operation of the slide in your country. | Preparation by the customer on-site |
| 3. Slide body | The slide body is made of high-quality materials (stainless steel or GRP) in order to ensure durability and optimal sliding conditions. | wiegand.waterrides |
| 4. Special effects | We offer individual special effects such as time measurement, light installations and sound effects in order to increase the sliding experience. | wiegand.waterrides |
| 5. Steel construction | The steel construction serves as the load-bearing scaffolding of the slide and is specially designed and manufactured by our company for the respective slide. | wiegand.waterrides |
| 6. Stairs | The stair constructions are designed to be safe and user-friendly in order to ensure safe access to the slide. | wiegand.waterrides |
| 7. Start area | The start area is ergonomically and safely designed in order to allow the ideal start into the slide. | wiegand.waterrides |
| 8. Outlet | The outlet area is designed in such a way that the end part of the slide can be integrated into the already existing water systems as well. | wiegand.waterrides |
| 9. Further accessories | We offer a wide range of accessories, such as for example insulation, facade penetration or slide tires. | wiegand.waterrides |
| 10. Safety | The safety of users is a top priority. This means that our products meet all relevant safety standards according to the requirements of the TÜV, the customer and the local authorities. | wiegand.waterrides |
| 11. Delivery | We organize and monitor the transport of the slide components to the site. | wiegand.waterrides |
| 12. Assembly | Our professional team takes care of the professional installation of the water slide. | wiegand.waterrides |
| 13. TÜV acceptance | We guarantee that the slide passes the TÜV inspection. This inspection confirms its compliance with all applicable safety standards. | wiegand.waterrides |
| 14. Foundations | The erection of the foundations is necessary in order to ensure the stability as well as the safety of the construction. The foundations will be provided by a local company after consultation with the customer. | Preparation by the customer on-site |
| 15. Water technology | This sector includes the planning and installation of all water elements which are required for the operation of the slide. All water systems must also be provided by the customer on site. | Preparation by the customer on-site |
According to the customer requirements, structural specifications and other special features, the service points must be agreed individually.
Costs and Purchase
TheCostsfor a water slide vary depending on the product, location and scope of the provided services. A simple indication of costs is not feasible, as each project is individually evaluated and offered. The construction costs can be broken down into different services in order to enable a detailed cost statement.
The costs depend on several factors, including the following ones:
- Size and length of the slide
- Material (stainless steel or GRP)
- Additional functions (for example: LED lighting, virtual reality)
- Location and installation effort
For an individualofferwe create a tailor-made calculation.
Upon request, when purchasing a water slide, the customer not only receives the slide itself, but also stairs, towers, start and run area as well as potential special effects. The delivery also includes the entire planning documents and, of course, the applicable guarantees. In addition, a TÜV certificate for operational readiness can be issued. Static calculations and technical requirements for water technology are planned by us while the foundations as well as the water technology are usually provided by the customer.
Choosing betweenGRPandStainless steeldepends on many factors. Although stainless steel can be slightly more expensive to purchase, the follow-up and maintenance costs are much lower, and the service life is longer than that of GRP when properly maintained. On the other hand, GRP moulds can be shaped individually and also offer a higher degree of design freedom in terms of visual presentation. This can be a key success factor. For this reason, it is not clear which material is the best choice.
Stainless steelis almost maintenance-free if it is used and cared about properly.GRPon the other hand, is more susceptible to damage from sunlight and mechanical wear. For this reason, an annual maintenance is mandatory. As a consequence, stainless steel offers advantages in terms of maintenance costs as well as in terms of durability.
Yes, Wiegand water slides are sold worldwide. We are in many countries, from China to Cuba, and have an extensive network to for the global distribution and installation of the slides. From here you can reach ourReference Projects.
If you purchase a water slide, the construction situation on site is the first criterion determining what is feasible. It is important to select the correct product, check the statics and construction options, calculate the production times and construction costs and finally plan the implementation. A careful planning and a consideration of all factors is critical to the success of the project. For this reason, professional advice and concrete planning is recommended.
Our slides are designed to have a long service life and low maintenance costs. Their profitability depends on the number of visitors, water and energy costs as well as maintenance costs.
The payback period depends on the operating costs and on the frequency of visitors. The operators usually expect a payback period of around 5 years.
Yes, in addition to water slides, we also manufactureDry Slidesmade of stainless steel, including, for example, escape slides, playground slides, large slides and much more. The areas of application range from amusement parks to shopping centres to office buildings. Go directly to the manufacturer of dry slides:www.wiegandslide.de
We will be happy to advise you on your waterslide project and prepare an individual offer. The maintenance work is also part of our service.
