anchoring devices
The choice of attachments represents an important decision since it is a determining factor on
construction’s evolution and delays.
aquajeux
offers 2 attachment modes. On one part, we have the
embedded mode and on the other part, the universal mode. Moreover, this last choice involves many
cutting-edge solutions in the industry.

universal mode
Using
aquajeux
’s universal devices
Unifix Type I
and
Type II
, you can take down, move, repair, change, substitute,
renew, or remove your structures and ground jets. In other words, they are now interchangeable. The advantages to such
devices are undeniable:
DD
Reduce many weeks of work delays.
DD
Allow an evolutionary design where it will be easy to add elements throughout the years.
DD
Repair, paint, or replace a damaged or vandalized structure with a ground jet or an other structure available in store. The play
area then remains functional during the repair delays.
DD
Take down structures during autumn to be able to use the play area for winter activities.
DD
Move or substitute structures and ground jets to optimize or correct some layout errors due to events out of our control such
as for example, a micro climate pushing water out of the play area.
DD
Switch around or substitute structures to freshen up the design
DD
Move ground jets or structures from one park to another for a wider variety of play areas.
DD
Vary water effects by using an assortment of spray heads.
DD
Standardize pieces and accessories to maintain a minimal inventory.
Unifix Type I base
The anchoring base is equipped with a 1.5’’ (75mm)
diameter sleeve in stainless steel, welded to the side of the
base. This facilitates installation and avoids the entrapment
of the water inflow pipe in the concrete footing. In case of a
break, it is easier to intervene with a plumbing joint on the
side, instead of underneath. The base has no protuberance
on top of the play area. Only the pole’s structure stems from
the ground.
embedded mode
The vast majority of manufacturers use the embedded mode. It is a cost-saving technique of fabrication where
the base of the structure is anchored under the concrete slab. It is then imperative that all structures and ground
jets be installed before proceeding to pour concrete.
Unifix Type I base
with a combined drain
aquajeux
’s combined drain
DR20-BU6
gives the designer the possibility to
insert a structure over the drain.
Unifix Type II base
This anchoring base is used for
the Bouquets category in the
aqualand
series (model
BU222
showed on picture). A bouquet can
consist of 3 to 5 stems. It can also
be combined with a drain like the
Unifix Type I
model.
