Why WWR?

Construction and Features

With Wiegand's professionals

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.

With water

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%.

Above 50 km/h possible

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.

Almost vertically possible

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.

It depends

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.

From the bottom to the top

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.

Water and dry slides

Basically, at the company Wiegand, we offer water and dry slides. We distinguish between the following categories:

Water Slides

  • Body Slides

  • Slides in the kids area
  • Park Slides

Dry Slides

  • Special Slides
  • Playground Slides
  • Slide Trails

In addition, the company Wiegand is building its own steel substructure for all slides as well as access stairs and platforms for wet and dry areas. We offer a complete service from planning to production to assembly. From here you can reach ourPerformances.

Tailored

The construction work begins with an individual planning phase, in which we adapt the design to the circumstances and wishes of the customer. After that, the production takes place in our own plants by using high-quality materials such as stainless steel and GRP. The prefabricated slide parts are then assembled on site and extensively tested before the commissioning phase. Even after the installation, we will be available with maintenance and services.

Proper Sliding

Follow the signs

In order to slide properly, it is crucial to observe the signs at the start of the slide. These signs define the correct sitting position and hand posture. Steeper slides often have stricter specifications than flatter slides in order to ensure safety and enjoyment when sliding.

The technology decides

The fastest slide position depends on the type of slide. When you useBody Slideswithout aids, the three-point method is recommended: crossing the legs so that only one heel touches the ground, tensing the body and lifting the buttocks in the air while pressing the shoulders down to keep in contact with three points. When you useTire Slideson the other hand, the influence is possible due to a shift in weight. However, water slides equipped with tires are much less susceptible to influence and have a more uniform sliding behavior.

The force of gravity helps

A higher weight can lead to a better acceleration due to the force of gravity, especially if the person is proficient in the three-point method. When you useTire Slidesmore weight within the safety specifications can lead to higher speed levels.

Pay attention to the safety-related aspects

The capacity depends on the type of slide. While broad family slides can accommodate multiple people at the same time, fast high-speed slides are designed for individual users. In this context, various security aspects play an essential role.
