This pool is an example of how a partnership between the builder, Decode, Royal Life Saving Society (RLS), Gibbon Namor & Associates Architects & Project Managers and Schools Infrastructure to construct a pool with ancillary facilities which will provide swimming lessons free of charge during school hours. Out of school hours (after school hours and during weekends) the pool is open to the general public, allowing them to generate funds for the RLS and their life saving programs. The pool has state of the art pool water filtration systems and a new foyer, reception area, administration, staff amenities, first aid room, change rooms and training facility. The highly intricate process of installation of the key materials for the roof involved supply and erection of 35 tonnes of Structural Steel including beams, columns along with Ancon Tension Systems assembly. imported from the UK. Each of the attractive timber Glulam Beams weighing 1.5T are a feature of the pool hall ceiling and acts as the main support for the roofing panels. They were lifted into position with the use of a 55T mobile crane and fixed through the pre-cut slots into the structural steel columns. Special attention has been paid to the circulation of air at water level for the comfort of instructors and to the windows to prevent fogging. The colour scheme is striking and the element blend together in a attractive. practical and much needed facility which will also play a part in saving lives.
