The decision to undertake this study arose from the appearance of a significant fold in a section of the main pool, which is most exposed to the force of the Atlantic Ocean. This area is adjacent to the Monumento al Mar, a fundamental part of the work designed by César Manrique and inaugurated in 1977.
Initially, the upward displacement of the ground by a few centimeters caused concern among maintenance managers and the council. Following initial inspections and soundings by divers, a considerable cavity was identified and subsequently filled with concrete to ensure structural stability.
“"A broader analysis was conducted, which for now rules out further future risks or problems in this regard for one of Tenerife's most important and celebrated tourist and bathing attractions."
Despite the initial intervention, a more in-depth analysis was deemed necessary to rule out the existence of other dangerous cavities. This study has confirmed that there are no further voids, even in the area where the Atlantic waves impact with the greatest intensity within the complex.
Currently, workers continue to restore this area of the main pool, with the concrete platform now complete. The next phase involves repositioning the cobblestone tiles. Although the area remains closed to bathers, its prompt reopening is anticipated.
