Madrid Spain
Efficient irrigation system for the Paseo de Recoletos • Fluidra’s technology is used to water trees and green spaces on the Paseo de Recoletos walkway, which leads from Plaza de Colón to Plaza de Cibeles. Thanks to the telemanagement system, automatic irrigation networks in green spaces can be controlled online.
• Over 35 municipalities currently manage their green spaces using this system, which controls the operation of over 4,000 watering systems in around 5,000 hectares of green space, approximately 44 times bigger than Madrid’s Retiro Park. These areas are making savings of over 30%, both in water consumption and in maintenance costs.
Bogotá Colombia
Leisure pool Full installation of the largest business and leisure centre in Colombia, El Cubo, owned by Colsubsidio, the country’s largest family welfare financial institution. The 25-metres-long semi-Olympic pool is on the second floor of this large 32,000 m2 complex at the heart of Bogota. The use of alternative energies and efficient water consumption were prime considerations in the construction process.
Barcelona Spain
CRAM, treatment of seawater Four Blaufish systems for the effective treatment of seawater were installed at the CRAM Foundation for the conservation and recovery from injury of marine species. The first system treats the seawater coming in from the coast to the CRAM’s facilities as the high concentration of iron and manganese was a major problem. The other three systems are used to re-circulate the water in the 980-m3 dolphin tank, the 507-m3 turtle tank and the 5-m3 bird tank. These facilities are used to keep animals while they recover before they are released back into their natural habitat.
