This beachfront pool area has to contend with extreme weather, a maritime environment and discerning guests.
Project challenges:
A very remote location in the middle of the Indian ocean, extreme weather conditions, beachfront location and local contractors who spoke no English and had never used Outdure products before. All products had to be quality approved by the Starwood Hotel Group.
The solution:
Outdure worked with Starwood Group to design the deck area. We then prefabricated the frames and shipped them to the local port, Male. The goods were then barged to the island and installed by local contractors. The initial 240m² was installed in eight days – three days for frames and five days for the decking boards – valuably minimising disruption to guests as well as minimising costs.
Comprehensive installation guides were provided to ensure ease of install. Minimal posts and concrete were required due to the long-span capabilities of QwickBuild.
Our QwickBuild modular framing system with marine-grade components and Outdure moisture-resistant EcoDecking was selected for its ability to withstand the testing conditions.
