MOVEABLE BULKHEADS

A moveable bulkhead is a relatively newly invented piece of equipment used to improve or modify the way of managing an existing pool converting an installation into a multipurpose pool. There are several moveable bulkhead variations. The following rules apply to them all :
The moveable bulkhead shall stand a load (with swimming pool empty) of 250Kg/m2. In use and under the stresses caused by the lanes, the waves and the swimming activities to be evaluated in approx. 150 kg altogether at the centre of each swimming lane. The maximum bending allowed in the centre of the moveable bulkhead shall not exceed 13 mm.

 

WALKING SURFACE 

The horizontal and vertical surfaces of the moveable bulkhead are made of dimensioned HD polyethylene moulded grids and can be flats grids.

The edges of the moveable bulk- head consisting of two mirrored head sections are finished in stainless steel AISI 316, mirror polished, with accident prevention finish suitable to stand possible stresses caused by floor washing operations.

BEARING WHEELS 

The bearing wheels can vary in terms of number and diameter according to moveable bulkhead size. They are generally 2 and maximum 3 each side and are machined from a cylindrical PVC extruded piece. They are 200 mm long with diameter 180mm. The plank made of stainless steel AISI 304 is obtained from a round bar with a 45 mm diameter and is fixed to the main structure of the moveable bulkhead by special stainless steel supports.

SPACING WHEELS
To prevent the wharf during its movement from deflecting off the expected path and crashing against the pool walls, two pairs of wheels are provided.

ANCHORING FOR LANE TRACING LINES
The anchoring points for the lane tracing lines are fixed to the moveable and bulkhead structure. They are made of stainless steel AISI 316.
