Bruges Remarkable sight Thursday morning. along the Predikherenrei in Bruges: a pool of 1.2 tonnes hovered there above the houses. “One of our customers wanted a swimming pool in its garden in the heart of Bruges. It was a feat, to bring everything to a good end,” says Gaetan Caestecker of Aqua Nord swimming pools. The total cost of the order, including spectacular delivery? 60,000 euro.
That the places of the pool, a particular company proves to be the material used. With a tower crane had to be the colossus of 1.2 tons, high above the buildings be lifted. “Of course, asked a lot of organization and planning. There was a faucet of 72 tons. Only the route through the town centre had to be exactly mapped out. About the Kruispoortbrug drive, for example, was not an option. Who was responsible for only 45 tons,” says Gaetan Caestecker. The delivery was finally under police escort to the Predikherenrei. That street was a four hour shut down to the placement of the pool as possible.
Privacy
The swimming pool, built in Germany, was from the Predikherenrei, ultimately, sixty metres further on in a garden. The owners live in the Ganzenstraat, and can now splashing around in their private swimming pool of 10 by 4 meters. “These people are set on their privacy. Who the buyers are correct, may we not say,” says Caestecker. “It was certainly one of the more difficult recruiting in our 25-year anniversary. But okay: the owners wanted to swim in the town and that they can do now. Everything went well.”
