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.

Dimensions
The model RR1200 can be flexibly adapted to terrain and structural specifications. Due to its design, this model is suitable for medium to large areas. Depending on the route, height and length can be individually determined. The company wiegand.waterrides takes care of the complete planning, production and assembly – all comes from a single source.
Construction and Features
The manufacture of water slides depends on the specific requirements of the customer and the chosenmaterial. There are two main materials: stainless steel and glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP), which are produced in Wiegand's own plants in Rasdorf and Brüssow in Germany. With over 350 employees worldwide, the company ensures that the slides are pre-produced in the best possible way in order to minimize assembly times at the site. Theconstructionis carried out internally in regular coordination with the project management, the customer and theproduction.
A water slide uses an inclined plane and smooth materials such asGRPorStainless steelto allow low friction downward movement. The running water and sometimes rubber tires or mats help to further reduce friction so that one or more people can have a sliding experience at the same time. The speed is determined by the slope of the slide, with classic slides such as theWR1040which usually have a gradient of up to 13%.
The slide speed on a water slide varies depending on the slide type and design. Cozy slides such as whitewater rivers reach speeds of about1–2 km/hwhile steeper high-speed slides can reach over50 km/h. The speed is influenced by various factors, including the slope of the slide, the amount of water and special design elements.
We customize the said parameters to allow for different slide experiences, from the gentle family slides to action-packed adrenaline rides.
The steepness of water slides can vary considerably. The most extreme form is theFalling startwith a gradient of over 80°, which changes from an almost vertical start to a smoother slide. In contrast, whitewater rivers are almost horizontal. Generally speaking, the steeper the slide, the faster the slide speed.
TheConstruction periodof a water slide cannot be specified as a flat rate, as this period depends on the size of the slide, the production utilization and the construction phases. As a rule, you should expect several months from project planning to completion. For some projects, such as for example cruise ships, planning can take several years. The assembly time varies between a few days and several months depending on the type of slide.
The construction of a water slide begins with the preparation of the foundation. Depending on the site structure, support pylons and stairs are then erected, followed by the assembly of the outlet basin. The slide itself is usually assembled from the bottom to the top. This is done by our own assembly teams and auxiliary workers on site.
Basically, at the company Wiegand, we offer water and dry slides. We distinguish between the following categories:
Water Slides
- Body Slides
- Tire Slides
- Slides in the kids area
- Park Slides
Dry Slides
- Special Slides
- Playground Slides
- Slide Trails

Service and maintenance
Our GRP water slides require regularMaintenanceaccording to the standard DIN EN 1069. Our service team carries out annual inspections, repairs, cleanings and upgrades to increase safety, performs professional cleaning and repairs slides regardless of the manufacturer. We will be glad to draw up a maintenance contract with you. Request service now.
The operation of a water slide requires compliance with the DIN EN 1069 standard as well as regular safety tests. The operators must carry out maintenance, ensure water quality and check the slide system for damage. Emergency procedures and clear safety instructions for guests are also required.
The water quality has a direct influence on the longevity as well as on the preservation of the slide materials. Too high chlorine or salt contents can accelerate the corrosion in metal parts such asStainless steeland can attack surfaces ofGRP slides. For this reason, careful monitoring and regulation of water chemistry as well as regular maintenance are essential to minimise material wear and to extend the life of the slide.
The regularCleaningof GRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic) slides is essential for their durability and safety. OurService - Teamoffers professional cleaning services for your slides, both indoors and outdoors. Damaged areas are polished and the slides are thoroughly cleaned, especially before commissioning at the beginning of the season. For optimal care, we recommend carrying out these cleaning measures on a regular basis.
The regularCleaningof stainless steel slides is essential for their durability and safety. OurService - Teamoffers professional cleaning services that include both polishing damaged areas and thorough cleaning of the indoor and outdoor slides.

The steel elements of a slide should be regularlycleanedand maintained in order to prevent corrosion and build-up. OurService - Teamoffers professional cleaning services, including polishing and protective measures for the long-term preservation of the surfaces. Especially before the start of the season, thorough cleaning is advisable in order to keep the slide in optimal condition.
In order to ensure that the water slides are used for a long time, regularMaintenanceand care of the individual components must be guaranteed. A maintenance joint is replaced as follows:
During the first step, the old existing seal must be cut out of the joint without residue by using a sharp cutter knife. After that, the edges must be carefully ground in order to ensure the adhesion of the new seal. During the next step, the area must be thoroughly cleaned and taped. Now the new joint can be filled with new sealant.
The damage to water slides can usually be professionally repaired. Our service team takes care of repair work on both our own slides and on systems from other manufacturers. We repair damage to sliding surfaces, landing pools, stairways and joints. Furthermore, we take care of the renewal of ageing acrylic or macrolone elements.
