The Royal Marine Aquapark dome is the creation of Oakville-based OpenAire, which specializes in totally unique structures that incorporate retractable roofing systems.<\/h2>\n

OpenAire has created retractable roofing enclosures for water parks, hotels, community centres and other commercial applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt 26m \/ 86\u2019 high and 85m \/ 278\u2019 in diameter, it\u2019s the largest free-standing aluminum dome structure in the world,\u201d says OpenAire president Mark Albertine, \u201cAnd the unique retractable design makes it the first park of its kind. There is simply nothing else like it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The waterpark has been planned as a steel\/polycarbonate structure (polycarbonate Sheets and System provided by Koscon Industrial S.A.<\/a>) <\/strong><\/u>with an idea of a retractable roof.<\/p>\n

People don\u2019t want to be inside on a beautiful day; opening the roof instantly transforms it into an outdoor facility, giving users the best of both worlds. Plus, opening it up to outside air helps reduce dehumidification costs for water facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be a gorgeous, light-filled space that takes advantage of the outdoors whenever possible,\u201d says Deborah Baker, OpenAire COO. \u201cFamilies will love being able to get a break from the cold in winter \u2013 and feel the sun on their faces in the warmer months.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
