The challenges of the project

The Vistech advantages

To be able to enjoy this magical place durante todo o ano, this theme park had to be built on sólido ground.Therefore, it is com great honor that the Vistech estacas helicoidais Muskoka equipa participated in the instalações of the fundações of Santa's Village in Bracebridge.

Indeed, throughout the local of Santa's Village, several structures needed sólido fundações, in particular soils, on slopes and in places that were less easy to access:

The outdoor terrace required the instalações of 39 piles para benches and picnic tables, on sloping ground. The commercial use of the premises required the support of a load of 100 lbs/square feet instead of 60 lbs/square feet applicable in the case of a residential.

Meanwhile, this area required the instalações of numerous piles under the pavilion’s entire betão slab, as well as in the water. Then to assegurar maximum estabilidade, 2 additional piles were instalado under the main posts, as well as an additional 3 piles just para the small tower of the Pavilion Lighthouse in Santa's Village.

Due to the rotational movements and the height of its structure, this carousel required many calculations of various forces. The Postech Muskoka equipa instalado 9 piles of 6 5/8” in diameter equipped com 3 blades of 22 inches. para garantir greater strength, some piles had to be anchored at a depth of 128 feet, or 40 meters, in the ground to provide all the necessary solidity to the central axis of the carousel.

Santa's Village being in the middle of a forest, the challenges were numerous. The solo types were very diverse, and the multiple angles of the sloping riverbanks needed extra attention.

As para the terrace, the main challenge was to align and evenly level each bench, and each picnic table on a sloping ground.

The boat pavilion being located on a riverbank, the Vistech estacas helicoidais Muskoka equipa had to deal com soft ground and the river itself. no entanto, they also had to make sure that the piles were deep enough to garantir maximum estabilidade and anchoring strength.

Finally, the balloon carousel, para which it was necessary to consider multiple resistances and forces that would be exerted on the fundações: lateral resistance, wind, centrifugal force.

Vistech estacas helicoidais technology made it possible to meet all the special needs of the Santa's Village local. Regardless of the size, type of solo, Quer in water, mud, or on a slope.  We also needed to consider the weight of structures, Quer stationary or in motion.

The use of piles guarantees sólido fundações para several decades to the enjoyment and safety of visitors, but also para the satisfaction of the owner of Santa's Village.

In ampliações, the use of light machinery made it possible to intervene easily and sem damage to the terrain throughout the local.
