Aarberg Swimming Pool is being renovated. As part of the renovation at Volzweg 1 in Aarberg, the facility will receive two new stainless steel pools. A load-bearing layer of 4/8 mm chippings was created for installing the pools. We supported the project with planning, consulting, and blowing in the material.
Before execution, we checked the feasibility of the work. The focus was on the site conditions, accessibility, and the planned structure under the stainless steel tank. The execution was then carried out in two stages, coordinated with the construction progress and other on-site work.
Planning and consulting for the Aarberg swimming pool
For a swimming pool renovation, the structural requirements are clearly defined. Existing system components, access routes, and the ongoing construction process determine how materials can be introduced. Together with the Stettler AG Studen Therefore, we checked the feasibility before execution and provided support with planning and consulting.
Blowing in chippings has a clear advantage here: the material can be applied precisely, even when space and access on the construction site are not easy everywhere. This helps to integrate the work well into the ongoing construction process, especially with an existing facility.
Execution in 2 stages
The work at the Aarberg Swimming Pool were implemented in two stages. This approach allowed for a clean execution of individual steps and a clear structure in the process.
- The first stage took place in March. 53 m3 of 4/8 mm chippings were blown in.
- The second stage followed in April 2026, during which another 65 m3 of 4/8 mm gravel was introduced.
Overall, this results in a volume of 118 m3 of gravel for the Aarberg swimming pool. This quantity shows the scope of the work and the importance of the base layer for the new pool construction.
Material entry for existing systems
Blowing in chippings is particularly suitable where material needs to be introduced precisely. With existing facilities like the Aarberg swimming pool, this allows areas to be reached that are only accessible with difficulty via conventional transport routes.
The chippings were guided to the designated location using blasting techniques and there incorporated as a layer for further basin construction. This procedure supports an orderly construction process and reduces additional material movements in the immediate work area.
We are delighted to share many wonderful swimming moments in the Aarberg community and that we were able to contribute to the renovation of the Aarberg swimming pool with our work. A heartfelt thank you to Stettler AG Studen for the order and the pleasant collaboration.
