Splash pads are the most requested piece of equipment for parks in North America. Understanding how they work, the value of a once-through system vs. circulated, and operational and design options are the focus of this session.
Terry Brannon, P.E., began his career in public works, beginning with the Cities of Irving and Tyler, Texas, before founding The Brannon Corporation. He continues to specialize in public works projects, but the firm has carved out an aquatic niche using their expertise in water conveyance and treatment and structural design. Terry is registered in 23 states as a licensed professional engineer. Now in semi-retirement from the engineering consulting business, 50 years total in engineering and 40 years in aquatics, he keeps himself busy sharing his experiences by writing and training engineers and contractors in the design and construction of aquatic facilities from public fountains, to splash pads, water parks, competition venues, lakes and streams, and private pools. He continues as a consultant to various construction management companies, hotels and resorts, municipalities, and branches of the U.S. Department of Defense.
