  • the bottom surface liner 16 may be preferably connected to the bottom side 180 of the first panel 2.
  • connection between the bottom surface liner 16 and the wall element 1 being established by brining into contact the bottom surface liner 16 with the first panel 2 of the wall element 1, heating at least part of the bottom surface liner 16 and at least part of the first panel 2 and retaining the contact between the bottom surface liner 16 and the first panel 2 of the wall element 1 at least until the thermoplastic material is cooled down entirely.
  • the resulting connection being a watertight and seamless connection.
  • the advantage of the easy installment of said bottom surface liner 16 is the possibility of creating a watertight bottom surface liner 16 connected to a plurality of interconnected wall elements 1, thereby defining a construction which is usable for example for constructing a swimming pool bowl.
  • FIG. 4 showing a side view of a wall element, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the wall element 1 being in an upright position.
  • the plurality of corrugations 12 of the second panel 5 being oriented vertically.
  • a plurality of beams 14 being mounted onto said second panel 5 of the wall element 1.
  • a plurality of wall braces 15 being mounted indirectly to the second panel 5 of the wall element 1.
  • Said plurality of wall braces 15 being mounted onto the plurality of beams 14.
  • Said plurality of wall braces 15 thereby contacting all of the plurality of beams 14.
  • Said plurality of beams 14 covering the entire width of the second panel 5.
