The main goal of this thesis is to analyze appropriate methods and approaches that lead to valuation of a sports complex, specifically the public swimming pool complex in Senica before and after reconstruction. The aim is to estimate the expenses that are related to running the place and to analyze its possible revenue. The object´s price is based on the up-to-date valuation acts. To perform the valuation, it was necessary to acquire the corresponding technical and economic documentation. Based on these documents, there is a visible technical upgrade, which is due to a reconstruction. The object is owned and managed by the town of Senica.

The diploma thesis deals with the application of membrane processes for the treatment of washing water from sand filters of pool technology to parameters suitable for its reuse, not only on a theoretical level, but also on a real example. The experimental part deals with the monitoring of relevant parameters given by Decree no. 568/2000 Sb. and other technologically significant water quality indicators. All monitored parameters in the reverse osmosis permeate reached satisfactory values and thus it was concluded that the effluent water is suitable for reuse. Instead of being discharged into the sewer, it is possible to recycle 70 to 80 % of the washed water per day thanks to the applied technology, which saves approximately 20 m3 of water per day.

Recently the uniqueness of the vernal pool habitat has been recognized by several groups of biologists. A survey of the literature reveals that interest of botanists, but one notes a lack of information of plankton which are so fundamental in the food web. Therefore, a taxonomic survey of the plankton seems appropriate. In the present study, the abundance of the predominant species of plankton were studied during a seasonal and also diurnal cycle. A possible correlation of this information with some physicochemical factors was also tested. Because of time constraints this study was limited to one pool but hopefully other researchers will extend this work in the future.

The continual increase in electricity dependence for the advancement of society has led to increased demand in electricity globally. This increased demand, among other things such as global warming interventions and energy security have encouraged the need to diversify electricity generation sources. Civilian use of nuclear power dates back to the 1950s. The United States of America and France are currently leading with the highest nuclear power generation in the world, generating 101 GWe and 63 GWe, respectively. Several countries such as China and the United Arab Emirates have committed to new nuclear build in order to increase their nuclear power generation capacities. Standing against the prospects of growth of the nuclear power industry are technical and nontechnical challenges. These include proliferation risk, safety, high capital costs and high-level waste management. Most spent nuclear fuel from power reactors is currently stored in the spent fuel pools on reactor sites, and some have been reprocessed. It is estimated that about 32% (370 000 tons of Heavy Metal) of the total spent fuel generated from power reactors have been reprocessed up to date. With most of the spent fuel pools filling up, alternative interim and long term disposal of spent nuclear fuel solutions have been under investigation from as early as the 1970s. South Africa has planned an interim dry storage facility for the spent nuclear fuel to be established at the existing Koeberg power station. The interim dry storage facility will make use of HI-STAR 100 multi-purpose casks to store spent nuclear fuel until the country decides on final disposal solution. There are many aspects that are critical to safe, efficient and cost-effective long term storage of spent nuclear fuel. Some of the physics and engineering aspects concerning dry storage facilities are briefly discussed. The aspects presented here are: radiation containment, spent fuel, sub-criticality, decay heat removal, site location aspects, response to seismic events, cask corrosion, transportation infrastructure, operability and monitoring. The study of the three existing dry cask storages from the USA, Hungary and Belgium gives an overview of the dry cask technology in use today. These presentations are based on publicly available reliable information. The proposed dry storage facility at Koeberg will be in the existing power station footprint using the HI-STAR 100 casks. The decision to have the proposed dry storage facility at Koeberg will minimise related licence applications and part of security installations as the site already has some security. The location of the facility in the power station’s footprint also allows for cost-effective and safe transportation of casks from the reactor building to the proposed facility. The modularity aspect of the dry cask storage facility at MV Paks in Hungary should also be employed at Koeberg to allow for more storage. This will cater for additional casks that may need to be stored if more nuclear power plants are procured in the future. South Africa’s air traffic around the Western Cape is not as congested as Belgium’s. There is, therefore, no need for the casks to be housed in concrete buildings like Doel’s. Most of Koeberg’s high-level waste would have had a longer cooling time in the pools compared to the minimum cooling time required for the chosen cask technology. This will provide a conservative, safe approach for Koeberg’s facility. Dry cask storage technology has provided a reliable interim dry storage solution for several countries. Despite uncertainties for long term disposal options, the proposed dry cask storage facility at Koeberg is a suitable interim storage alternative for South Africa to allow continuous operation of the plant. This conclusion is based on the physics and engineering aspects that have been presented in this minor dissertation.

The project is a public swimming sanctuary sited at the coast of the Adriatic Sea. The place sets up a bodily encounter with nature. The tidal lap pools, bath halls and paths are fragments, using the energy in line and color to appreciate human experience. The drawings are about the emergence of architecture from the convergence of land and sea. / Master of Architecture

The "MARIANKA" recreational complex is a modern building in a unique location with covered swimming pool with a swimming pool 25 m long, a spa area and recreation. The complex also includes a hotel, an outdoor area with a swimming pool of 25 meters, a children's pool, a hot tub and an outdoor dining area.

Project tries to answer the question what place does municipal baths have in contemporary society on a specific case of baths with relationship to river and surrounding neighbourhood. This baths are a place for recreation and socialization with accent on social apects. Baths build on proven experience from local baths tradition (european/roman) as well as exotic (arabic, asian). In the same time it articulates them in contemporary language and adjusts them to conditions of contemporary society.

Object pools its design reminds scallop. Swimming is apparently conceived as a single mass, which conceals all the necessary facilities for the overall operation of swimming pools. Capacity is designed for 200 people with one swimming pool of 25m, one child and one recreational pool. Additional function creates a bar with a terrace for snacks as for bathers, as well as for visitors. The entrance hall provides an opportunity for kids games in the form of a children's area with views through the glass walls to the pool hall. Interestingly as interior design-designed air management, which in a way adds a certain elegance construction. By installing solar panels on the south side of the roof structure becomes an object environmentally friendly and uses renewable energy as the future trend.
