Whitewater, a playground full of thrills

Whitewater offers experiences that are both sporting and recreational, accessible to all ages and skill levels. Canoeing, kayaking, rafting… these activities provide a different way to discover the river, while enjoying the sensations created by torrents and rapids.

When natural conditions are not available, Hydrostadium can create whitewater courses or stadiums tailored to your needs.

25 years of experience and international references

Since 1992, Hydrostadium has been designing reliable and sustainable whitewater courses. Our first official project for EDF’s hydraulic division, the tidal whitewater stadium in Lannion, has been operating for more than 30 years without replacing its Omniflots® obstacles, despite the constraints associated with seawater and flooding.

Our projects include three Olympic stadiums in particular: Beijing, Athens and Sydney, and our projects are present on every continent.

Custom design of courses and stadiums

Custom design of courses and stadiums

HYDROSTADIUM designs each course according to your technical constraints, objectives and site :

  • Course on a natural watercourse : adaptation of the layout and obstacles to enhance the existing potential.
  • Artificial stadium : permanent construction, positionable on any type of terrain, offering complete control over flow conditions.

Our hydraulic laboratory enables designs to be validated through physical testing at different scales, ensuring safety, performance and a high-quality experience.
