This project, on a restricted site, and with large structural spans is a fine example of the efficient use of concrete and the builders innovative and flexible approach to construction difficulties with this difficult structural build.
Works included a 500mm thick pool base slab supporting 1.8 million litres of water.
The pool superstructure was precast shell columns supporting precast shell beams and a precast deck slab.
Shell beams, 2 meters apart, had reinforcing and multi- strand post tensioning, similar to that used in bridge construction.
The standard of finish is very high and is a credit to the construction team.
