The building of the white water stadium in Saint Laurent Blangy is primarily a rehabilitation model of a former industrial site. The town council developed an ambitious project with an urban and social aspect : to create a torrent in the town centre and to facilitate the access to white water to school children, to prisoners near release, to general public...
In addition to the natural flow of the Scarpe river, the course in Saint Laurent Blangy is the first French stadium (and also the second of the world after the olympic course of Seo Urgel in Spain) to use a 9 cubic metres per second pumping station to bring water to the beginning of the river. This assures an optimal flow and a large navigation comfort.
La rivière artificielle a été creusée à travers une île formée entre l'écluse de la Scarpe canalisée et son bras de décharge. Une station de pompage de 9 m³/s vient avantageusement compléter l'alimentation gravitaire de la rivière, et permet ainsi d'assurer l'alimentation en eau du stade d'eau vive quel que soit le débit naturel de la Scarpe, en remontant l'eau au départ du parcours.
Thanks to OMNIFLOTS mobile obstacles, this stadium can be adapted to all levels, from beginners to high level athletes.
